Well, I am pretty sure that the newer generation notebooks from sony,
panasonic all support higher resolutions. Even Dell 700 m's  support
1280x1024 resolution.

So, I was wondering if it was worth buying the powerbook especially
since I am mostly gonna be running linux on it.

Thats a very good point. I will keep it in mind.
