You know it doesn't change. It still comes down to looking at what you need. I would have absolutely agreed with you until January two years ago. Over the course of about a month, my eyes changed. Now my arms are just long enough to get a piece of paper to the point where my eyes can focus. Otherwise I need reading glasses. Now a computer on my lap can be just about the right distance when it's sitting on my knees. The difference between a twelve and fourteen inch screen in not inconsequential. ;)

I'm the opposite, and will ALMOST ALWAYS choose the small and light notebook over the large and heavy. In fact, if Apple made an even smaller machine than the 12" PB, without any built-in optical drive and weighing 3lbs or so, I'd buy one immediately. If it had an 11" 1024X768 screen instead of a 12" (and a correspondingly smaller and lighter case) then so much the better.

I'm surprise no one has mentioned screen size. I'm assuming the ibook has a 12" screen and I'm assuming that the pismo has a 14" screen. I can tell you that from first hand experience that for ordinary web browsing, when I'm sitting on the couch at home with our ibook on one table and the old wallstreet on another, I'll grab the wallstreet every time, just for the 14" screen. When you hit those mid 40's the eyes go, and it does make a difference. So whoever first posted this question should consider this as well.
