- Yes, the PB's are full 32bit, and as to the pixels:
-
- Many VGA notes display 640x480 on screens smaller than the PB's. One basic
- mac principle is WYSIWYG, and you can not do true WYSIWYG 640x480 without
- a 13" diaganal (640x480x72pixels/inch)
-
- I much prefer the readable PB 640x400 screen to the same size screen
- but 640x480 on a Compaq with Windows. But, I'm farsighted, and the
- bigger the better.
