OK...So it's down to Sony vs. Powerbook...$1800 limit..
Main focus is wireless internet, portability, and word processing and must have a good screen for watching movies.
What you guys think?

Powerbook gets my vote, despite being slower. It will get you more ladies in coffee shops.

well...let's say they look the same..then what would have your vote? lol
The Sony, dependent on it having a Pentium M of decent speed in it.
They'll never look the same though, one says Apple and one doesn't. :)
Apple notebooks are in desperate need for an update though, which is the main reason behind Apple's switch to Intel.

So i'm confused..you're saying the Sony lightweights perform better than the apple?
Bump
sony = more stylish and arguably better features
ibm = best build quality
and IBM screen quality? how does that match up against the Sony?

sony uses their xbrite technology (also fujitsu and dell on the 700m) which has better IQ
Damn this is a hard decision!!
The Sony w/ Pentium M kills the Apple w/ G4. There's no comparison speed wise. But it really depends whether you need all the speed to begin with. The Sony will also offer longer battery life because of the P-M.

Yea..I realized the powerbook is outdated already...
So one more round... Sony vs. Dell 700M
Which performs better? My budget is around 1800..remember
You can get $750 off the 700M pretty frequently. They've been running massive laptop deals recently. You can get *much* more on the Dell for the same price, but the Dell isn't very attractive and the screen isn't as nice.
I'd buy the Dell though since I like Dell and you get so much more for your money.

$750 of?! damn..i'll check by the site frequently
