Re: Screen size and iBooks (was Re: New PowerBooks)0
All depends on the work you do and the quality of your eyes. Its the same issue with my 12 PowerBook. I zoom my word docs to 140% and usually magnify web pages, but I still wouldn't trade it for 800X600 which would have a similar effect, but force me to use horizontal scrolling on most websites. High resolution screens don't give much benefit for working in Word or on the web, but for graphics or movies they really are nice.

Re: Screen size and iBooks (was Re: New PowerBooks)0
Why get a larger one? More processing power than the 12 model? a laptop that I don't have to crouch in on my lap in order to keep it from falling off?

There are reasons for the larger screen at the same resolution, the most important being that it is easier on the eyes. My 12 PoewrBook and 14 Lombard have the same 1024X768 resolution (I think the Lombard uses the same screen as the 14 iBook), and while the available real estate is exactly the same, the 14 is a lot nicer when working at a desk or reading text. On the 12, I end up zooming the text on most websites and usually have my word documents set to 140% magnification (plenty of real estate for that), and end up with nice, readable text. On the 14 I do the same, mainly out of habit, and end up with giant-size text that is a pleasure to read, but looks freakishly large. The 12 is definitely adequate, but the 14 is just a lot more relaxing. Of course, the price is bulk. Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
