OT: Purchasing a New Apple Laptop

This is, of course, off topic, but it would be great to get input from such knowledgable people.
After spending four years with two IBM ThinkPads (600E and T22), my blood pressure can no longer take it. My stress levels have literally been increased by three or four times due to the problems encountered with these computers.
I owned a few Macs in high school (Color Classic, Performa 6116CD, and a B/W G3 Tower) and would like to get a new Mac laptop. My debate is this: should I get a high end iBook, or a low end PowerBook? I would like to spend around $2,000 (maybe $2,500 if I'm lucky) and must have the Super Drive. Also, it must last for at least 2-3 years with no upgrading (I will be a teacher making $30k/year if I am lucky).
So, please give me your opinions (good or bad) on the laptops and on OSX. Thanks!
