Would I notice a difference if I where to forgo the 17 Inch for weight and get the 15 In MacBook Pro with the Hi-Res? Would it seem smaller in physical size? My Dell has a standard 1366x768 and I'm thinking that might be a bit small (in terms of the 15 "" MacBookPro if I got the 1440x900 screen) when working with Final Cut Pro. I said in other threads that I was going to get the 17inch but know I just don't know as I sort of want to go smaller but am concerned about the screen being a lot smaller then what I have now in terms of physical dimension of the screen (plus $210 saved)
What would I be missing out on aside from the 1 USB port and the Express Card 34?
