> The location bar has to go. It has many problems. For one, it’s always visible and constantly takes up a large amount of space

Not a problem on my old 4:3 laptop screen but I dread the time when my current laptop dies and I have to deal with one of those 16:9 models.

Right now I have 1400x1050 but in the future I would have to deal with 1440x900 or 1600x900. The height difference is more than the height of the location bar.

Or you can get 1680x1050. Same great height, less-filling width.

Yeah, I could, but such a laptop would not fit my favorite backpack ;)

Actually I'd like to own a laptop with a 1400*1200 screen, because I spend a lot of time reading articles and don't care for width.

My work MBP is a little big at 15" and has a 1680x1050 (nonstandard, but the only option for the matte screen). My 12" personal laptop has 1440x900 and that's pretty nice at the size, the pitch is almost the same as the MBP.
