Any reason for 17"? We've got a 17" and find it too big - 15" seems to be the sweet spot.
Well, maybe for a school kid expected to lug it around to class or something.
But for an adult 5,95 lbs (2,7 kg) is not that much and the screen real-estate will be greatly appreciated when doing any real work. Plus the width allows for a full sized keyboard without falling off the side of the thing.
I've been stuck with little screen laptops too often, and 17 inch is my minimum these days for anything I intend to use for actual work.
For media surfing, sure, but if that's all she wanted a big-ish netbook would be cheaper.
Yes, I agree completely. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
