OK, tell me more...
Whatever I get is going to be used for
a) wifi surfing
b) video playback (DVD and Divx)
c) goofing off when I should be working
I'll still use my desktop for any serious content-creation tasks (video, MP3, etc). This is going to be purely a toy.
I love the look of the 17" PowerBook but it's WAY outside my price range.
Would an iBook suffice for this? What kind of battery life do these things get? A decent Centrino notebook can pull 4+ hours in some cases.
Also, will I be able to plug my "Windows" iPod into an iBook? Or am I screwed on that one?
