Lo all,

Firstly not sure if this should go in [tech] or in [ucc] but I'll stick it
here because its hardware related.

I've settled on the fact that I'm going to buy an iBook for myself, either
way I go I'd get 512M of Ram, a 60GB HDD and a combo drive as opposed to
the superdrive. The only thing I have left to decide is what screen size
to get. I know the 12" is pretty popular around UCC so I've seen that in
action, I dont think I've seen the 14" in action.

The price difference between 12 and 14 is about $210. I also know the 14
has a slightly higher clock speed. The two questions I have, whats the
weight like on the 14" (considering I'll be lugging it around with my uni
stuff) and do people think its worth paying the extra money for the larger
screen?

Thanks all
-Frenchie
