Post #358,873 by malraux 6/12/12 10:07:52 PM Reply	Not really. I'm the only person I know who actually has one. They're huge. Almost all of the consultants I see these days have the 15" MBP. Rarely will one have a 15" Dell with Windows. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
Post #358,924 by folkert 6/13/12 7:31:56 PM Reply	The heck! I'm sorry. This is just a sheer matter this crap being available. 5 years ago 15.4" was just the standard... Whatever. I guess I don't know what I want.
Post #358,926 by malraux 6/13/12 7:35:04 PM Reply	I'm not saying you don't know what you want. I'm saying that the number of people who actually buy one appears to be vanishingly small. At which point it's not leaving money on the table, because they aren't making enough to cover costs. Don't get me wrong, I love my 17". But I don't travel with it for one thing, and at this point I don't use it enough to justify buying another one regardless. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
