20GB Ultra ATA drive - roomy as you'll need (for now)
DVD-ROM w/DVD-Video - same as above

The £1500 Question - Is it more expensive than a PC?
Let's look at some competition. I'm not going to get into the Processor speed issue. Architectures differ, there is no common benchmark, speed is also by software... yadda yadda. Not going there. Suffice it to say that the PowerBook G4 is a high-end laptop. Powerful but light...
