Hey all. My ex girlfriend is looking for advice (and even tho she is my ex, given it is mac related I'm trying to assist haha). I have given her my opinions on this but the more sides of the argument she sees the better. I was wondering what all you thought she would be better off with. There is the deal...
She has a 20" Dell widescreen monitor (as do I and it is great!) so she would not necessarily need a 15". However, she does indulge in WoW from time to time and fears the 5200 would not drive the 20" monitor and WoW in windowed mode at a playable frame rate. I tested a 12" the other day and it was not so hot in WoW performance so this is of concern. However, she will be taking it to class at least 2 or 3 times a week so that is a concern as well on the portability side.
If other users that have a 15 or 12 inch powerbook hooked up to an external display could share their opinions or things they would change if they could, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
