Not necessarily.. I came from a 15.4 Dell to the MacBook and I love it! I didnt miss the extra 2.4 inches at all!
Many more? How many windows can you fit in 240x100 - cos that is how much more you have on a 15" screen.
This is maybe your perception, but it is most certainly not fact. Quite the opposite.

Actually its 160x800 more on the side and 1440x100 more across the bottom
The 13" is the PB G4 replacement...it's all about the widescreen now - unless Apple make a netbook we won't see 12" again , even if they do make a netbook my guess is it'll be about 10"I have a 13" MacBook and I wish I had something smaller, not bigger. Something like an 12" PowerBook G4.
That's what she said... sorry couldn't resist...
I actually just switched from a 17" Acer to the MB and the realestate is not an issue at all. If you need a lot of screen there is always connecting to a monitor (I use my 58" plasma)

i had a 2.4GHz MB alum for about 4 months, but got fed up with the screen quality. Plus, I wanted something slightly larger to watch movies on. I took advantage of a recent 20% live cashback promotion and bought a new 2.4GHz MBP alum on ebay for $1550 shipped. If it weren't for that deal, I would have stuck with the normal MB since they both perform the same. However, the MBP screen is sooooo much better I'm glad I made the change. The weight is about the same, but the difference in dimensions is very noticeable.

thanks--do you have any issues or notice a big difference when carrying the mbp around vs the mb? my main concern only is portability.
I just don't get why the MB screen is so awful. The best in the world? No. But I find it to be pretty good. Definitely doesn't bug me enough to drop $1500+ on another computer.
Me too, but something even smaller. Something like the 8" Vaio P.
TRUST ME!! you dont want the viao, i have an 11" and is awful, you can hardly see the words on the screen and you cant zoom in like the mb! dont do it please...!!!!! That was my $2100 mistake(((
