Does anyone with a 17 inch iMac regret not getting the 20 inch, or anyone with the 20 inch regret not getting the smaller iMac?

I wouldnt go as far as saying I regret getting the 17" imac, but I wouldn't mind having the 20". Being that I have the 1.8Ghz and 1 gig of ram, the 17" does me just fine.

What I did before my iMac purchase was went to CompUSA and used the 17" and than the 20" to try and decide. To me the 20" was like staring into a TV screen and was too big for my eyes. I settled for the 17" and I have no regrets.

I have the 17". I kinda wish I could have afforded the 20", but honestly the 17" still kicks ***. I have NO regrets on screen size whatsoever. Plus, 17 is a cooler number than 20 (gotta love your prime numbers!)

I have a 20" and it's awesome and I wouldn't want anything smaller. There is only one complaint that I have and it's that with the iLugger and a 17" I could take it with me as carry on, the 20" is a little too big for that

I got the 20" and simply love it. Previously, I was using a 20" dell screen. I wanted a screen of the same relative size.

If apple would only make a 24" imac. :p
