Hello everyone -
I've decided to buy a new powerbook g4, because I am a filmmaking student and I want to be able to edit on my own system, but I also need a portable (and I want the system asap, so I'm not going to wait until Intel powerbooks).
I'm having a really hard time deciding between the new 15" and the 17" though (w/ same internal specs - 1.67, 2 gb, 100 gig 7200). Is there anyone out there who uses FCP with a 17" pb and believes that the extra space is actually worth the extra 300 dollars (and size)? I am really not into ostentation, so the "wow" factor is even almost a negative for me, but the extra screen space might be the deciding factor. Alternately, has anyone edited on a 15", but deep-down wished they had the extra screen? Thanks!
