I know it's all here somewhere....but i'd be grateful for some opinions on specs/
config. of the Powerbook i should be looking for to take on set with me.
 
For what purpose? To simply ingest p2 cards? If so, any 15 inch or 17 Powerbook G4 should work.

Twelve inch PB do not have a PC Cardbus Type II slot

as a 2nd device to ingest the cards, but also be able to review some clips now & again with my clients and or producer that's got a bad itch and just has to see..
so i'd like to have some version of FCP on board
thanks a bunch for your knowledge & time
 
the 1.67 ghz was the last powerbook made. so its probably the best to go with. i think the 1.5ghz was the first model to have usb 2.0 if that matters to you. for watching back clips and stuff i probably wouldnt go lower than a 1.25ghz model, and of course, max it out in ram and upgrade to a higher capacity harddrive. and i'd stay with a 5400 rpm drive to save on battery life and power.
