Ok, Well I have realized some very interesting things about this 17" macbook that set it apart from 15" mbp's.

When you look at the 17" opened, it looks kind of weird, to be honest.

The keyboard is set about 6 inches back from the edge of the laptop. This is very weird considering this leaves about a full inch between the top of the touch pad and the keyboard. Something I have not experienced before ( at least not that much room)

Well in my opinion, after using it for half a day, I realized that this is great! I can easily lay my hands and wrists on the laptop while typing. This also is very comfy when typing in bed.

Also this solves another problem for me, accidental touch pad hits. My thumbs can rest in that 1 inch space between the touch pad and the space bar.

Anyway, that is what I have noticed so far.

Obviously the screen looks and color are amazing.

Thanks for Reading.
