Re: [PhillyOnRails] MacBook Choices


I am in agreement with the 17" being too big. I have the 15" maxed out, and
when I seen the release with the 17" being almost identical, I was still
pleased with it. My brother has the 17" powerbook, and it's huge. To throw
it in your backpack and bicycle downtown would be a _choice_ with the 17",
with the 15" it's not really a decision :)
