[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 45607, member: 4085"] Actually... the text size between each of the PowerBook and iBook are identical, so if your gonna strain your eye's, you'll be doing it on all. The larger screen size is nice if you gonna make use of applications that have pallets, multi toolbars and tool boxes. Other than this, there isn't much difference besides cost and features. Surprisingly the current range of iBooks will out perform the older Ti PowerBooks. Now there's food for thought. I think 12" iBooks are cute, good for users on a budget that don't require anything too fancy. They can connect to other displays but only work as a mirror. However, 12" PowerBooks are really nice, very cute and loaded with features! They even have a mini DVI port to connect to digital monitors or TFT's, you can choose between mirror or dual, offering support up to 2048 x 1536 pixels on an external display, both at millions of colors. Both are so compact you can just carry them everywhere, the bigger the screen size, the heavier they become as Apple squeezes in more juice to power the bigger display, hence a bigger battery. Bottom line... if you have the money, then go for the 12" Powerbook, if your gonna make use of all it's features and it's power. Otherwise a iBook will do. Also think about resale value... the PowerBook range will tend to keep the value for longer, for some insane reason. Happy shopping. [/QUOTE]
