Hi Burhan,
Value for money wise, I think the iBooks are much better than the
powerbooks. There isn't much in it spec wise, but the there is a
reasonable price difference.
On the power front, I don't think you need to worry. I use a Mac at
work that is about half the speed of the latest iBooks, and it handles
Photoshop etc just fine. What I would do it take the money that you're
saving getting an iBook instead of a powerbook and max out the RAM.
This will have much more effect on the speed of your machine than
upping the processor speed.
