The new Intel MacBooks are way wwaayyy faster than that G4 you're flogging. I would even take a MacBook over a MB Pro, cheaper and just as fast (though the screen is smaller). The portables will be as stable as a tower or an iMac too, so no worries there. That said, the new iMac's are really really sexy and the screens are huge. Have you seen the new design?

I use Macs every day as my job and the Intel portables have plenty of firepower for heavy use (coding, design, gaming, etc), though my main machine is one of the monster towers (quad dual-core, 8Gb mem, etc).
