Hi: I am considering my next Power Book purchase and am thinking about going to the 17" model. It is really a contest between the upper-level 15" or the 17".
Could anyone out there who uses a 17" or has experience with both machines send me an email on or off list with their personal opinion on what was best for them and why? Some information about my situation: 1. I am currently using a Ti PB 400 Mhz which is getting slower and is subject to some wear and tear; 2. I use Adobe and Macromedia projects and am getting into iMovie and may, in the next few years, be thinking "Final Cut Pro"; 3. I take my Mac EVERYWHERE including to work, overseas, on trips, etc--long battery life and durability is important to me; 5. I am debating whether an extra 2" of screen is worth the price differential; 6. I am not at all motivated by "having the latest technology" or "what other people think"--I want a good, durable machine which will take me through the next 3-4 years. 7. I work at a university and am therefore eligible for academic price. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.
