I’d stick with the 15” in a heartbeat. My problem is that <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/robwilkerson/2336467088/">my desk in my office at the house</a> faces the door – not a wall. Having a big, honkin’ monitor in front of my face wouldn’t work for me; I’d probably spend half my day leaning over to look around it so I could see what the dog was up to or whatever. It would also make the room feel smaller.</p> <p>I think I’m with you on the matte screen. I brought home an office MacBook with a glossy screen just so I could see a side-by-side comparison (my <span class="caps">MBP</span> has a matte screen). I can guarantee that the reflection would make me crazy. I watch movies on the thing almost never. I code (and do other semi-productive things) daily.</p> <p>Thanks for the input.</p> tag:robwilkerson.org,2008-04-12:/id/47//comment_123 2008-04-12T15:13:48-04:00 2008-04-12T15:13:48-04:00 rob http://robrohan.com <p>I currently think my setup is “perfect” :) I have a 15” Macbook pro, and then on my desk at home I have the 23” cinema display ( http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-<span class="caps">APPLE</span>/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=MTI1Njg&fnode=home/shop_mac/mac_accessories/displays&nplm=M9178LL/A – I would like the bigger one actually)</p> <p>As you point out, the 15” is perfect for travel and most tasks, but when I need that extra space, I just plugin in in my office. The 17”‘s form factor is just way too big for me (though it is beautiful).</p> <p>As for the glossy / matte, I love the matte because you can take the laptop outside in direct sun, or in pretty much any lighting condition and it works really, really well (for doing coding, image manipulation, writing, etc). </p> <p>My wife has the glossy, and while movies look stunning, the reflection on the thing would drive me batty while trying to focus on work.</p> <p>my 0.02 £</p>
