If you're going to shell out the extra cash for the powerbook, why not get an Apple laptop with the Intel processor ? That way you can use bootcamp and do a dual boot with Windows in case there is software you want to use which is not compatible with the MAC.

I agree that get an Apple laptop with the Intel processor is a good idea.

Unless you want the mac software, I NEVER would recommend an Apple. IMHO every item with the official Apple stamp is WAY overpriced. You could easily find a faster Windows based Laptop for cheaper. You can run MAC OS X on PC's now anyway, although not 100% sure about how good hardware compatibility is.
