I used the 12-inch Powerbook G4 for 5 years before getting a new MacBook a couple of months ago. I think my husband was most excited - he inherited the Powerbook. Honestly, if he hadn't wanted it so badly, I probably would have kept it and just put in a bigger hard drive. It was only 40 GB, so you can imagine the limitations on songs, photos, etc. Plus I'm in publishing, so I have some awfully large files on my computer from time to time with scanned images, etc. I just needed more space.
I loved the small size of the 12-inch - which is no longer made. And the husband uses it for exactly what you mention - kicking around the house and light travel. My new one has 250GB so we could empty the old one considerably - making it even faster. Really - my only complaint was the small hard drive. Everything else worked as perfectly as the day I got it.
