I saw the same rumours and that would be ideal but probably very pricy. I think I could cope with a 13" screen as I was amazed how quickly I adapted to my iPad's screen, which I have only had for a couple of weeks. I've just been checking out some 15" inch MacBook Pros on eBay and might go with that as an interim measure. After the PowerBook an Intel Core 2 Duo machine will seem refreshingly quick. Some 2009 models are going for about £400, and that would work out just fine - even if there is a little voice in my head saying a nice, shiny, new model would be soooo good.
