I am about to buy my powerbook and right now I am stuck between the 17inch and the 15inch screens.
I just wanted some input on what everyone thought. With the student discount, it is only going to be about a 200 dollar difference between the two.
Right now I am leaning towards the 15inch powerbook. I am planning on carrying it everyday to class and I want something that will fit in my backpack.
The 17inch has drawn my attention for a few reasons. First of all, the screen is huge, you really can use it as a tv and sit away from it, I'm not sure the same can be said about the 15inch. I plan on keeping my 19inch crt, but the 17 offers more screen when played in widescreen.
Also I am going into film and the extra space would be great for editing as I am always wanting a bigger timeline.
I guess in the end its an opinion thing. My friend has a 17inch powerbook and I still can't decide if its practical. I just want to hear from anyone who has exsperience between the two and any feelings they have on them.
I just want to know if there will be a big difference between a 17 or 15 powerbook in my backpack. I know the weight is a very small difference, but the size is pretty different.
