Also the graphics on the Powerbooks are better. and of course the larger screen sizes available for the Powerbook as well as the lower weight.

Not to mention that the iBooks end at 1GHz which is where the Powerbooks start.

Also, the availability of the Superdrive in the Powerbook.

I'm sure I missed a few differences, however the Powerbook is still a good deal for those who need what it offers.
