A Powerful Argument for a Small Laptop
I grabbed dinner at the airport on the way to CES. I asked Andalé Taquería if El Presidente Burrito trumped El Supremo, but they feigned ignorance. Personally I think both are quite a mélange of ingredients.
Anyway, I’m sitting on a Virgin America 737 or whatever this narrow-bodied thing is, and I’m back in cattle class. There is barely (barely!) enough room to open my 15-inch MacBook Pro, with the likelihood of it being damaged if the passenger ahead of me reclines his seat—so I politely asked for a warning if he were to be so inclined (double entendre intended).
If I flew regularly, I’d buy a MacBook just for airline travel. In the “old days” a 15-inch laptop was not a problem. On Virgin America, it’s a bad choice size in this godawful sardine can. But there were few options left when I bought my ticket.
Update: the return flight on Jet Blue was vastly better for leg space. And for $25 I sat in seat 4D where I could actually stretch my legs out, and my pack would fit under the seat ahead of my. Night and day better vs Virgin America.
