I am on the lookout for an apple notebook, and have been reading through the forums, but I still can't decide...
- 12" ibook 1Ghz with 60Gb HD and AE
- 14" ibook 1.2Ghz with 60Gb HD and AE
- 12" PB 1.33Ghz with 60Gb HD and AE (and BT)
I work as an architect, but the notebook is not really intended as a drawing board (but I do sometimes need to show some stuff to customers on the road). Primary use will be word/excel and the internet.
I am especially curious about the screen size of the 12" ers... I know you can always hook up an external monitor @ home but still... Is 12" enough ? Furthermore : would you go for the faster 14" ibook (and the bigger screen) or spend the extra $$ for the PB range ? I have the feeling that, since the PB G5 is still some time away, the G5 ibook is for now nowhere to be seen. So an ibook looks like the best bang for $ ??
Any thoughts are welcome.
