I don't think a 17" laptop is pratical, you have to draw the line between speed and portibility.

Well, I guess if you feel that way this isn't the product for you. but I personally don't feel that 2 inches more diagonally (maybe 1 on each side in width- if that) would qualify as a huge change in carrying size while it is the same thickness and relatively the same weight. What's all this constant "it's too big" from many people? It's probably no bigger than the 14.2 inch iBook (with huge boarder). Oh here's some statistical comparison:
- iBook G4 (14.2")
Width: 12.7 "
Depth: 10.2 "
Thickness: 1.35 "
- MacBook Pro (17")
Width: 15.4 " Difference: 2.7"
Depth: 10.4 " Difference: 0.2"
Thickness: 1 " Difference: -0.35"
That's to a 14" iBook G4. The MacBook Pro 15" is quite close. Calling this thing unmanageable or too big is ridiculous.

Ever tried to open a 15 inch laptop on coach class airline seat?
Shade ABSOLUTELY has a point, if thats your mode of travel.
I can barely open mine on Southwest,
and would be completely impossible to work on a 17" on that same flight.
Not to mention the heat that thing puts out if you WERENT on a flight and just had it sitting in your lap.
My 15" gets ridiculously hot..and almost discourages me from using it, unless i can set it somewhere..other than ON me.
So really, it all depends on your mode of travel,
how often, and for how long...as to whats ridiculous or not.

I prefer the 17" model to anything else...no matter what the discomfort or space limitations. Probably because I'm getting older and need the bigger display but hey, you younger guys go for those tiny screens while you can!

Thats true shade / shiex, but it all depends on your needs. For some folks its a case of having a desktop computer that they can move... a 17inch laptop that doubles as a desktop that can just be picked up and taken to the office etc...
Then again i've used my 12inch PB on the train in the UK and well anything bigger would have been inpossible. I can only sit in the Disabled priority seats and sharing that space with anything more than a very small laptop ain't gonna happen!!

If laptop at all I go only with a 12' or 13' widescreen. Anything else is too big for my taste. It shouldn't be bigger than a normal college block(A4). This is the size I consider portable. It shouldn't be in my way and should get into my backpack easily. Whenever I see Elandrion with his 15' I think no that's not what I want to cary with me every day to university.
Further battery life is also much longer. However I think the size of your laptop depends on your need, and every size has its right to exist.
Bye,

I'd rather got with a 15" then 12" or 17".
You get usually get good performance, and it's not to big, and not small either.
But a 13-14" would work as well, I guess.

Rumor sites are reporting the new Intel MacBooks (ibooks) are being released on tuesday.
"An anonymous source claims that Apple stores are receiving materials for a new window display that's labeled "do not open until Tuesday, May 9th." The source also claims that Apple has directed its stores to push iBook sales this weekend, presumably to clear out inventory."

I still bet on Intel Integrated on low end and X1300-1500 on higher end. 13 across the line, with all duos to match.
