Which one do you recommend?
I hear about so many bugs coming from Powerbooks, but are iBooks any better?
i am thinking either 12inch or 15inch.
What is best?

nice thing about pBooks is that you can run an extra monitor. Also, look and feel cooler.
iBooks are cheap, good value.
i use a 12" pBook, because i am a coder. i'd say that the 15" is better for graphics apps and flash. 12" screen is too small to see all of the pallettes otherwise.TR1

The PB comes with a *much* better screen and there is quite a difference in speed - if you're doing some serious work on it, go PB.
