Now now , MrDEE - the 17"PowerBook is not always the BEST as you put it! The 17" PBook has some awesome attributes, but for many it just too big to be a portable machine! If mobility is of primary importance, the 17" PBook may not do you right. The 15" Pbook, on the other hand, offers the same hardware configuration with an awesome display that will fit into most any carrying case and will sit comfortably on your lap. I was at the airport the other day and saw a fellow working on a 17" PBook and he was having a LOT of trouble stabilizing it on his lap while he worked. If he had anything plugged into the ports it would have been even more difficuly! The 17" is mobile but it is really designed as a replacement for a desktop mac and should spend most of it's life sitting on your desk/workbench/console and not on your lap.
As far as it being the best - well, all the PBooks are the best, including the 12" They all come with fantastic options, they all have super-fast G4 CPU's. The 12" has some differences (no PC Card slot, Mini-DVI, no backlit keyboard) but they are negligble. The 15" and 17" are about the same with the display being the primary difference. The real question a person should be asking when diving into Digital Audio and HD recording is not whether they should buy a PC or a Mac; the question should be "Which MAC is going to best suit my needs & budget?" Again, I get kinda weird about PowerBooks and PowerMacs. -------------------- lushbudget productions, ltd.
