Before you throw tomatoes let me tell you I still think PC's are the more functional machine. It's just that for the work I am doing Mac's work better.

Her are the specs:
667MHz PowerPC G4 @ 133MHz
256K L2 cache @ 667MHz
512MB SDRAM memory
30GB Ultra ATA drive
Combo Drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)
ATI Mobility Radeon w/
16MB DDR video memory
Gigabit Ethernet
56K internal modem
1 FireWire & 2 USB Ports
Airport Card Included

Not so suckage!!

The only reason why I considered gettin that was because of the package. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a similar package for the PC's would cost a tad bit more..?

I think that if you are a graphic designer or into multimedia, the powerbook is a good all-inclusive computer. You're right by believing a comparable PC would probably cost the same if not more than a powerbook.

Brew, it's basically just your standard 802.11b wireless network card. The card is internal and the antenna is built into the chassis. Here at UCSD supposedly there is a big wireless network that I should be able to drop into. I have yet to test it though but if I can, it will be pretty sweet.
