[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1205850, member: 140470"] Unless I'm mistaken I think you might be confusing resolution and font size. A lower resolution would make everything bigger but it wouldn't be as sharp as a higher resolution screen. Although a higher resolution screen makes everything smaller unless all the text and images were enlarged to keep them proportionally the same. In other words if you are complaining about fonts size then getting the 15 isn't exactly a solution because the resolution is higher so the fonts are still tiny. My eyes also bothered me when reading text on my 15 but I reduced the pain by enlarging everything I could. If you are using Microsoft Word then look to see if there is a zoom feature. I know most word processing applications have them. You can zoom beyond 100% so that the text are larger. You can do this in a few other applications too like web browsers. Also you can enlarge text and folder icons in Finder. Doing these things has helped me reduce my eye strain from the high resolution of my MPB 15". [/QUOTE]
