Heh, it reminds me of the old days, where they used the term luggable (not laptop/portable/etc).
Got a tip for us?

I used to think 15" was a good size for a laptop until I used 17" now 15" is too small and 13" is just a toy!

Which company invented the laptop as it is today?
It is? So if I purchased the 17" MBP and an external bluray player the movies would look as good on there as they do on my HDTV?
The 17" is 1920x1200; the same resolution as 24" computer monitors and higher resolution than any HDTV in the Western Hemisphere.
Oh, and no, you can't play Blu-ray movies made in Hollywood. Too bad for you.
I dont think macs support blueray playback yet but the 17" macbook has the resolution of a 1080p 24 inch monitor.
I might buy one if I wanted a cleaner desk. Think about it: a 20" laptop would have to clean up some clutter, right?
Definitely, but I thought the poster above was wanting to view it on the internal screen.
With a 2560x1600 display? Sounds fun. Not sure I'd buy it, probably too big to every use as portable.
I wouldn't buy one 20",
but fairly sure I'd buy more than two 10" over their production lifecycle.

QFT. im slowly moving away from the mac scene and moving towards the hackintosh machine - i already have one and it is beginning to come my main machine.
if the 20" was powerful enough (quad core etc), and had good expandability, and i was rich (keep dreaming) i would most certainly buy it. i would use it away on trips etc. would be useless as a main machine though.
I'd buy one. Definitely. In fact I posted a thread about a 19" or 21" MBP back in June. I do think there is a gap in the market for a larger MBP. All the naysayers knock its "not portable" - well look at the size of your fathers/grandfathers briefcase. A 20" MBP will be similar in size. So a 20: is not portable is a weak argument. Also I suspect the market for these would be people who move their laptop around the house. Like from the living room to the bedroom to watch DVDs/movies on. Maybe take it to a client meeting to do a presentation on.
I think attachments 1&2 work. But iphone dock is horrible though
lol it would probably bend if it were that thin!!!
i would say somewhere around the 10-15lb mark.. maybe.
