12" vs. 15" powerbook, help me choose please.

Here's my deal. I'm an advertising creative who uses a computer daily for graphics intensive work. I have a good mac at (usually a high end powermac) at work that I can do my "tough" work on, so I'm looking to get a powerbook at home. I have an ibook G3 that does what I need it to, just not well (I can run PS, etc on it occassoinally).
I LOVE the size and carry-ability of my 12" ibook, so my first inclination is to jump up to a 12" powerbook. But I'm afraid that I'll feel it wasn't worth the money and that maybe a 15" would be more worthwhile. Either way, I'll probably max it out on memory. I intend to get either a 20" or 24" Dell monitor to match to it eventually.
Can anyone shed some light? Just how much faster is the 15" vs. the 12"? My friend has a 15" and it always looks huge to me. Given that I'll have access to a powerful desktop at work, can anyone help with my decision?

"I am thinking about doing exactly what you have set up. Buying a 12 inch Powerbook and a 20 inch cinema display. How is the quality and ease of use. Could you go into a little more detail, pros and cons of using those together. Thanks!"
This is what I've been doing for the past year - 12" Powerbook with a 20" Cinema Display - and I LOVE it!
For me, the need to have a laptop that was really portable outweighed the need for screen real-estate on the road, which is why I went with a 12" instead of a 15" Powerbook. But when I need the extra screen space, I hook it up to that gorgeous ACD, and I'm set!
With the Powerbook, you have the option of using it closed and just using the External Display...Using it open in Mirror-mode...or using it open and using it as an extension of the desk top space. Each display has it's own preference panel, so you can use the external display at a higher resolution than the Powerbook - It WON'T be just a stretched out version of the Powerbook resolution.

  • Help me choose a 865PE board

    Hi,
    I need some help in choosing the best(most feature packed, fast etc.) MSI 865PE motherboard.
    There are two boards that are pretty identical and trying to find the difference between them has been difficult. They are the Neo2-FIS2R and Neo2-PFISR.
    Which one of these two should I buy? They cost about the same. What are the major differences between them?
    Please help me in choosing.
    Thanks!

    The faster Prescott's are no longer shown, so maybe they are being re-spec'd again.
    Great, I did see this link earlier but I'm confused by several things and please excuse my ignorance but I have been out of the Hardware scene for 4-5 months which is a long time in hight tech.
    First thing on this table that I see on the P version is "P4EE Support" what is this? and why does the first table not support it?
    On the first table it had a column "PCB Ver." what is this and where can it be found on my computer or Mobo?
    So from looking at this link then I can safely say that I can buy a prescott CPU and it will run fine on my neo2 FIS2R?
    faster Prescott's, so are there variations in the CPU and will my board be able to handle the faster ones?
    Sorry about all the questions but if I can get answers to these then it would be extremely helpful.

    UPDATED:
    I do find these two tables very confusing and there is little explanation, To me the first table is saying that all the boards only support P4's and not prescott? the second table is saying that only the Extreme Edition supports prescott?
    but the second table also lists the FIS2R etc so its all very confusing????

  • Need help with choosing a 6 cell and 9 cell battery (mo06, mo09)

    Hey hi all,
    I have a pavilion m6 series notebook which comes with mo06(6 cell) battery by default.

  • Help With Choosing The Technology

    Hello,
    I need help in choosing the appropriate technology for the application that I'm going to be creating.
    The characteristics of the system that have been decided until now:
    Standalone app built on either Flex/Flash/AIR
    Restricted to using the system on a single computer, hence can be a tightly coupled system
    The server component of the system needs to be closed source and robust, for which im thinking something like a Java backend,etc,etc.
    In a completely new environment, all that i need to be able to do is install just the AIR application and not worry about installing extra stuff for the server support.
    Thanks In Advance for anyone who can help me out with this.

    If you are saying you want the server component to be on the same machine as the Flex app, then your choices are severely limited due to the sandbox, unless of course you are using AIR, then you can just use the SQLite database.
    But if there will be a sevrer component on another machine on the web, you could use BlazeDS, and like I said, its free and very robust.

  • Help with message please:  Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line

