Most people would. I prefer the 14" screen of my Pismo over the 12" screen of my AlBook, but not enough to fuss with the extra size and weight. I used to carry around 7lb full-sized laptops everywhere I went, and didn't know how bad it was only because I didn't know that there was a better way. Even my 12" PowerBook feels bulky now, though I suspect that the 3lb 11" screen toshiba Portege I used to carry (still do when I want to go really light) has a lot to do with that.
I know that if Apple ever came out with an updated PowerBook 2400c I'd rush out and buy one. That is my dream machine, G4 at 1.5GHz (though a slower chip would not bother me in the interest of reducing power comsuption and heat), a 10.4 or 11.3" screen at 1024X768, though the current 12.1" would be even better if they could reduce the size of the surrounding bezel. Finally, leave the optical drive OUT OF THE CHASIS and make the whole thing weigh 3lbs or less. I'd pay current 12" AlBook prices for such a machine, and I'd wager a lot of other people would too (though probably very few on this list).
