i use it in bed...it fits nice on my lap and feel nice while typing.
it's the perfect size!
Exactly what I want to do. Thanks
Yeah it's fine. But it will get hot if you are running it hard.
Well I will be playing high graphical games from steam on the MBP. Maybe the new MBP 2011 will not be as bad.
I had a 17" laptop and it was great - but I rarely took it anywhere. It pretty much just sat on my desk. I will be going smaller in my next laptop - but that's not to say that the 17" is bad... it depends on how much you're going to be moving it around.
I want a laptop for home use so moving the 17" Macbook Pro won't be so bad. I will use an iPad for outside the home. But I am waiting for the 3rd generation iPad because of the fact that I want 4g internet. 3g is too slow to pay $30 a month.
Best laptop ever.
Screen size can't be beat. Well worth the weight.
Definitely want the extra screen real estate after coming from a 13" will be great when browsing the web (can put two web browser side by side) & Gaming
I love mine it's perfect but I don't take it many places
Same. Just want to lug it around home.
I have the speck hardshell on mine and sometimes whenever i'm wearing dress pants (which is often), it'll slide slightly, but I can still do it; it's not unwieldy or anything.
Don't let anyone deter you from getting it because of it's 'epic' size. Many don't realize it's only 1.1 pounds heavier than the 15".
I find that the MBP will get lighter over the years so I can suffice with the weight now and when Apple updates the MBP, the lighter weight will be a plus when I upgrade to a newer MBP 17". We all know how Apple likes to make things thin and light. Also I find that the MBP will discontinue the MBA once technology gets advance enough that the MBP can be greatly powerful and thin/light.
i have found mine to be incredibly easy to use. it was a change from my 13", but i am so glad i got the 17" now. it's just perfect.
Yeah I had the 13" Macbook (Not the MBP) Then I got the 13" Macbook Air.
So I had the 13" laptop for some time now and I want a change and more power so I'm going to sell the Macbook Air and get the new MBP 17" 2011 thats coming out soon.
Thanks so much for the response guys. You've taken away my worry of it being to large to have it on my lap & of letting me know of it's ease of use even though it's a big laptop.
All I have to do is wait for Apple to update the MBPs which will be soon.
