> The 12" screen will certainly be too small if you're constantly working on > the road. I had a TiBook and I loved it and passed to my wife when I bought my 17" PowerBook. I had a leather Kensington case that I got free with the TiBook. The 17 fits nicely, if snugly, in that same case. Since I carried a 1 lb. VST CD Burner with the TiBook and do not need it with the 17, the weight is the same. So I do not notice any genuine practical difference between the two as far as traveling is concerned. So buy a 17. You will not regret it at all. It is a superb machine. And the size is really not an issue. *Ursus*
