Jesus Christ... Once again, this post has NOTHING to do with the specific Mac Models - only laptop sizes in general. And I don't need anyone to tell me how great a laptop is; that would be pretty pathetic if I did. I'm not going to play semantics with you...how you can start an argument over a discussion on display sizes is beyond me.
Got a tip for us?

Anyone else wouldn't go bigger than a 13"?

I don't think he was rude at all. I think making up fake quotes that people supposedly said then criticizing them for the quote you made up is rude.
I think he's 100% right.
Used to have a 15.6" HP, good power, but bad size. The 13" is perfect for college students because it can fit on those little swing out desks in lecture halls. With an external, man, you got yourself a great setup for a long time.
didn't i say "processor aside"?????????????????????
We're talking about screens right???????? or size of the physical laptop????????????
Either way 13" mbp is NOT the sweet spot. Get over it already.
MANY people are considering processing power. You're in the wrong forum if you want to talk PC's pal. Sorry.
EDIT:
Don't get upset because i won't pat you on the back and tell you how you bought the cheapest/best mac available.

Does that say MBP? No? Do you not understand when I tell you that I am talking about all 13" laptops in general when I call them the sweet spot for mobility? Either you're the most dim-witted person in this thread right now or you're just trying to start an argument. Either way, this is pathetic, I'm not going to carry it on from this point.

Yes it does. Sorry to upset you.
YOU BOUGHT THE BEST MAC EVER!!!!!!!!!! THE CHEAPEST MAC IS ALSO THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy?
Icons, window borders, menus various widgets and so on were a lot smaller and leaner back then. If you ran an ancient windowing UI meant for 640-rez on today's 1600+ rez screens it would be very hard to use.
I'm fine. I answered his question specifically and all i get is an attitude.
You on the other hand say '13" is great as long as i don't have to use a 13" when it's inconvenient'.........
Thanks for the insight.......
The 13" screen size is perfect...it reminds me of the golden ratio. I need more graphics power, though. So my next Apple laptop will be the 15" MBP, not the 13".
Actual question =/= My personal experience with a 13" laptop. (Which just happens to be a Mac.)
Unbelievable...
I have the 13" MBP and have loved it. It was my first Mac after being a PC user for years and I have never looked back. I find the 13" to fit my needs - even being a photographer and editing photos.
You are really silly i think. Not one person is including PC's in their answer. This Isn't a PC sight.
You're clueless. You just want people to pat you on your back.
Everything 13" on the market is a HUGE variance. So much so that it makes your question completely stupid. Comparing every 13" notebook available, as a whole, to every 15" notebook on the market, is a waste of time.
Good question though!!!!!
He's asking about 13" models IN GENERAL. Including PC'S!!!!!!!!! NOT JUST MACS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JEEEEEEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^scarcasm. This whole thread is pointless.
Just tell him he bought the best computer EVER, and move on.
I'm not really sure if you're a troll or not. I am not asking for a comparison of every 13" laptop out there, you're right, that would be ludicrous. What I am asking for opinions on is one thing that is relatively equal among laptops of the 13" form factor - their 13" size screens and the mobility that lends them. Sure, there are some smaller differences, resolution to name one, but I still think it's a fair question keeping that in mind.
Would you stop with all the exclamation marks? It really makes it hard to take you seriously. Especially when you can't seem to grasp the simple concept of this thread. And I really have no idea where you keep getting this 'I just want to be told I bought the best computer ever' I mean, what...? I'm seriously confused about that.
Don't be confused. It is a fairy question, and you bought the best computer EVER. Be happy.
Way to establish a straw-man... If you really have enough time to be lying in wait soon enough to catch my typo, I feel sorry for you.
