Here's a 20" (2.4 Ghz) and my new 24" iMac (2.8Ghz) side by side on my very congested desk. By next week, things will be better once I send the 20" unit off to its new owner.

The screen on the 24" is way superior compared to the 20". As you can see, I have very limited desk space, that's the reason why I got the 20" instead of the 24" in the first place. Size wise, the 20" is perfect for me - but I needed 1920 x 1200 screen resolution for my work. Hence, the upgrade.

I find the wireless keyboard a little too small for comfort. When I type, it wobbles from left to right. Told the shop I bought it from about it and they asked me to bring it back for an exchange. Anyone of you with this keyboard faced similar problems?

As what u have read, it has been reported that the 20" monitor could not display million of colors compared to the 24". I've got both and I can only say the 20" displaying colors differently. (Even after calibration) For example, I was working on a project with a yellow color scheme, on my PC and printed material, the yellow looks like a Maybank yellow. But on the 20", it looks like a DiGi yellow.

Other than that, the 20" screen has a yellowish tone on white. While on the 24", white is white. Maybe its my imagination, but the text and icons on the 24" looks sharper too.

On your question about portability, the 20" is great. Upgrade to a wireless keyboard and mouse and you will have a super clean desk.

When it comes to playing the Nintendo Wii, especially Tennis - can't sit on my desk. Gotta move my massage chair and clear the area for some Doubles. (Picture taken last year when I was still using my Sony Vaio). Getting off topic. Hehehehe. Sorry Mod. Back to Apple Hardware - am loving the MacBook Air. A fine piece of hardware indeed. But definitely can't be used as a primary computer - the screen is way too "sempit" for my liking. But the size, what can I say? Fantastic.
