Dueling Laptops: iBook G4 1 GHz vs. PowerBook G4 1 GHz
MacSpeedZone’s David Engstrom has written a new report that compares an iBook G4 1 GHz to the PowerBook G4 1 GHz.

Performance issues that separate the two machines:

• PowerBook has a twice the amount of L2 cache than that of the iBook
• The PowerBook has a different graphics card
• The two machines have different hard drives
• The PowerBook has the SuperDrive that can write DVDs (as tested), and the iBook has the Combination drive
