Compare:
iBook:
* 16-bit CD-quality stereo headphone jack
* Built-in stereo speakers
* Built-in microphone
* Support for external USB audio devices such as microphones and speakers
Versus Powerbook:
* Audio line in (minijack)
* Headphone out (minijack)
* Built-in stereo speakers with midrange-enhancing third speaker (12-inch and 15-inch models)
* Two built-in stereo speakers (17-inch model)
* Internal omnidirectional microphone
My guess is that the 12" speakers are better, especially with the additional 3rd speaker to boost the midrange.
EDIT: 3000th post. Way too many
