Now I know how everyone freaked out when they heard about the max screen tilt on the MacBook. But now since a lot of people have received them, does it really interfere and frusturate you????

I've seen it at the apple store, it is very uncomfortable for me to use it just for 5 minutes.

But you are standing up aren't you. What if you are just sitting and using it at your desk??

Yeah, good point, but when I use my powerbook i usually use it when I'm standing up because I carry it around everywhere and it's comfortable for me.

I'm still waiting for my macbook pro. I have a question about the screen. Was it really necessary to change the angle or was the screen usuable at a different angle?

I was using my pbook today and I noticed how dim the display is in high light situations. Do you really think you would need the angle with this new display?

Angle is irritating, but I'm able to work around it. The brighter screen helps, but it actually doesn't have the best vertical viewing angle, so you're limited in how off-angle your screen can be.

Video iChat can be a pain though.
