Macbook Pro 15 inch or 17?
I am planning to switch from PC to Apple and am waffling between a 15 or 17 inch screen. I will get an extra large screen for home desktop, but I will be traveling for three months when I will be learning and working with illustrator plus using photoshop. I'm weighing size vs. weight (altho I hope to find a rollilng case) and cost of course. Advice appreciated.

I've got the 17", glad I did. The 17" is no more of a hassle at all. The extra 1lb or whatever it is, is not going to be noticeable.
Oops. I thought they had updated the screen already. Thanks for the replies. Still not sure. Did you get glossy or matte? I am an artist and need good color to reproduce my work accuarately. (Or, better than accurately, lol.)
If you want accuracy you need the matte. The Glossy isn't good for accuracy. I like the crispness of the matte as well. I have a glossy Sony at work and I'm always happy when I open my new MacBook Pro and look at the screen.
I wish I'd bought the 15"er instead.
4GB of RAM is amazing though...

Get the 15" if you travel. The 17" doesn't fit in hotel safes.
