i have been reading post about fitting notebooks on school desks, backpacks, and starbucks. so i wonder how many are on here who are older professionals. type in your screen size and vote.
 
25, network engineer, 13" w/ssd, but i connect it to 2-24" monitors in each of my offices using a matrox head2go.. so, having a super portable mbp is perfect for me.

Oh, also I use dropbox + a nas for "media" and critical docs when I need it
 
I'm 27 now but I was 23 when I bought mine so I picked 23. It's no longer my primary computer.
 
42 with a 15" MBP. Even us old folks carry our computers in backpacks & work at coffee shops.

no offense intended. i go to starbucks daily. if you are asking college students and younger people what laptop to pick most are not going to pick a 17, i guess, based on other posts, they dont fit on the desk.
 
24 (25 this year) with a 15 inch high resolution.

I'm just about to finish uni and will be using the computer in a professional environment doing any audio work that I can get my hands on.
 
I am 17 and have a 15" MacBook Pro. Got my first one when I was 14 (going into high school). Now on my second MacBook Pro (got it when I was 15, only a year after my first one because Apple damged the first one while in repair).
 
My daughter is 30 so that makes me pretty old. I just bought our first mac.
Picked up a 17 inch mbp for the wife. Next I need something smaller for travel will probably get a base 13 mbp, don't want to drag the 17 all over. Hopefully this fall I will replace my desktop with an iMac and have an all mac house and be rid of pc's.
