The area of any rectangle will be its diagonal measurement squared, regardless of its aspect ratio.

Are you claiming that a^2 + b^2 = ab?
That's some theorum #

I think you're a bit mixed up there, the Pythagorean theorem applies to right-angled triangles.
The area of a rectangle is equal to the width multiplied by the length.
Many people use a 15" and only a 15" with no external monitor. I am not sure of the point that you were trying to make, but a lot of people don't need, or even want, a huge screen. I have tried out the 27" iMac 2 times in the past 6 years and hated it both times. To me, it's just too darn big, but you find other people claiming it is a godsend. I find the 21" perfect.
I find that a 15" can be a desktop replacement. There is more than enough screen real estate to be productive. You just sit a little closer.
I'd totally buy a 17" rMBP. I currently use 2 laptops, a 13" rMBP for portability and a 17" HP Envy for gaming and processing power. I'd love to swap the latter for a 17" rMBP with a full mobile quad-core CPU, a dedicated GPU that's more powerful than the 750m, and a glorious 3840x2400 screen.
Not going to settle. Have had macs since my first 128.
If there isn't a 17" by the time I'm ready to retire my current, I'll get a crappy WinTel notebook. Alienware makes some very nice models.
I miss these things. Had one in at work the other day (anti-glare, also) and found it to be lovely to work on, even though I use a 15" retina everyday. The screen was just so spacious.
It was definitely showing its age though in terms of performance. Wasn't handling Mavericks too well.
Performance on the 2011 17"MBPro's is awesome on Mavericks the 2.3-25Ghz i7 processors are only 5% slower than the very fast current i7 quad cores! This means they are still sporting leading edge CPUS the only benefit really of the current gen is lower power consumption leading to better battery performance!
Maybe your slowness was old HD technology ... put a Samsung 1Tb SDD inside and the 2011 FLIES on 10.9!
The 17" screen is STILL THE BEST ... it's why I still use one with Expresscard34 eSata & USB 3, 1.5TB HD installed in DVD bay.... Fark Retina ... I don't need smaller pixels give me legibility anyday.
My Ultimate MBPro in 2014 is a 2011 17" model with TWO x 2.7Ghz i7 processors (plenty of room in there) same 2011 screen (i don't want more pixels)!
Think about it Apple most serious mobile pros .. Music & Video guys work off the power supply ... battery performance is rarely needed and when it is the second CPU could be turned off!![]()
no way that thing is humongous and nasty
which usb3 expresscard are you using?
just a yumcha no name one atm and I have stability issues with Mavericks
the yumcha esata is very stable though .. I did the drivers for Mav in Multibeast.
1920 x 1200 rocks in 17" it OWNs a 15" Apple! BiGGER IS Better!
How cheap would 1920 x 1200 screens be now? The yield would be 100%!
Do It Apple
Oh btw the guy before saying that any offering would need a 4Tb SSD is an idiot. You need to go with what is available now! 1TB x 2 in a Raid 0 stripe would be max,, but I prefer reliability ... less is more so 1Tb SSD with a 2Gb HD and there is room for a 3rd bay if they didn't do the extra i7 processor
