Thank you for the info about the memory ceiling, I did not know the "12 books had a lower memory limit then the "15, that actually effects my opinion. Over here in the UK the "15 models seem to hold a better price, probably because of the larger screen and memory. The reason I was attracted to the "12 book's was because they are smaller form factor, so easier to thrown in a bag and not worry about. I've currently found myself in possession of an Ibook G3 800mhz, which is pretty much the same size as the PB as i understand it. I have to say I like the case/LCD size, the resolution is pretty satisfactory for writing, the LCD panel blows the water out of my Pismo. But the latter with it's Xlr8 G4 550mhz is just that little bit smoother.
I wouldn't compare the Macbook with the Powerbook as they are different platforms and the intel's will be faster hands down. I'm only weighing up the pro's and con's both have to me and the use intended.
Again it's been very helpful sounding my thoughts on here and getting the input from people who actually have the benefit of owning the systems I'm looking at :-D
