Reply With QuoteThe problem is each model is missing something.
12" isn't 1 Ghz, memory ceiling, not easy to hookup large screen, no firewire 800, no lighted keyboard, no PCMIA slot. I consider it a faster ibook.
15" not updated with the new stuff(bluetooth,firewire, airport extreme)
17" a little to big, high cost.
If they update the 15 that will be the one for me.

You'd think that they could do a better job of the keyboard on the 17". It,s like this little thing in the middle of this massive computer. Maybe a number pad.

is the 17 really too big... its super slim, depth is almost the same as the 15 just .07 deeper, the main difference is the width being 2 inches wider...
is that a lot to carry around?iMac 17in, 1Ghz G4, 80gig, 768mb, SuperDrive
iBook 12in, 700 Mhz G3, 20gig, 640mb

The 17" is big enough to put another cpu in.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a dual gig 17" powerbook? I'd buy it on the spot!
Just dreaming.

Until the original PowerBook G4 (yes, the one I've got), the best notebook ever built was the PowerBook 180.
The PowerBook 12" is the new best notebook ever built.Mac user since 1987. Running Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on a MacBook Air 11" & an iMac 27" and whatever's newest for my iPhone 4s, iPad 3 and AppleTV 2.

Each model IS missing SOMETHING.
I want to by one to replace my 9500 at work, but I can't decide...- 12" 867Mhz vs. 15" 1Ghz?
- 12' Airport Extreme vs 15" Airport?
The 17" is just too beaudacious and ostentatious for me...
