I will probably get an external monitor eventually but I agree 15 inch is ok - but backed by one or more large monitors is obviously better. I don't think a 17 in is an option anymore.

My concern would be that the new mac book, only give 15" screen which I think is rather too small for serious devlopment, and its a glossy reflective screen. So Im thinking about upgrading my existing 2009 Macbook Pro 17" which is still working reliably enough as a second machine, albeit a bit slower than I would like

I've been doing serious development for seven years now on macbooks, all 15" ;-) All my previous laptops weren't larger than 15", anyway. I hate the glossy screen, but more for photography than other activities. -- Fabrizio Giudici - Java Architect @ Tidalwave s.a.s. "We make Java work.
