Get the Lenovo; install 2 partitions; Buy Snow Leopard upgrade for $30 to upgrade your existing Mac (or if you prefer, buy the full install version); install Snow Leopard on the laptop.
Here's how.
Now your daughter has both on one machine, and you have saved $700.
I figured out how to do it having never done it before. Now I've got Leopard on my Toshiba laptop and on a quad-core AMD desktop. If it is more than you can handle, maybe there is a tech savvy teenager in the neighborhood who will help you.

That is an interesting idea. The G5 won’t upgrade to Snow Leopard, it’s Power PC based. Apple killed support to PPC with the Snow Leopard release.
I will look over the OSX86 Project, interesting I’m sure I could do it if I wanted to.

install Snow Leopard on the laptop. Just remember you're pretty much out in the cold if you have any problems. Neither Lenovo nor Apple will give you support for that configuration.

As for putting it on the PC laptop, I got the impression that AC and his daughter are not into pirating software.
