There are some discontinued ebooks floating around really cheap and there is a big sale on 1.8G5s right now.
There won't be any G5 powerbooks until the get the energy usage under control. However, a rumor mill I read stated that motorola has come out with a 1.25+Ghz G4 that comes in 20 watt and 10 watt varieties!! If that is the case, then there might be a dual G4 powerbook.
In my mind, the confusing thing is the video cards. Apple is selling several video cards with their various machines.
Oh--and another thing--don't forget to get Applecare. It really matters with a powerbook. They will repair stuff they really shouldn't --and if you don't get it, they won't even answer the phone for warrantee work.
As for Dell, my wife got a brand new Dell last summer at work. It was the worst piece of garbage I've ever seen. It had a nice monitor, but the cursor didn't work- and the only thing you ever saw on the screen was the hourglass. It was total garbage.
My 2.5 year old 550powerbook continues to be a total joy to use--mostly because of Applecare--and partly because I ignore the articles benchmarking the dual G5.
