[QUOTE="onthecouchagain, post: 1205812, member: 195602"] I recently purchased a MBP 13" and I'm loving virtually everything, but the one thing that I seem to be having an issue with is the low resolution, and perhaps the smaller screen size. I find my eyes getting tired and strained looking at the screen. I primarily got this to write on the go, but staring at a Word document with the low resolution after a while really stresses my eyes. I'm well within my 14-day grace period, so I'm considering if I should exchange it for the MBP 15". In terms of budget, I'd really prefer not to throw down the extra $600 (is it?) to go to 15"... plus, I'm particularly fond of the weight and size of the 13" -- it's a big reason why I got it. Not sure what to do... and would appreciate some opinions. Am I the only one who finds the resolution too low; am I the only one who's eyes are bothered by this? Is the 15" worth the extra money for its higher resolution and larger screen? Anybody else been in my position before? What did you guys/gals do? And for anyone who has owned both the 13" and 15" before, is the weight difference (about 1+ pounds) really a big factor when lugging the laptop around? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
