My CTX AMD K6-300/128 MB RAM/3 GB drive laptop is obviously at the end of its life. I was in the "shopping" process for a laptop for 2 months now, and I considered a number of PC laptops, including the Compaq Presario 1525US. At the end, I decided to get the new 12" Powerbook, came in last week, and I am since then using it as my primary machine. Here is what I think about it.

I can't speak about the 12" display myself too much as I have just seen it in the Apple store here in NY. However my friend (who is a partner in a PC store in Staten Island, went with me to the store because he is planning to buy the 12" Powerbook. He thought that the display was fine. He also thought that the cursor movement was too FAST at the preset speed (all the way up), and when I reset it to midway, he was satisfied.
As far as the 20" is concerned, I don't know what you are talking about, as it has been very well received in the professional photo. and graphics arts community, in which I work. The display seems to be felt as being better than the 22", which is very popular.
People seem to "hear" things which aren't always true. That's why the rumors sites are popular.
There is a good reason why different resolutions are used on different sized screens. I've seen the 1600x1200 16" screens, and except for a few purposes, the screens are too small for the resolutions used. Good for bragging, but too hard on the eyes for most uses, especially since changing the resolution is not really a good option. It used to be that 1024x768 was used for 17" screens.
