My coworker has convinced me to buy a Mac. I've been in the market for a good laptop for quite awhile, and I think the Mac might be the best choice.
Here's my problem, do I get a 12 inch or 15 inch powerbook? I am a college student, so I get discounts from apple.
I can get a 12 inch Superdrive, with RAM upgraded to 513MB and HDD upgrade to 80GB and the Airport Extreme card, basically identical to the 15 inch Superdrive, without the blacklit keyboard and 250 MHz less processor speed. All that for about 1500 after savings and discounts.
OR
I could get a 15 inch powerbook with a HDD upgrade to 80GB with 5400 RPM for about 2000.
So, my question really is... is the extra screen space and a little more processing power worth 500 bucks?
**Incase you were wondering, I have to get some sort of upgrade to get more savings, so it is cheaper with the upgrades.
