There is something strange about the 17" (15 vs 17)

i thinking going way on next refresh , 17" decided go store today , check them out. lined up, 11" air 17 pro.

want bigger screen pulled of bit unsual things.
first off, laptop seems bit .. unbalanced. can't find right words, may because of keyboard keeping same size dunno feel screen "footprint" smaller 2nd half of laptop.

went 13 15 (standard resolution) instantly felt "awe !", felt refreshing, natural , pleasing see bigger screen.
15 17, however, didn't quite feel it. in fact, didn't feel screen bigger. felt more 15 16 transition.
didn't resolution of 17, or better, people call here "os x resolution independence thingy".

13-15 = great ! bigger picture better quality
15-17 = 21" desktop display squeezed 17" frame.
text small in opinion, , while might have more screen estate multiple windows open simultaniously example, felt hurt eyes, in long run.

17 feels big screen not being bigger comparing 17. felt 17 deliver more experience wise. might me not know.

wanted it, dealt , liked idea of having bigger laptop got cold feet when using it.

thoughts ? guys went 15 -> 17 ?
if apple happens refresh "viewing experince" rumored retina thing might give chance.

 

i have 17"...i know mean keyboard, somehow seem out of proportion. needed real-estate, it's heavy beast carry around.

air doesn't replace work, , grow love screen...i gave using @ nigh browsing device when got mba though...my legs suffering big time.
