    I don't understand why they didn't upgrade the 13" screens to the hi-res ones they put in the new Air. I used to have a 13" MacBook and the screen size sucked bad for doing any real work without an external monitor.

    I am considering getting an Air as my main machine, once the Air gets the first upgrade. But even now, maxed out at 2.16GHz + 256GB SSD it would be already faster than my old 17" Pro, even with only 4GB RAM. And it would be portable for a change.

    • doesnt it not matter at all since a 13" monitor cant see all 16million colours?epill
    • i was under the idea that it is 15" n up that allows dpi to showcase the 16mil. not 13"epill
    • so if it cant see the true colour, why would it make any difference if it only show 256?epill
    • hence the need for the external monitor.epill
    • I didn't mention colours, wouldn't expect any laptop to have accurate. It's resolution I care about.raf
    • I use my laptop with external monitor over 95% of the time anyway.raf
