So, if your choice is between PowerBook 12" and iBook 12",

PowerBook 12"
1.33GHz PowerPC G4
256MB PC2700 (333MHz) DDR SDRAM, up to 1.25GB RAM
Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 64MB SDRAM
60GB Ultra ATA (upgradeable to 80GB 5400-rpm)
Bluetooth built-in
AirPort Extreme built-in
Mini-DVI to DVI, mini-DVI to VGA
can extend your desktop to second display.
dimension: 3.0 x 27.7 x 21.9 cm and 2.1kg

iBook 12"
1.33GHz PowerPC G4
256MB PC2100 (256MHz) DDR SDRAM, up to 1.25GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 32MB SDRAM
30GB Ultra ATA (upgradeable to 60GB)
VGA and S-video out
Video mirror only (no extending of desktop)
dimension: 3.42 x 28.5 x 23.0 cm and 2.2kg

In short, iBook 12" is a very portable machine, but the PowerBook 12" is even better.

There's a hack to make iBook/eMac/iMac to extend the desktop.

Out of curiosity, how long do the batteries last on these models?

Apple promises 4 to 5 hours on the battery. Of course that differs if you use it to do high stakes tasks, such as watching DVDs or burning CD's.
