Solid!

Just do it. You will not be sorry! The new screen size alone is awesome.

I don't find this one delicate like I did my TiBook 500. I was always 
so careful and gentle with the 500. The 17" feels like it won't 
scratch as easily. The whole computer feels solid and no flexing when 
lifting.

I am currently using the 17" as my desktop and laptop. My TiBook 500 
proudly sits next to her big brother on the desk.
