Hello, I'm new to these forums, and will be new to Mac.
I am currently looking for a laptop to replace my Dell Inspiron 5100, due to how much overheating it does because of the flaw in the fan's design.
I was looking around, and considered a macintosh because of how much I have been hearing about how much better media works on it than a PC(excluding games). I saw the iBook 12" 1GHz G4 on the Apple main site, and about fell in love with the design. Small, sleek, and sexy. But, I am extremely worried about the screen size, if it would be too small. Here is what I will mainly be using it for:
- Watching DVDs and other media.(this will be my main use)
- iTunes
- Web browsing
- AIM
- Homework/writing
Would the 14" be a better choice? I love how the 12" looks, but I am really worried the screen may be too small, and I cannot see it in person to decide sady. Here is a set of questions I need answered.
How is the quality of the LCD screen on the 12"?
Is the 12" just as good for watching DVDs?
Is the 12" screen simply too small for a desktop replacement?
Never used OS X, could I still program with C++ on it?
Any help would be obliged.
