[QUOTE="hunkydave, post: 19950"] I'll be using it for webdesign, some programming, listening to music and watching dvd's and browsing the net. what i wont be doing is running 3d packages or other such processor heavy stuff, im really wanting to keep it minimal, and portability is high on my agenda. I doubt the change in processor speed will really bother me that much. i run a p3 800mhz at home and thats never bothered me one bit. i presume even the 12" ibook will be more powerful than my pc so im not too fussed. A guy i work with brought in his 14" ibook for me to play with. Its utterly beautiful, but a wee bit heavier than i had thought it would be. But there's plenty screen and its still really small and cute. I know however, that i would adore the 12" one. im gonna go and check how much lighter it is :) One thing, how long do batteries last for? im hearing conflicting reports but all seem to fall around the 5hr mark? (im not only new to macs, but laptops too! :| ) thanks in advance. im excited now. :Dave [/QUOTE]
