I had been planning on buying a 14" iBook while I'm waiting for the Intel Macs, nothing special, I don't need to impress the guy or gal in the next airplane seat, but I thought I'd wait until the new PBs were released before I ordered. The new, larger PBs were underwhelming, at least when it comes to my particular needs, but then I noticed that they dropped the price on the unchanged 12" PB by $200.
The Amazon price is $1499 - a $150 rebate = $1349 for the PB vs $1299 - $125 = $1174 for the iBook. No tax and free shipping.
Apple Care is a few bucks cheaper for the iBook. The PB has the aluminum case, a larger hard drive and a slightly faster processor. Same screen resolution.
So now for $175 more I'm inclined to order the 12" PB. Have I missed something?
Thanks!
