It is of course clear that ThinkPad and PowerBook are aimed at different markets. You could say that the two machines are like the Lady and the Tramp. The PowerBook suits a wizard of digital media, whereas the ThinkPad suits a salesman demonstrating his products on the go. They both cost the almost the same (the DVD-ROM model), and both have their advantages. Thus, depending on your requirements, making the choice between these two machines is probably easy. At least for me it is so.

What I would really like to test, if I had the time, is having the ThinkPad with Linux installed. Somehow the neon-colored Windows XP doesn't fit the robust-looking ThinkPad at all.
