MacBook Pro C2D: one regret

[Abstract]

What a pile of rubbish...

But good for a laugh......har har.

1680x1050 on a 15inch widescreen would be fine IMO, but 1920x1200 would just be silly. Even on a 17inch, for anything other than games it would just involve endless squinting of large font sizes.

My other notebook is a Core Duo 2GHz Acer Travelmate 8204, with a 1680x1050 resolution in a 15.4" screen. I have 20/20, and even that resolution makes type a little small at times! That's the upper limit that I'd be comfortable using on this size screen, and for the most part, the resolution on my MBP seems just right, for me! However, YMMV!

Exactly. Well.......until that resolution independence tech enters our Mac-filled lives in a few months (hopefully). Otherwise, you're right. I'd have to squint to see things if the res was higher on a 15" screen.

it's called flatulence, lest you can't smell it yourself everyone can tell a fanboi from a mile away.

Trying a bit hard to be too anti-fanboy, are we?

Simma down. The man is right anyway (this time).

I'm just wondering if 1440x900 isn't too high a resolution for a 15" screen...

good point. 18x14 would be a lot better, and really reduce the old eye strain.

Find it hard to dispute the fact?

Which part of "X1600 Pro is a poor GPU in 2007" and "1440 X 900 is smaller than the other Dell's resolution" do you fail to grasp?

The extra .7" thickness, 1.7" depth, 1.4" width, and 2.1lbs weight to keep that GPU cool part.

Then you will find Pentium(tm) and IIG most savory

Yes, or I could buy a MacBook Pro, since those dimensions were the exact difference between the Dell we're talking about, and the Mac.

Here we go again.........

Move along, Dell Troll ....... (BTW, are 207 troll posts in 8 days a record in this forum?)
