Hint of a 20" MBP?!

[mmmcheese]

heh 20 in is way to big. Heck I personlly think 17in laptops are to large.
I am a fan of 15 inchs. Sweet spot between being to tiny and still being very portable.

I want a 12/13" widescreen MBP with the same features as the 15" and the resolution of the most recent 17" PB. That would be my perfect machine.

Well, you just have fun with that horse of a computer. I'm sure the hour and a 1/2 battery life would be great for rendering or watching movies on the go

Don't forget to lift with your legs

i could use a good laugh today so thank you... that really made me laugh!

dude... the resolution of the most resent 17" powerbook is unbeileveable! it'd be awesome on a 12-13" macbook/macbook pro... i'd sell my powerbook (which i absolutely love) right then and there and get a new macbook.

I once had a notebook with a 15" screen (4:3) with a resolution of 1600x1200....it was the only good thing about the machine (but that's a whole other story)....but the screen was amazing. The pixels were so small, you couldn't make out individual pixels with the naked eye. I know that kind of resolution isn't for everyone because some people have worse eyes than others, but I loved it.

Only a couple more inches than the 17inch PowerBook. I wonder how big it really would be. Obviously the OP spotted a typo, but I wonder if anyone would carry a 20-inch MacBook Pro. I might, who knows.

It may "only" be another 3 inches, but that's about 40% larger. I can't see it happening.

Having said that, isn't some PC manufacturer making a 19" or 20" laptop soon? Basically it's just a portable computer; it's not actually to be used on your lap or on-the-go.

i've only seen the newest 17" PB at the Apple Store downtown once and i tried to make out the pixles and i couldn't no matter how hard i looked... it was sweet!

Yeah, I remember hearing about that a year ago or so...external battery I think. If I wanted something like that, and didn't move it much, I think I'd just get the 20" iMac.
