Quick overivew:
Currently use my 12" Powerbook for everything since over the summer I had limited space and couldn't use my PC desktop in my apartment. I got used to it. A little to used to it.
My friend wants to buy my 12" Powerbook (1.5 years old) for $1,100. I have enough saved to get a brand new Powerbook with a Superdrive (old one just had combo). However, if I sold my PC I could get a 15" fully loaded with 128 megs of Video Ram and a Superdrive.
My complications are such:
- I love the portability of the 12" I'm on my bed with this on my lap as I type this. I take it everywhere I go. Everywhere. Could I get the same portability with the 15"?
- I do a lot of image editing so the extra screen size would be nice for Photoshop. I do a little gaming, primarily Homeworld 2 and some random FPS. Would the 128meg Radeon 9700 really make these apps scream as much as I think it would?
I can get buy great with the 12" and my desktop PC. I could also probably get along great with just one 15" Powerbook.
What would you guys do if you were in my situation?
