BBC NEWS | Technology | Apple goes after notebook sales
After months of rumours, Apple finally released their new notebooks today - still slim, neat and desirable, they are now faster than before with built-in networking, and slightly cheaper. ZDNet reviews them here too. This makes them an even better choice for the mobile or semi-mobile person, but it does little to resolve my dilemma - 12" lighter weight and more portable, or 15" for not too much of a size-weight hit but a larger and higher resolution screen? The Apple OS, lovely though it is, is quite hungry for screen estate (at least, empirically) and so I am going to have to play some more. In the past I've been strongly in the "light is right" camp, mainly as I've been highly mobile, but this machine, whilst it will travel, will mostly be in the car with me or on a train, and so as long as it fits into a bag it's portable.
