    Anybody here in sync with me?  Would you like to own a 19 or 21" Macbook pro?

    "Power users" buy 27" iMacs and Mac Pros. Apple listened.

    You'll have to make one yourself, it seems. With the 17" gone, it's clear what people actually want.

    Not me!

    I'm not budgeting for a new Mac until 2013 and may not even buy a laptop the next go around. Currently I have a 2008 MBP trying to cover both portable and desktop needs and frankly it is a massive trade off. I could see myself running a desktop machine with my portable needs covered by an iPad.

    That decision is likely well into 2013 but if I do go laptop it will likely be another MBP of some sort. That is a 15" machine though I do get tempted by smaller machines, they just aren't practicle for somebody 50+ years old. On the other hand the 15" MBP is a lot to lug around.

    Frankly if you need a portable that big, you might as well by a big suitcase, screen and a Mini. That way you get the screen of your choice. You would also get an idea about the bulk involved in building such a machine as a laptop.
