Looking for some feedback on 15inch MBP v the 17 MBP.

It's gonna be used 80% of the time as a lap based machine.

The xtra screen res appeals, but the xtra size/weight doesn't.

Cost isn't an issue really, but I don't want to buy it and then later regret not getting the other one etc.

Any thoughts...
Anyone gone from a 15 to a 17, or vice versa? For what reasons...

I've currently got a 13ich Macbook, so both will be an "upgrade"

Thanks,

Lee.
 
I'd take the 2.4 simply because of the 256mb gfx compared to the 128mb in the 2.2 15"

Hence the choice between the 15 and 17 (both 2.4, both 256mb gfx etc).

The "downside" of the 17 is that it doesn't use the new LED backlight for the screen iirc.
 
My initial thought is to go for the 2.4 15" version.... but... would I regret not buying the 17... and not getting the decent screen res.
