New MacBook Pro 17" Screen

[SSS]

Just a few quick questions.....

- Is the new LED 15" screen better than the current 17" one?
- Would you recommend the high res screen and what is better about it?
- I hear the high res gives you more screen space, surely the text tho would be tiny...?
- Id it worth the £60 getting the high res upggrade?

Cheers!

like you say - you get more 'space' for your work. handy if you're video/photo editing I guess, but then yes, everything else is comparitively smaller....
as for worth the £60 extra, for what it gives you - and if thats what you're after - then yes, £60 well spent.

But there will more then likely b a way to change the screen settings so that it goes to the normal MBP resolution of 1680.....?

You can change the resolution. I just picked up my new 17" MBP yesterday. It has the high resolution screen and the 7200rpm drive. I compared it to the 15" LED. I am very happy with my decision!
