The iBook is a very good machine, but it maxes out at 14" at 1024x768, and doesn't have a Core Image-capable video card. The mid-range PowerBook does support Core Image and has a 15.2" screen at 1280x854. That's a huge difference for me.
There are few situations where a second screen doesn't help me out. Xcode is probably one of the best examples. I can have the project on the left and either IB or the running app itself on the right. Same goes with working on web sites: code on the left, site on the right.
