screen real estate GOOD! 1,710 Views / 27 Replies  
Yeah, I agree that driving an external monitor is a big step up from the ibook. When I get some more dough together I may pop for a 20" Dell Ultrasharp LCD. We have a Cinema Display at the lab I work...

Is it the fact that you'll have to upgrade the OS when Leopard comes out or are you concerned that the macbook won't be up to the task of running leopard?

I don't know that you'll see a lot of big changes in the next hardware rev of the macbook. After all, the current crop of macbooks got Core 2 Duo (64 bit chip) and 80211.n wireless . I think you...
