You can order a 12 with a larger hard drive and I don't think that I
would notice any difference between 1.2GHz and 1.33Ghz.

Of course they do, but people will have issues with basically

12 was the big-size in 1997, and remains a comfortable size for a laptop
screen. 14 or larger is great for extended viewing or poor eyesight.
What really matters is resolution, with 1024X768 being the minimum useful

How could a one inch slab of plastic alongside the keys be useful. My Pismo

advantages to the Pismo are that the screen is higher and the text is
larger. For touch typing, the 12 PowerBook is actually a far more
