I own a iBook2 700 14.1 and I am really happy with it. The only problem
I have with it is that the flash plugins are not compiled for PowerPC
(or if they are, i have not been interested enough to find them ;)

If you have the money, I would go for the PowerBook since its processor
is much more powerfull.

Dual boot is not a problem. And if you decide to buy the ibook you can
find step-by-step info on how to configure it at the address listed
below.
