[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 90776, member: 9655"] In my view - If getting a 12" model, get an iBook. If you're comparing 14" iBook vs 15" PB, get a powerbook. If you want to play games a lot on a notebook, definitely get the 15" powerbook (Radeon 9700 in the 15" vs GF5200 in the 12" PB vs Radeon 9200 in the iBook 12"). The 3d capabilities of the 12" PB vs 12" iBook is not that significant, despite the increased VRAM in the PB, but the 15" PB vs any iBook it is significant. The other differences are, IMHO, very minor to the vast majority of users. -Lonerider [/QUOTE]
