Which one do you prefer?

Maybe it is me, but the 15 inch screen seems brighter to me? The 17 inch seems not as sharp?

anyway, which one do you prefer?

I would love to have the superdrive built in, but at the same time, everytime I go to look at them, the 15inch shape just looks more appealing.

But the iDVD is appleaing too.

I hate not to have a choice, and yes I know I can put one in, but that sounds a bit annoying.

The $2500 15" has a superdrive and backlit keyboard.

Backlit keyboard and superdrive can also be BTOed into the $1999 15"

Err, this is the iMac/eMac forum, therefore I would think he was talking about iMacs, not powerbooks.

get the 15.... just looks like it is made better, not to mention you can get a faster external drive later...

you can't use iDVD, but there are other programs out there.

Buy the one you like better, than upgrade as you go.

ROFL

oops. I guess I was on cruise control.

I prefer the 15" shape myself. It's sexy.. the 17" one isn't so cute but it has a much sharper screen.
Aloha