    I would really appreciate some help with my search & results page that is now throwing up the following error:
    Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line (the line number refers to the following code:
    mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4);
    I am new to php and am setting up a dynamic site in Dreamweaver (thanks to the Missing Manual – very helpful). I apologise in advanced for my lengthy description of the problem (perhaps get yourself a drink before continuing!)
    I have a Search page with 4 list menus where the user can select an option from ANY or ALL of the menus, if a menu is not selected the value posted to the results page will be 'zzz'.
    On the results page I have 4 recordsets, all getting the correct results, only one recordset is required to run depending on how many of the menus from the search page have been selected and a test is run before executing the sql using a SWITCH statement checking how many of the menus had passed the 'zzz' values from the Search page if you see what I mean. The results page  has Repeating Regions, Recordset Paging and Display Record Count. The exact result that I require are generated by this method.
    THE PROBLEM, when a user makes a selection the first page of 10 results is fine, but the error message above is shown at the bottom of the page, AND when the user clicks NEXT to go to the next page of results THERE ARE NO RESULTS.
    This is exactly what happens depending on how many menus selected and which recordset is used:
    4 menus selected from Search: runs RSsearchforsale, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct results found. NEXT page is empty of results and still shows the correct display record count as if it should be displaying the records, also has the same 3 error messages.
    3 menus selected from Search:  runs RsSearchForSale2, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct number of results. NEXT page shows results from the  DEFAULT setting of the recordset and the Display record count reflects this new set of results. Also still shows the 3 mysql_free_results for RsSearchForSale2, 3 and 4.
    2 menus selected from Search: runs   RsSearchForSale3, results correct but 2 error messages on 1st page relating to  mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale) & mysql_free_result (RsSearchForSale4). The display record count is correct. NEXT page does exactly the same as described in above 3 menus selected.
    1 menu selected from search: runs RsSearchForSale4, results correct but 1 error meaasge on 1st page, mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale). Display record count is correct and again when NEXT page is selected does as described in above where 2 or 3 menus selected.
    If you have gotten this far without falling asleep then thank you and well done! I have pasted my code below and I know its a lot to ask but please please can you give me an idea as to where or why I have gone wrong. I felt I was so close at perfecting this search and have been working on it for weeks now. I feel sure the problem is because I have 4 recordsets on the page but I could find no other way to get the exact results I wanted from the menus.
    Looking forward to any help.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your reply and patience, we are getting closer in spite of me!
    Of course i needed to change the name of the recordset, i did that the first time i did it (when i got the error), the when i re did it i forgot, in my defense i was also trying to get a full understanding of the code using the W3Schools php reference and writing by the side of the code on a piece of paper what it meant in English.
    Anyway after re doing the code correctly it still displayed all the records of my database but i realised that was because i was POSTING from the search form and when i changed it to the GET method I now get results when all 4  list menus are selected from and the paging works. After reading about the POST / GET method i chose the POST option, is the GET method a better option in my circumstance?
    On my site now if the user selects from 1,2 or 3 of the menus rather than selecting the relevant records it displays the NO RESULT page, I would like my users to be able to select from all of the menus or ANY combination of the menus and find exact results for their search, for example if they only select a location and a price i want it display all records that match that location and price with any number of bedrooms and any Type of property: Perhaps this is due to how my list menus are set up, for each menu the first Item label is Location (or Beds or Type or Price) and the value i have left blank which i believe means that it will use the item label as the value, the second Item label for all menus is Any and again the value has been left blank. All other item labels have values relevant to database records.  
    I do look forward to your reply and cannot thank you enough for following this through with me, please continue to bare with me just a little more,
    best regards

    You're not adding the WHERE clause to the SQL query. My example code uses $query_search. You need to change that variable to match the name of your recordset, i.e. $query_RSsearchforsale.
    Moreover, the WHERE clause needs to go before ORDER BY.
    $query_RSsearchforsale = "SELECT trueprice,`desc`, `propid`, `bathrooms`, `location`, `type`, `price`, `beds`, `photo1`, locationtable.loc, typetable.style, bedtable.`number` FROM detailstable JOIN locationtable ON detailstable.location=locationtable.locid JOIN typetable ON detailstable.type=typetable.typeid JOIN pricetable ON detailstable.price=pricetable.priceid JOIN bedtable ON detailstable.beds=bedtable.bedid ";
    // Set a flag to indicate whether the query has a WHERE clause
    $where = false;
    // Loop through the associatiave array of expected search values
    foreach ($expected as $var => $type) {
      if (isset($_GET[$var])) {
        $value = trim(urldecode($_GET[$var]));
        if (!empty($value)) {
          // Check if the value begins with > or <
          // If so, use it as the operator, and extract the value
          if ($value[0] == '>' || $value[0] == '<') {
            $operator = $value[0];
            $value = ltrim(substr($value, 1));
          } elseif (strtolower($type) != 'like') {
            $operator = '=';
          // Check if the WHERE clause has been added yet
          if ($where) {
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' AND ';
          } else {
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' WHERE ';
            $where = true;
          // Build the SQL query using the right operator and data type
          $type = strtolower($type);
          switch($type) {
            case 'like':
              $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` LIKE " . GetSQLValueString('%' .
    $value . '%', "text");
              break;
            case 'int':
            case 'double':
            case 'date':
              $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` $operator " .
    GetSQLValueString($value, "$type");
              break;
            default:
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` = " . GetSQLValueString($value,
    "$type");
    $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' ORDER BY detailstable.trueprice ASC';

  • Help me choose a Macbook Pro

    Hey everyone, I need some help in choosing which Macbook Pro is right for me.
    Basically I'm wondering which of these 2 would be a better choice.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MTEzMjIzODU
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MTEzMjIzODU
    What are the main differences?
    4gb of ram should be sufficient and I doubt I would ever upgrade to 8gb.
    as for graphics, I would mostly only need a mac that would allow me to play the latest Sims games. the first has a graphics memory of 512 and the second has 256.
    Thanks in advance.

    Please help me! My MacBook was stolen along with an external hard drive that had all my photos of my children on them. I hadn't backed to iCloud or backed anywhere else. I am distraught. No find my mac either...help...please... Some programmes are still running like drop of and Skype... Is it all over?!?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

  • HELP!! Please - Connecting a nano to an old PC

    My parents have bought my little sister an iPod nano for Christmas. However their computer runs Windows Millenium Edition and when I tried to download and install iTunes for her to put music on her iPod I got an error message saying that iTunes only works on Windows 2000 or XP.
    I use a Mac and could put some songs on her iPod from my iTunes library for the time being but I will be leaving after Christmas so she won't have any way to store or update the music.
    Does anyone know a way round this? Is there an old version of iTunes that I can install on a Millenium edition computer. My sister is devastated and my parents are furious that no-one suggested to them that the nano might not just plug and play with their computer.
    Help!! Please!
    iPod Nano   Windows ME  

    Thanks, it looks like some of the other software might do the job. I'll download the free trials and see if I can get one of them working. If it does then I'll have to buy the software for her. I wasn't aware that iPods worked with anything other than iTunes.
    My parents are not particularly technically aware - they have a computer with a broadband connection which as far as they were concerned, was all that was needed to use an iPod and download songs. At no point did any saleperson ask them anything about operating systems. They didn't even ask if they had an internet connection to download iTunes. However, this is more of an issue with the customer service of the shop that sold it to them, rather than Apple.
    So, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.
