Hi everyone!

I'm a french canadian teacher who work with an ibook (12" G3 800Mhz) since more than 2 years.
I use my laptop everyday with Word, Powerpoint, Safari and sometimes Photoshop. I'd like to play some games here and there (like warcraft, Unreal Tournament,...)
I'd like to change it for a Powerbook, but I don't know wich one to choose (12" superdrive or 15").
I'm not very happy with the graphic cards of the 12" powerbook (geforce go5200) but the difference in price (in canadian dollars is around 500$ between the 12" and the 15").
I've read that the battery life of the 15" is not very good. I'd like to buy the 15" because the screen is very nice!_ I don't know if it's a good deal if i compare it with the 12"?
It would be appreciated to have a piece of advice before It was to late


Thank you all!

I've got a 15" tiBook 867mhz and love it. The screens are considerably better on the 15" as are the graphics card. IMO the 15" is really the powerbook "sweetspot"

For the cost of the 15" you can buy a decent LCD if you only play games at home when plugged in. This doesn't solve the video card problem in the 12" but it means you can still be portable.
