After doing a little research, I found out that the powerbook also has a faster bus speed. 167MHz to the iBook's 133MHz. Check out everymac.com for complete specs of each model.
Like I said before, it really depends on how much you really think you need. You have to decide whether the extra features of the powerbook are really worth the money.

For most school stuff an iBook would do just fine. Unless you are doing video editing, or crazy photoshop stuff or want to hook it up to a big display. The 15 inch power book is really sexy and has a ton of features that you pay for but probably won't use. DVI out for extended desktop, firewire 800, giga bit eithernet etc.
In the mac vs PC realm as long as you arn't doing somthing like cad or specific programing either one should be fine. For example if you are majoring in drafting and your whole college uses auto cad the mac is a bad choice.

Don't call me a jerk! I was helpful first and argumentative later!
Um, thanks, though.

Best thing to do is ask your uni what they support and recommend. If they support mac, go ibook. If they don't, stop and think about how many problems you'll have if something goes wrong with it. I hate macs, but other people love them, so if you're not doing anything specific in your course that requires windows, go for the mac.
P.s. as an ex dell laptop repair technician, i have to say............
NEVER EVER BUY A DELL
