I'm curious, related to a discussion I am having in the feedback forum, what resolution do you use on your Mac laptop? I have a sister thread in the Mac Pro/Power Mac forum (since there's not a general hardware forum) and towers are likely to offer the other extreme. I couldn't survive for long on only my laptop's 15" display, but if people are able to actually use 1024 pixels wide, that should make me re-think how I use my machines. If you have a secondary monitor, feel free to use whichever you are more comfortable with (i.e. if you use a 15" MBP that uses a 1440 wide display next to a 1600x1200 4:3 ratio 19" CRT, that'd give you either 1440 or 3040 depending what you feel most comfortable with). Feel free to note your responses with your equipment if you like.

My response is a common config driven by my MacBook Pro is the internal 1440 pixel display and an old 19" LCD from 2002 that runs 1280x1024.
