Something else to consider...
How portable do you need/want to be? If portability is a strong requirement, that would mean 15.4" screen If it's not, then I would strongly look at some 17" laptops. Especially if you're use to a larger monitor on your desktop. I love my cheapo laptop, it's come in very handy. I just know if I was going to buy another one I would get a 17" screen. |

I actually loved my 12" Powerbook, but Apple decided to abandon that form factor when they made the move to Intel chips. It was a one of the lightest,most enjoyable books I've had. A joy to use on a plane or in cramped boarding areas.
I agree that the 17-inchers are very impressive and I'd certainly go for one of those as a replacement for a desktop if true portability wasn't much of a factor. Some of the newer 17 laptops have very impressive specs for use as a gaming platform, that certainly something that was never a possibility even three years ago. |
