17 is too big, and bulky.. It defeats the purpose of portability..

that's what everyone keeps telling me. jox and i were in the same position of having to decide last week. i'm glad to see that he seems pleased with his decision!

Read a lot of complaints about the quality of the screens; screen lines / lighter / darker pixels rows after every 3rd row. True?

its supposed to be a higher res screen. I got one, it great but the screen does look a bit weird when I look up close compared to my imac at work. I can see the pixels they make up the screen quite clearly. I didnt have that on m y old powerbook. But then it was a lower res screen. Cant figure out if its a problem or not? Still happy with it though.

just wondering -
did you get the standard config from Apple? Or add more?
( -or add from a 3rd party and install yourself?)

Did not buy any yet because I heard a lot about the 'screen lines'. I checked it out at my local applestore; it is really visible to me. Not when just browsing & chatting but graphics... damn..

I just got one. It's brighter, the extra pixels are great, and I see none of this "screen line" nonsense.

i don't know why everyone keeps saying the 17" is too bulky. it's just fine... 2" isn't THAT big of a difference when it comes to space, but it makes a world of difference in screen real estate.
i just bought mine 2 weeks ago (17") and i love it!
also, if you plan on doing any client presenations, etc. - the 17" is perfect

Well I think that.........ok, i have nothing to say...... I'm stuck with a 16 inch piece of shit by toshiba that has been sent to toronto for repairs 8 times and tomorrow morning it'll be the 9th.
I envy all of you. i truly do.:o(

It *is* the cam. You'll get the same effect if you take a digital photo in macro mode of any LCD screen.

Checked it out at the store; looks exactly the same. It's just... crap.

They must be building these new PBs with different displays because I don't see that in mine at all.
- paolosan0
thats good news.. just read not all of them have it, depending on where they were fabricated..

lines are no nonsens. Here somebody just bought a 15", and yes, it got the lines. If u use the laptop screen as main screen for graphic design, wait for new (intel?)macs to come out. It should be 1/2 of the macs who've got the problem.
