Well, I can think of two options, and that would be either a 14" G4 iBook, or a
15" G4 Powerbook. From what I have seen, 14" iBooks are not as plentiful as the
12", and from what I have seen, they usually sell at a higher price. A G4
Titanium Powerbook would be a good option as there are plenty of them out
there, and aside from paint chipping, and some cases in which the hinges wear
out, they seem to be pretty durable. You should also be able to find a good
deal on one. All of the above should be an upgrade in video performance over
the Pismo. Especially later models.
Best Wishes!
