Is there a difference between the screens of the 12" pb and 12" ibook. I know the resolutions are the same but was wondering if the pb screen was brighter.

I looked at both of them at CompUSA. The iBook screen was noticeably dimmer. It didn't look bad, it just wasnt as good looking as the PB. I put the same background colors on each and opened iPhoto images and then compared the two. There was a noticeable difference, at least to my eyes.

Someone (maybe you!) asked this on Apple PB board. Got a reply saying the iBook used Philips screen, PB 12inch used Samsung part. They quoted part numbers so sounded authoritative.
