I've finally decided to make the switch from PC to Mac. I'm selling my Fujitsu-Siemens p4 2.0GHz laptop, and buying one of the new G4 iBooks.

But here's the question:
How does a G4 iBook compare to my old computer? I'm an architecture student, and I do a great deal of architectural design, 2d drawing and 3d modelling. Is the iBook up for the task? How fast are 1 Mac-GHz compared to 2 Intel-Ghz?

I'm kinda on a limited budget here, but should I save the money for a Powerbook instead?

Make sure that whatever software you are using is available for the Macintosh Operating System.

Yes, both Archicad and Lightwave are available, so that's ok.
