Mostly just taking the piss, hun. Price is the most important concern. And by my reckoning a $1199 Averatec is much cheaper than a $1449 iBook. Even with the education discount my friend gets it's still around $1400.
If the PowerBook price difference was that small, I'd go for it. But the iBook doesn't appeal as much, really. Plus, once other important consideration is that I currently have rather wide open access to a lot of software I use, and that door would close if I went with a Mac. Barrier to entry. :(
