I'm probably getting a powerbook for my next machine - they are well built 
(a lot of people run them at work), the screens are not particularly high 
res, but they make up for than in weight.

The newer ones require kernel 2.6 AFAICT to get the video running 
properly, but that shouldn't be a huge problem. I haven't check up to see
if suspend is working properly - thats a crucial isue for me.

I guess the more of us who buy them the quicker the endianness problems 
will be fixed, ppc-linux-audio-user? :)
