Woo fricken hoooo! Now allz I gots to do is convince myself that I should spend $2000+ to get the 15" one.

yeah. the 512MB standard RAM is nice. surprisingly, the powerbook had declining sales.

If it's for school I'd go with the 12". The compact size makes it very convenient. 15" is not too unwieldly though; I put my 15" titanium in a laptop bag and it still fits in my backpack. I think you'll be happy with either one.

i have a 12incher

, and i wish i had a 15". The size is great, but I use daylite, which takes up tons of screen space. FCP, Photoshop, and other apps tend tofill my screen to. Its not uncommon for me to have 20 or so windows open at once between all my different apps, so i use a virtual desktop app that allows me to switch between desktops. Man i want a 15"
