ibook keyboard?
I was wondering if anyone knows if the keyboard size on the ibooks differs from the twelve inch to the fourteen inch. Using the pythagreum therom i determined that the 14 inch ibook should be about an inch and a half wider. Does this mean a larger keyboard or just more casing around the edges?

<strong>Bah. It still looks nice enough. Think of it practically, would you rather Apple stretched the keyboard out? That would be pretty terrible... I think the extra screen-space is more than worth the slight asthetic deviation.</strong><hr></blockquote>
You don't get any extra screen space. The resolution's 1024x768 on both the 12" and 14" so there's no extra screen space, everything's just bigger.
And no, I wouldn't rather have Apple stretch out the keyboard but I'm sure they could've designed the 14" iBook better.
No one complains about the Pismo's 14" 1024x768 screen... but the design does "flow" better in the Pismo than in the 14" iBook.
Lord though- the res is 1024x768? that's allready awfull large for 14.1 inches. On my G3 iMac with a 15 screen (14.something viewable), I only run a 800x600. Any higher a rez is kinda pushing it. I coulnt imagine running 1024 on a 12.1 inch screen...
<strong>Wow EmAn, I never really realized that. You're completely right.

Actually, IMO it's great on the 12" screen

I couldn't either, until I had seen it. And now I just love this laptop, including its extremely good display.
