From: Ben Dyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The GPU may not seem like it's too important, but under Tiger, none of the iBooks (nor the Mac mini, for that matter) will support CoreImage.
Very valid point!
So this includes the 12" PB G4 1GHz ??? ---
The DVI out is another big thing -- if you want to upgrade the LCD (or if the current one has a DVI connecter), it's much better to go DVI->DVI (or even DVI->VGA) than VGA->DVI.
Yes, I had thought of this. ---
Also, PowerBooks can ("officially") take more RAM (up to 1.25GB
No, the same:

An extra 10GB hard drive space is not huge either way, but you'll probably hit the limits of the 30GB drive reasonably soon, so at least the 40GB gives you more time to upgrade.
Not for me as the PowerBook/iBook won't house any file storage, I will have my server for that. The *Book will act a bit more like an NC.
Everyone remember those ??? ---
Finally, the PB is just a much more attractive computer. The iBooks scratch and stain quite easily, whereas the PB maintains its pretty aluminium sheen through almost any punishment.
Also, I can paint the AlBook with automotive paint!!!
Just gotta decide on a design, taking inspiration from some NHL goalie helmets! :o)
