Hello
I am in the market for a new notebook and am considering a 17” MBP. I need a laptop because I frequently travel to and from home and need my own computer, but size is important because I do not have much of it. I looked at Dells website to find the specs for my 8600, and Apple site to get the specs on the 17” MBP. To my dismay, the 17” is not only shorter, but only 1.4” wider than my current setup. To me this does not appear like much. Has anyone taken a 17” MBP and compared it to a 15.4” non-Apple notebook in person? Is it really that much bigger? I figured the price difference between each setup wouldn’t be much, and the 17” would more than suffice, but if it is as “big” as everyone says I would rather not get it.
Thanks for all your help,
Phil
