Just picked up a 15" HR with anti glare

Well, until Apple offers resolution independence some people will find the user interface a bit too small.

So 1680x1050 on the 17" screen would be similar PPI to 1440x900 on the 15" - bit more comfortable on the eyes.

Don't get me wrong, higher resolution is great, but some people like me, find things just a bit too small, and it would be nice if Apple provided a way to change the DPI.

Quite so. Not for me though.

Could you set the old and new machines side by side again and take a nice close up of the top inner corners of each machine, where they meet? Like a picture that shows the left machine's top right corner and the right machine's top left corner nice and close so we can get a feel for how much smaller the menu bar is by comparison between the two?

TIA.

Okay, so I found the originals; they are not great in quality, but I cropped the bezel out, and enlarged it so you can see the differences. Sorry for the crappy quality; that's what you get when you use a crappy P&S.

This was a great thread to read when the MBP's were first released in April.

Now that you've settled in with your new notebook how's it going?

The bottom left of mine looks a tad brighter if I look closely. I think that's pretty normal.

could you take a photo of the screen at white and black color, i got one the screen right side brighter than left side little bit.

White and black screen
have a yellow tint on the bottom of left side

heliam,

I can see a bit more gray on the left side bottom part but don't see the yellow.

entatlrg,

I'm not the original poster but I've had mine for about 3 weeks and am enjoying it. I haven't migrated my old iMac to it though as my sister and I are sharing this one. I got a 27" iMac so transferred all my old files to that one. I may eventually put it on the laptop but want to clean out more files etc.

At first I noticed the font was a bit smaller but after a few days I got used to it. The only thing I find annoying and maybe it's just me but when I'm trying to move my fingers along the track pad to move a file etc. I keep accidently enlarging and shrinking my folders. I'm sure there is a way to disable this though and I just have to get used to the new track pad. I'm used to the older models where you had a bit of a raised edge.

Too all of you complaining that the higher res screen has "tiny letters" that strain your eyes, fear not, lion will solve that for you.

Best Regards
