December 17, 200916 yr comment_306411 To me, it's all about real estate. 13" == 1280x800 15" == 1440x900 ~= 27% more real estate, so I would throw that in your oven bag and shake it. Me, personally, I intend to get two -- one of the tiny Sony Vaio Lifestylers with the 1600x768 8" screen, and a huge HP dv8t with the full 1080p 18" screen. Report
December 18, 200916 yr comment_306689 I gotta say, I went from a 15" Powerbook to a 13" Macbook and I thought that the 13" form factor was the tits. But then a few years ago my boss bought me a 17", and while yes, it is a pain in the ass to carry, I really got hooked on the whole "having a no compromise machine" everywhere I went. I'd say it depends on how you lug it around. Going around town for me, it wasn't bad, because you can drive anywhere in Vegas. It was only really annoying when travelling via plane. Report

December 29, 200916 yr comment_309919 Apple doesn't actually keep track of operating system licenses in any way. Ok and thanks, I'll have a go tonight. Report
December 30, 200916 yr comment_310287 Ok and thanks, I'll have a go tonight. One relatively major bug I've been having with 10.6.2 is the inability to write file directories to FAT-formatted flash drives. It's fairly well documented in the Apple forums, and if it's not fixed in 10.6.3, I'll be pretty pissed at Apple. Report
December 30, 200916 yr comment_310289 I installed it today and have a flash drive with me, I'll see if I have the bug too. Report

December 30, 200916 yr comment_310296 Other than the write speed seeming a bit slow it wrote to my FAT32 formatted flash drive just fine. And I double checked and I'm running 10.6.2. Report
