Hi all,

Today I took the plunge & traded my iBook 12" 800Mhz for a new iBook 14" 900Mhz.

First impression: this thing rocks. While I liked the 12", the screen was simply a little too small for my eyes. The 14" has certainly corrected this issue :-)

Anyhow, for all of the people out there trying to decide whether to buy a 12" or 14", take it from me; both machines are outstanding.

Cheers,
Darren

Buy the 12". 14" is heavy, big and looses that Apple appeal since its bigger than most PC laptops.

Buy whatever suits YOU! -- everyone is different. I had a 12", didn't like the small screen, so I got the 14". Both are great machines though.

btw, a Powerbook 100 looks better than most PC laptops. The 14" is no different, to me it's a gorgeous machine.
