I'm using a 12 inch iBook (G4) and I love it. I have no difficulty with reading ANYTHING. I use Word and Photoshop on it and it's just fine. Now, some people will complain.....but this iBook is fast and very portable. I use it more than my desktop. My wife just replace her old 12 inch powerbook with a 14 inch iBook because she didn't like having to use her reading glasses....but she used the powerbook for over 2 years. 12 inch display is just fine. Now my 20 inch G5 iMac is really enjoyable, but I can't pick it up and carry it around with me.
