Any suggestions on Mac G4 PowerBook??

[forum]

Question 1:

I'm looking into purchasing a Mac G4 Powerbook strictly for video editing and graphics work, however I have a few reservations about it since it doesn't seem to have an internal secondary drive for capturing media. Should I just go ahead and buy an external hardrive to go with it or should I go with a desktop computer instead?

Question 2:

Because my work will be very graphically driven, I know from past experience that LCD monitors are tricky when it comes to getting a proper display of colors and images since everything changes depending on what angle you're viewing the monitor from. Is this also the case with the Mac G4 Powerbook? Does anyone know?
