I remember when the 14" first came out, I happened to see reviews for it in
both MacAddict and MacWorld. The former raved about it because it had a
larger screen. The latter panned it because all it had was a larger screen,
without any resolution advantage. In other words, beauty is in the eye of
the beholder. I went for the 12" because it was lighter, and easier to
handle and carry around.
