Looking for a laptop

I've been wanting a lap top for awhile now, but several things may occur that could bring one into my possesion sooner than later.. Enough about that though..

I've pretty much zeroed down to two options.. either a dell laptop (i'll have to look the specifics later) or a Apple Ibook G3 800 Mhz, 30GB hd, with plenty of ram and a Dvdrom/CD-rw combo drive.. also an airport card/port, and usb.

The Ibook I've seen range from $500 - 800.. And I've wanted an apple for awhile.. And it had OS X.. so.. I'm heavily leaning towards it, I'd have to be blown away by Dell to change my possible choice..
