--15" PowerBook (1.5 Ghz, 512 MB DDR333 RAM, Bluetooth, SuperDrive, 512 L2 cache, 80 GB HD, Radeon 9700, 64 MB Video memory, airport extreme, FW 400 & 800
They are both pretty close on features. Remember that the PowerBook is going to come with an LCD that has slightly higher resolution (1024 x 768 on the iBook, and 1280x854 on the PowerBook). After spending some time looking at the screens on both at a local store, I found the PowerBook screen to be a little bit better looking. The iBook officially only supports video mirroring, while the PowerBook can use an external monitor as additional desktop space. Over a 5 year span, I think that I would choose the Powerbook, if for nothing other than the slightly faster processor and the better video card. Generally you want to buy as much as you can afford to, especially if you are considering purchasing a laptop.
