That is a fine laptop, way faster then what I'm using actually. Has all the features that my 17" Powerbook has like dual monitor support and a PC card slot. The keyboard lights up which is really sweet for using in the dark.
This is where I buy much of my stuff from. Not sure if non US people can buy through them or not.

Another good reason to go with the older G4 Powerbook is it is a refined mature design that has had the bugs worked out.
Lots of good info about what is working and what isn't with the Intel Macs.
