MacBook Pro, not so pro screen
In case you're wondering about the displays on the MacBook Pro, this little rant from Iconfactory designer Louie Mantia should give you some idea. In short, Apple isn't hot on revealing the actual qualities of their display screens (shock horror!).

With Notebooks, Every Inch Counts
There was a TV advertisement making the rounds in the United States just recently in which a shopper went to a computer store looking for a 17-inch notebook for under $1000. With some brands and models, a 17-inch notebook represents their top of the line machine with the latest technology, but its size also tends to make it very heavy.
It is almost unthinkable that anyone would be able to find a top of the range product for that much. It is comparable to looking for a sports utility vehicle for the price of a sedan — either you get a new model with less capability or you get a used and much older model. Recently, computer manufacturers have been releasing notebooks of this size, with older or less cutting edge technologies to make them more affordable. Whether this shifts the idea of premium class notebooks to a different plane or it brings a previously limited range to a larger audience is another point of discussion.
