[Ti] New PowerBook Decisions

[Bob Bergey]

I'm about to finally upgrade from my four year old TiBook/400 to a 
brand new PowerBook. I was pretty much all set to go with the 15 inch 
1.67gHz model, and will still probably go that route (with 1GB RAM 
and 100MB drive). But I'm having last minute second thoughts that 
maybe I should consider the 17 inch PowerBook instead. I'd really 
appreciate input from anyone who made that same decision and how they 
feel about it after the fact.

I travel all the time (mostly by motorcoach -- I'm a driver, but fly 
sometimes, too), and my laptop always goes with me. The 15 inch would 
be easier to lug along, and I wouldn't have to get a new case. On the 
other hand, I do Web design, some DTP (but not that much), a lot of 
digital photography and Photoshop work, and the larger monitor would 
be very nice. I rarely if ever use a second monitor, but that could 
be a possibility, too, down the road.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.
