It's a beautiful machine, but the larger screen and thin bezel is a
little fragile and it's hard to use on airplanes if that's a concern.
And of course, the 17" weighs more. It's a great desktop replacement,
but I'd personally go with the 15" if I already had a desktop.
Also, something to know about the Powerbook vs iBook is that the
Powerbook can be hooked up with an external monitor and keyboard and
run with the book closed. The iBook can't.

Well he works at an Apple store in Syracuse and has just about convinced me to go with the new 17" Powerbook from Apple as apposed to the DELL laptop I was looking at. Now jumping to a MAC is a huge leap for me as I have been against them forever... but after putzing around with my buddy's for a couple hours, they blow PCs out of the water not too mention they are VERY easy to use. I will keep my PC desktop, but am really thinking about the Powerbook...
