Actually no, I don't. They're pretty, but that's about the only think I like about them. I want something x86 based that I can dualboot, I really don't have much interest in adding MacOS to my life. UNIX based or not.
Besides, the screen (resolution) on all the Mac notebooks is too low, I really want 1600x1200 (UXGA) or better. I have that at work on both my Dell laptop and my two monitors, and I really, really like it. I can have two useful windows side by side, and still have some room. Even 1280x1024 just isn't quite enough. The 1440x900 of the 17" AlBook might be ok, I'd have to try it. But it still isn't the right architecture.
Besides, I have an aversion to paying more than something is worth, and for the money of a PowerBook I can get an x86 laptop with a lot more features.
