Mac laptops for music

some questions I have:

1.)I'm thinking of getting a mac to use for recording, softsynth performance,graphic stuff, running applications like Pro Tools LE, Reason, etc . I already have the Mbox. Any models/configurations/setups that are known to work well? Can I use an ibook?

Or is now a bad time to get a mac lap top because of the intel chip switchover?

Problems with Power MAc G5

Im having a -9073 error in PT LE 6.9.2. It says it's about the Hard Drive, it might be too fragmented or too slow. Tha thing is that this problem only happens with ONE particular session, I'm being able to run other sessions with more tracks and plugins without a problem so it's really pissing me off because Im not being able to mix this particular session.

New to Mac recording

So I'm looking to meet up with (online or in person) people to discuss some of the more technical sides of recording. Anyone in portland oregon, or feel like having a new E friend? I'm currently a MOTU user. I've used Pro Tools and digital performer, and prefer DP. I'm having a hard time finding a good selection of FX in the MAS format. Any suggestions?
