    Hey Walter,

    Which system would you get? I like the idea of the more portable 15″ with the LED display, but the 1920×1200 display on the 17″ sounds good too. Those seem to be the main differences.

    [Greg Mulvey] “Which system would you get?”

    I always buy the most I can afford at the time. I purchased the 15″ MacBook Pro about 4 months ago because I do NOT edit with it. Just email, internet and the Cow. If I was editing, it would definitely be the 17″

    Thanks Walter,

    I think I’m leaning towards the 17″ with the 1920×1200 screen display.
    Now if only those 160gb 7200rpm drives were in stock…

    Walter, I’m curious to know, wouldn’t everything on the screen be that much more ‘crammed’ in, then? Sure you could see more, but it would be so tiny.

    Are you saying you’d get the bigger size screen b/c of Final Cut Pro screen layout, or for opening HD files full-screen?

    Just curious, b/c I’m thinking of getting a MacBook Pro in the near future.
