-
- Several reasons:
-
- - Apple is phasing out the Hi Res RGB (aka 13") in favor of the Apple
- Color Monitor (aka 14"). That is, you might not have much of a choice
- after a while.
-
- - The 14" really is shorter. The monitor cable is built-in, and is
- recessed a bit. This makes it about 3 inches shallower (effectively)
- than the 13", and *much* more desktop friendly. It's also a bit
- lighter.
-
- - The swivel stand is built-in. You needn't spend the extra $50 or so
- for the Apple stand, or jury rig something out of old DOS manuals.
-
- - It's less expensive (though there are some good deals to be had as
- dealers flush their stocks of 13" monitors).
