I have a 15" 1 gig tibook, would it be worth it to change it now for an albook 12 " (about 400 $ more here in argentina) or should I wait? (im afraid the price of my machine will really drop).
How about overall and video performance?
is the 12" inch screen worse?
Thx in advance, Matias

It's not worth it. Performance will be similar (12" slightly faster). The screen is vastly inferior. And the 12" Powerbook's resale value will plummet very soon. The Titanium (1 GHz model specifically) is holding its value very well.
