Reason To Buy 17" Over A Cheap 15"

[sab150]

To help new Macbook Pro buyers what are the main reasons to purchase the capable 17 inch over its 15" weaker brother?

Okay I will start with the obvious: bigger screen, bigger hard drive, bigger ram, bigger processor, extra GPU, more screen real estate, better battery life, higher quality build.

Any others?

1) Bigger screen: this is a personal choice

2) Bigger hard drive: 17 and 15 can handle same amount

3) bigger ram: both support up to 8

4) bigger processor: both support up to 3.06

5) extra GPU: you are right with this one

6) higher quality build: one which bases did you suggest that?

Why on earth would you say the 17" is higher quality build over the 15"? Thst is just plain wrong.

Yeah I see. That's like people in another thread thinking the 15" and 17" MBPs are higher quality build then the 13".

I knew as soon as I read the thread title... that Shambo douche should be banned, filling this respectable forum with mindless posts about his arbitrary opinion, not helping anyone in the process. At least TallestSkil is helpful every once in a while.
