Now this is my first laptop but as a computer users for 15 years now (god now I feel old, and I&#8217;m only 25) I think I know what I want in a screen.<br \/>\nI don&#8217;t want to go from my desktop (which is 17 inches) which has a nice resolution and displays webpages without having to scroll horizontally, to a laptop that has something under 17 inches and my screen layouts are not what I&#8217;m used to using.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nThen there becomes the issues of portibility, can you imagine trying to take Apple&#8217;s 20-inch Cinema Display with you on the road to Starbucks or Barnes and Noble?  Will the laptop even FIT on the little coffee tables they give you to sit at<br \/>\nHow big is TOO big?  My boyfriend doesn&#8217;t like my powerbook because 1.  He thinks apple is overpriced and therefor doesn&#8217;t want their products (yet he drives a Mercedez Benz) and 2.  The screen is too big.<br \/>\n17 Inches maybe too big for him, but its JUST RIGHT for me, my mother owns a dell with a 15 inch monitor and it just hurts to look at it, 17 inches gives me more screen space to view webpages and have other programs open, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;d want anything bigger has it just becomes too big and bulky to be portable.<br \/>\nWill I even have any extra space for my drink on my tray table on my trip to Las Vegas next month if I put my laptop on it?  I hope so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dell planning a 19-inch notebook | News.blog | CNET News.com How Big is Too Big for a Laptop screen, Yesterday I got my 17 inch G4 Powerbook delivered to my doorstep.
