Pretty stupid to buy a 17 inch screen laptop, makes it heavy, eats battery, just all around dumb. The point of a laptop is to be able to easily bring it wherever and be mobile. If you don't want that, then buy a desktop. Much smarter choice and you'll have the ability to upgrade later. The maximum anyone should have with a laptop is probably a 15 inch screen.

Oh and that point about not being able to sit in front of a 12 inch screen? Have you tried it? I did a lot of graphic design in high school to where I was used to sitting in front of Dual 19 Inch CRTs, then I got my Ibook and opted for a 12 inch. Works fine. I have no real regrets. All it does is take a day to get used to.

Oh man and here's another thing. Why do people NOT want to install windows on their macs? Are they crazy? Maybe its just me but sometimes I want to occasionally play a game or better yet -- some software works only on PCs, lots of trading simulation software. You shouldn't think it's a bad idea to install windows on your mac. It's not. It gives you a wider range of functions and that's always good.
