It is a shame that the hard drive and such are no longer user upgradeable (at least not for the faint of heart). User upgradeability of the HD and such would be something I would be willing to pay...

While it is true that the 14" and the 12" screens have the same resolution, I find that the 14" is considerably easier to read. I think the 12" screen is just a wee bit sharper, but the readability...

I just replaced a clamshell ibook with a 1ghz 14" (well, a few months back). I had the clamshell since 1999 and it still runs pretty well (OS X). I'd say that's a pretty decent life for a laptop. ...

I agree, that is really is a matter of preference. I chose the 14" because I found that the 12" just felt a little small for my tastes. I thought the screen was a little harder to read (for my 43...

It's not a matter of resolution. The 12"screen is physically smaller than the 14" and in my experience harder to see. Maybe "cramped" is the wrong way to describe it, but FCP on the 12" is harder to...
