I have a 12" Powerbook, bought it in March. It's my first Mac and I don't regret switching at all. If I'm really taxing the computer, it'll get fairly warm, but I hardly use the computer on my lap so I don't notice unless I'm just curious as to how warm the computer is. I mostly use the computer hooked up to an external monitor and keyboard/mouse at home. And you shouldn't be worried about the size of the screen in terms of visibility, unless your eyesight is bad.
So, yeah, get the powerbook. I do suggest getting as much RAM as possible. If you've got any more questions, feel free to PM me or something.
