I'll take easier on the back and shoulders carrying it around,
personally! But I guess some people leave them parked more than me...

I would love to see a 13.3 low- and wide-screen iBook with a 1280x800
resolution. Played around with a Sony Vaio with that screen in a
computer
found the 14 easier to read than the 12. Also, taking
advantage of the extra size, the battery is larger so battery life is
significantly improved.
Why can't they make iBooks display any higher resolutions, anyways?
Apple can - but keeping the iBook at 1024x768 is a way of differentiating
in an iBook 12.

Because then they would be PowerBooks. Apple runs a fine line
between putting enough features in the iBook line and not encroaching
on the PowerBook line.

the 12 line.
Which is why
The expense is not going to be that high, since Apple can mass
produce. As I said before, I'd pay extra just to have a BTO for the
features I need. What would be nice is dual expansion bays and ports
on the back. Not asking for too much, is it? With today's
