Fan noise, which is very much releated to the CPU power is also something to think about. Some laptops are noisy to the point that they are unusable for audio-work (or just about anything).

this is no issue for ppc-laptop, at least on my ibook the fan sleep almost ever... all the heat is dissipated through the bottom surface. the only noise is the hd spin
btw consider that new apple laptops dont have a card with line input or so, only a headphone out, and you'll be obligated to buy some sort of audio usb/firewire device. i've got an imic, but it dont work with jack for format issues, i dunno what.. maybe bit packaging, and the plug layer of alsa dont help
and yes, maaaaaaaaany audio tools are still little-endian-only- compliant
when that'll change? this is UNIX, we can rack-mount tens of sparc doing massive number crunching ;)
