Boot Camp Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 17"------------------20" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimp Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well the 17" runs at 1440x900 and the 20" runs at 1600x1050. A 15" MacBook Pro runs at 1440x900 which I'm using now, and to be honest this is excellent for a laptop though I couldn't imagine it in a desktop, it may show as a bit small there. I'd say go for the 20". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Apple doesn't even make a 17" iMac anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 If you can find one that has the same processor and clock speed, a 17 inch model will be slightly faster than the 20 inch model. I'm not sure why, but it's been proven true on Speedmark tests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Because th 17" has a lower resolution yet the same graphics card, so some tests show a higher fps. Still rather have the 20 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
