question about 13" model

[pep.pep]

The only thing that is holding me back is the resolution. I, currently, have a 2006 iMac G5 with a 1400x900 res. It's dying, quickly: freezing all the time.

The 13" is in my price range, but I'm not sure about the resolution. Is it that much a difference?

The 1280 x 800 still has a higher DPI than the 15" MBP if I'm not mistaken. To me, it would be nice to have the MBA's resolution, but it's still a nice looking screen.

How do you usually use a computer? Video/photo editing or coding are pretty much out of th question unless you use an external monitor. Having a bunch of windows open is also a pain.

argh.

I do have an external monitor, 19" samsung.

But, I usually just use that for 360.

Looks like I'll have to venture into the 15".

I would get into an Apple store and compare the Air and the MBP.

1200x800 is ok for image viewing, email, surfing, and Office stuff.... I agree that this is not a multitasking machine for several reasons.

Yeah. I just hate going to my Apple store.

So busy, all the time.

The store actually moved to a different location in the same mall for a bigger space. It's still packed...

doing some calculations:

Pixel Density (Rounded Down):
MBP 13" = 113ppi
MBP 15" = 110ppi
MBP 15" w/ High Res Display = 128ppi
MBP 17" Screen = 133ppi

So basically the 13" has a slightly higher pixel density than the standard 15".
