If you have to carry it a lot, especially while out and about, size and weight might be a factor. But the 17" 'Books are a lot more portable than older versions. If bag size is a factor, you obviously don't need a 17" 'Book.
But if you want a 17, size and weight shouldn't be a real consideration.
Money might be.
Are the current 17" Macbook Pro's lighter and/or easier to carry than the 17" Powerbook G4? I had that machine, but went to the 15" MBP when it came out as for me, the 17" G4 was too unwieldy. I would like to get a machine that has a processor better than a Core Duo.
