Is the Mac G4 1.67 mhz notebook still a good bet, now that Apple has the still unproven Intel version G5?

Hi I’m goin to business school in june and need a very light notebook wit wireless wan,intel centrino processor,DVD Burner,Atleast 512 MB RAM and atleast 60 gb. What type of a laptop will i get at the cheapest for this configuration?I need the lightest possible as I cant carry weights and also need to lug around the whole day…The Sony TX 650P is a good one but a little pricey…I’m looking for somethin between $1000-$1500 max…Any ideas?
well also should i get a apple macbook pro or a powerbook incase i decide to get a apple…

Long story short, I am looking at buying a new laptop.
THe computer would be used for a wide variety of applications such as (but not limited to:) Gaming, digital photo and music editing (and enjoying), viewing DVD movies, surfing the web, and maybe even working from home.
Im trying to decide between one with a Pentium 4 and one with a Athlon 64 x2. The Intel is about $300 less and the ram can be expanded to 4GB. The AMD based one can hold up to 2GB of memory, but the chip is dual-core and by all accounts should be more powerful.
I have pretty much made up my mind between the two, and I guess I’m just fishing for either support for my decision or intelligent debate that makes me think even longer and harder about switching…
The computers are both by alienware, and I know that either one of them is going to blow my socks off, so im not worried about one being “bad” or anything, I just want to cover my bases and be 100% sure before i spend that kind of money.
-Thanks

Let’s say they all have the same processor which is the new Intel Core Duo and the same hard drive, display and memory size, which is better in terms of media performance, best value/deal, warranty and service, and additional perks? I need a laptop that I can watch TV with and play DVD movies. It should be able to run 3-4 applications without bogging down.

i heard there have been problems when you clone your old mac ibook or powerbook to a new macbook or macbook pro that run on intel processors. something to do with universal binary? i dont know, i just heard no all applications work on the intel chips and some may make the macbook hang or even crash. how will i know which apps to take out from my powerbook b4 cloning it to my new macbook pro
