I am interested in getting the new ibook 700 and will be using it for many different things, but am most curious about gaming. How does it work with the 12" screen? I will be getting Baldurs Gate 2 and Icewind Dale and some FPS and wonder if the screen is to small? or is it fine for these games. How about the 2x agp 16mb radeon card? Anyone with a 12"ibook chime in about their gaming experiences and how you think the new machine will do.

    My only input is this: I played Civ 3 on a 12.1" iBook and it was impossible to play due to the lilliputian size of every icon & bit of text in the entire game, because of the resolution/size of the display.



    Yes, I do wear glasses, and yes, they are for near-sightedness, but still.



    Still saving for my Ti...

    you do now that the iBook supports resolution scaling right?



    it should have switched to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600

    Yes but in this resolutions the quality of image is poor at least on my powerbook G3 300.
