No good for me 'cos I'm using 1600x1200 at home, but I'd love to see
the screen on the 17" titanium Mac Powerbook

But remember - the 17" powerbook only does 1440x900. 900 pixels high is
pretty poor, and the 1440 wide is poor for a widescreen display when you
consider they need to add horizontal pixels to make up the extra width.
Compared to a 4:3 aspect display, its worse than 1280x1024 (but better than
1024x768).

For comparison my 3 year old Dell (non-widescreen) does better with
1440x1050 in 15" (4:3)! The new Dell Inspirons (widescreen - hence weird
horiz res) are doing 1280x800 standard, 1680x1050 for extra £30 and
1920x1200 for extra £80 (currently discounted to +£60).

I can't believe that the 'new spec' iBooks only come with 1024x768
regardless of physical display size.

Bugger I'll stick with me homebuild PC then.
