ibook vs notebook - HELP :)

[AcidMaX]

I am thinking about picking up a laptop for myself before we go to vegas and I am wondering what would be good. I am thinking about either an Apple G4 ibook or a pc 2.4 ghz notebook. I was just browsing best buy and both seem comparible except in ghz, but the ibook is an PowerPC or something which I know nothing about. I have all PC's now but have wanted an apple since they started running a modified FreeBSD.

I mostly just do programming, email & graphics stuff on my computers, nothing fancy. I have things like Adobe Go Live, Photoshop & Trillian/ICQ. Just curious on your thoughts, I really want to get an Apple, but im wondering what a pain in the ass they are.
