just bought a macbook pro. its the 17inch 1920 x1200 widescreen (matte finish) w 2gb ram and a 160 7200 rpm HDD and core 2 duo.

its nice too because it has an illuminated keyboard and its just designed so much more well than my old sony vaio which was just completely falling apart.
anyone think this was a good decision? also im going to use bootcamp to run windows for some programs i use that require it...ive used xp mce extensively but would you recommend using vista now on my new mac or sticking to xp?

Can you see anything at 1920 x 1200 on a 17 inch screen? I run 1600 x 1200 on a 19 inch screen and most people I know find it a bit too much. I was looking at getting a 24 inch monitor at 1920 x 1200 at the start of next year.
It's good if that's what you want, if you're not bothered about gaming and want style, design and the features that Mac offers, then it's perfect!

the fonts and images on the 1920 x 1200 17 inch screens are noticeably smaller when you first look at it but after getting adjusted its fine.

Just took my old AL1715 flat screen monitor upstairs and it runs very clear at the above figures. No problems.
cheers
EDIT--sorry more like 1280 by 1024 which is max on this older 17 inch screen. But still very clear and useable
cheers
