Hello,
I am a little bit confused. I want to buy a Powerbook and have an eye for 2 models. These are the 12" with 1,33 G and the older 15" with 1 GHz, which I've seen for the same price as the 12" one. I need the Powerbook for live performances and also for homerecording. I think the smaller one is better for live things but the 15" better for recording. Which one would you prefer?  Best regards |

In my opinion, you are paying for mobility in a laptop, so make the most of it. Get the compact laptop, you will appreciate its size when you actually need to be mobile. If you can't afford a desktop computer for at home, and need your laptop to double as your desktop, then pick up an external monitor for your laptop. If you can't afford that -- well, save your pennies.
 Your eyes will thank you later.On the other hand... having a bunch of stuff squished up on your little 12" screen might be frustrating in a live performance situation... but I've never done that so only guessing.
