My apologies. It's 15.4"x10.2", to be exact.

wtf.
i didn't know they measured them diagonally.
that's like women having their own clothing size so nobody really understands how fat they are.

It's not like this is a new Apple innovation. That's how screens are measured. Have you ever bought a TV? Or a monitor? I'd look into it. You'll find it's a pretty amazing world out there.

you don't have to be a tardass about it.
i'd never heard of that system, and i never bagged on apple for using it.
so back the fuck off.

It wasn't a personal attack, just stating that every screen is measured that way. It's the issue of conversing on the internet - tone never, ever comes through. I think it's odd that you majored in graphic design and don't know how screens are measured, you think I'm a "tardass" for calling you on not knowing it after you came at me like I didn't know what I was talking about regarding dimensions of my machine. Regardless, we've both gotten completely off-topic for this poor individual who just needed advice on his new laptop. Worthless for both of us.

I love mine, but the only thing I'm concerned about is the ram issue. I can't afford to buy computers that often. I got mine with the maximum 1 gigabyte and that is more than enough ram right now, but how much will that be in three years. How much ram was enough three years ago?

G5 = more power. Im also really sick of sitting in one place, indoors, in crummy offices. Man it sounds good to sit out in the sun away from people to use my computer and work.

Bryant Park is a nice place to get some work done in the Summer. God, I miss summer. Memorial Day is coming soon, right?

My main computer is a 12" Powerbook with an external Screen. It works fine. And yout have the pure mobility with it.
