The new 12 inch PowerBooks are very attractive. See apple.com for a fuller
description of the new 12 inch PowerBook and its big brother, the 17 inch
PowerBook.
The 12 inch PowerBook, I think, maxes out at a 867 MHz G4 (although it may be
possible to a build your own with a higher speed processor). You can also
specify the DVD-R SuperDrive.
However, it will NOT have a PC card slot for what is the most convenient and
flexible add-on.
While others on this list may have found different uses for the PC card slots in their 2400's, when I had mine I needed it for a network card (wireless and ethernet) and a modem card. I suppose others could get a usb card, etc...
ALL of those functions in addition to firewire, are built into my iBook. Can't say I miss the 2400 at all. MAYBE evernow and then the heft of my 14" iBook is a pain, but now that gap has been narrowed with the new smaller ibook.
