One more thing. This one has a Danish keyboard, which might be slightly different from the Norwegian one. It has the exact same characters, but a couple of them is placed differently. Can you change such things? By defining the keyboard differently and maybe switching around the key's?
I'd concur with the person who said that iBook should be enough for your needs. The biggest issue for you (except for the price, of course) would be the size of the screen and the whole unit... just look around here or in the recent archives of the list, there's still an ongoing discussion about this very topic (subject '"Less is more" or "Bigger is better"'). But if you've known PowerBooks for more than a decade, I'm sure you have it all figured out already.
There is also an issue with PowerBooks (metallic) looking different than iBooks (white), which might be a factor for some people. I know it was for me. :)
As for the keyboard, you can definitely switch the layout in Mac OS X on the fly. I do it all the time between English and Polish keyboards. Of course, that'll mean that some of the Danish key caps won't be giving you the characters they promise :), but if you're used to Norwegian keyboard scheme, or even touch type, it won't be a problem.
I am not sure if you can define your own keyboard scheme in Mac OS X (although I think there should be a possibility). There's a program called Double Command that can let you switch the modifier keys (Command, Control, Option, etc.) and some other stuff -- it was very helpful for me to get the Polish accents the way I'm used to.
Good luck with your purchase!
