Also, the pixel area is actually close to 20% more, which really helps if you're designing things all day. 1,296,000 vs 1,024,000 pixels
true, although I guess I think of MUCH more space, as more than 11% wider or 11% taller which is all it really is. If a floating pallette takes up one quarter of the screen space, I cannot add a FIFTH pallette, simply because the screen is 11% wider.

The pixel density is not too much higher. If one REALLY wants MUCH more space, then the 17" model is ideal, but be prepared to have some long arms too
