So I bought a new 12" Powerbook about a week ago. My old powerbook had totally died due to a video chipset issue. Aside from the video, the machine works fine, so I may have to do something funky with it. Back to the new Powerbook, I thought that I would feel like the 12" would be too small, but I didn’t want to spend the money for the 17" and buying another somewhat outdated 15" seemed silly. I was wrong though, I don’t feel like it is too small screen wise for my use of it. The fact that it is so small makes it easier to carry around, and I’m really enjoying it.
