- Also:
-
- - The new "14-inch" model is 50% brighter than the old "13-inch" model
- - The new model consumes 32% less power
- - The new model meets the Swedish emissions requirements (as did the old
- model, but only those made in the last year or so)
-
- As to the monitor's size, it's actually the same size as the previous
- model. Quoting an Apple product briefing: "Competitive displays of
- equivalent size and picture area are advertised as 14-inch displays.
- Rather than fight what has become a standard industry practice, Apple has
- decided to use the same criteria [measuring the picture tube rather than
- the actually-used display area] to measure its new display."
