If you have a 17" PowerBook G4 or a 17" MacBook Pro (non-uni and unibody),
post those big laptops here.
I will get started with my PB:

My grandma's Dell:
attachment.php

Taken with a camera phone because I did not have a real camera with me at the time
It looks about twice as big as my 15 inch PB

I want one too, the above is my dad's. He flipped out when he caught me fiddling with it.

Your picture is broken

oh my gosh, that pic reminds me that, unlike apple, other computer companies do not have a design studio.
What are all those buttons for?
The processor might make up for the case and the design.
I have gotten so used to Apple laptops and computers that have a nice professional design, but I don't buy macs mainly for their design.
You need to make it a Hackintosh, if you haven't done so already.

BTW: I (sorta kinda) like the screen.

That thing is ugly. At least it does not have a numeric keypad to make the keyboard and trackpad off center.

We took off the stickers, don't worry. It actually looks awesome in person but Dad lets it get smudged and dusty.

I will be "inheriting" it in a month or so, though.

Actually, it's just mouse buttons, speakers, and a volume wheel. Again, it looks great without the stickers.

Dude, do you even have to ask. It runs at 2.93 Flabbyhurtz.

Not only that, but it can be overclocked to 3.32 Flabbyhurtz and beyond * with the "McDonalds" overclocking program or the "Krispy Kreme" program.
It is best to use the KK program 12 times ;)

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, is it a dual core, single core, or a quad core?

* Tests have proven to show that speeds above 4.8 Flabbyhurtz makes the system very unstable.
