I don't know while people are hating on my point. It's calling mac out on their marketing bullshit. They could have used a smaller boarder around the edge of the screen, and therefore givin you a larger screen area. I love my mac. but just making a simple point about it. Don't know why that point is so unpopular.... for anyone who thumbs downs my comments: do you like having a smaller screen on a pretty normal sized computer? put your 13 on top of a 15 and you'll see its almost the same size.

freezazoid (July 26, 2008 at 8:27 pm)

yeah, I know that already and I've always known that. My point is the screen size could have been bigger and the computer the exact same size. They purposefully used a larger border around the screen so they could call it a 13 inch computer. because if it had the same size boarder around the screen that every other mac has they would have to call it a 14 inch, and that fucks up the marketability. I never really noticed it until the other day I realized how fricking small my dads old 12" is.

Yeah, don't you know? The whole 13" only refers to the viewable area, the screen. So that you know that the screen is 13". It does NOT refer to the actual laptop, only the screen. It has always been like that. Just look at TV's, a 32 inch TV for example only has a 32 inch screen while the actual TV including borders is usually bigger.

no truth

just wanted to let everyone know. The whole 13.5 inch screen is BULLSHIT. Ever notice the really huge border around your macbook screen? Well that's so they can call it 13.5, but really it's only a tiny bit smaller than the 15 inch! They purposefully made your screen smaller so they could call it 13.5, but really it's like a 14 or 14.5! It's totally a scam and I love apple but it's shit like this that totally makes me angry. I have a fourteen inch computer with a 13 inch screen. BULLSHIT.

Its not me who was asking the question, and either way I just wanted to answer the guys question so no biggy. And I noticed that it was parallels after I read the description which I read after I made the comment.

Yeah, but I'm used to it. I always have at least 2 OSs on my laptop at a time. Either Vista and XP, Vista and Ubuntu, Ubuntu and XP, etc.
