Good stuff. That is possibly my next laptop too, although I might
go for a 12" for portability's sake.
Just as an FYI, the screen on the 15" Powerbooks is MUCH nicer than
the 12" iBooks and Powerbooks. Brighter, anyways. Better
contrast. Make sure you check out the other advantages/
disadvantages of the smaller model before you make the leap.
(and, knowing Apple, this info could be out of date the minute I
hit "send". But as of two months ago when my brother swapped up
from his iBook to the 12" Powerbook, he was disappointed that he
didn't end up with a screen that was any better than the one he'd had.
The PB 12" and iBook 12" use the same screen. I've had both PB G4 15"
and 17" models when I worked at Apple (supplied by my boss), but I
used the iBook and PB 12" models a lot too. The smaller screens are
satisfactory for what I'd want in the laptop, the larger screens are
definitely better.
For any serious image editing, any of them is quickly outdone by
plugging in a desktop monitor. :-)
