I use a 12 inch 1ghz iBook G4 for my editing, with Final Cut Pro HD. You won't spend as much time rendering on a Powerbook, but my iBook works just fine for me. People criticize my laptop because of the small screen size. I think it's just fine, but the Powerbooks are widescreen (15 and 17 inch), and most people I know who have Powerbooks for video editing are extremely pleased. It would be a good idea also to spring for the superdrive. I regret not getting one for mine.
From what I'm told, Alienware laptops are just for show.
