12' Powerbook

[Wilson Ng]

The 12" screen will certainly be too small if you're constantly working on
the road.

Anytime I have to use a program that requires massive screen real estate, I
usually hook up my 12" PB to a 21" monitor. It's the only way I can work
effectively.

This means I am tethered to the desktop with the monitor whenever I have to
use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Canvas or any program that requires screen real
estate.

I use the 12" screen for tool palettes and the 21" monitor for main work.

If you have to do a lot of work on the road with the programs you've
mentioned, then wait for the 15".

Otherwise, the 12" screen works as a secondary monitor to hold tool
palettes.
