From what I've seen, no pc maker has a notebook as sweet as the Powerbooks, but they also aren't nearly as expensive...But I think I like the idea of challenging myself with learning a new OS. I successfully dual booted Linux on my first attempt and figured it out fairly quickly, so I think learning OSX shouldn't be too bad. Now I just need money. Anybody want to buy a kidney?
Panasonic ToughBook CF-W2
small, light, 1.1 GHz Centrino is almost as powerful as my old 3 GHz P4 desktop.
Weighs 2.6 lbs with battery, averages 6 hours daily use at my office before plugging in. It has a very bright viewscreen, twice as bright as my older P4 laptop, which weighed close to 6 lbs with batteries. May not be as powerful as the Powerbooks, but they're extremely portable and almost as pretty. I gave up my Ipaq PDA because it was about as easy to port my new laptop with me everywhere. And it plays Doom3, Halo, and Freelancer adequately
