Does anyone else have this display? What are your thoughts on it?
My MBP arrived on Friday. I treated myself to the 'better' screen, sight-unseen, which was probably dumb. Everything is much smaller than I presently find comfortable.
I bumped down the resolution to 1440 x 8XX and size is better, but obviously it looks crap.
I've gone through most of my programs and bumped up as much as I can, but all the OS business remains liliputian. Are there any work-arounds? This is my first ever notebook, so it might just be a matter of me being a bit of princess about it.
I'm thinking about returning it and getting one with the standard screen, except I hate to loose the matte finish.
BONUS CONCERNS: I find the computer runs a bit hot. Not 'logic board is phooey' hot, necessarily, but when I booted up WoW with settings on high it started to cook pretty quickly and made me nervous (re: princess). Is this just a performance notebook thing? I value the integrity of my crotch enough that I wouldn't be lapping it much anyway, but I could feel the heat through my desk, which was concerning. Of course I went to the web, which fed into all my new-owner neurosis, so after I had a refreshing regret-faint I decided to come here.
Also, I don't like Lion. Neither here nor there, but, eesh, Lion.
