This new Boeing jet, the 7E7, sounds like it'll be pretty cool. Made of composite materials with a more ergonomic cabin...

Will I notice anything different as a passenger?

Yes, according to Boeing, which plans for larger windows and luggage bins inside the 7E7's cabin. Designers are using a mix of blue lighting, filters and sheer materials to create a sky-like effect in which passengers can't easily tell how close or far away the ceiling is. In addition, Boeing designers plan to increase the air pressure and humidity inside the cabin, which they think will make passengers more comfortable and reduce sinus problems caused by the desert-dry air inside today's jet cabins. Boeing has also designed "Dream Lavs" - elaborate new bathrooms - for the Dreamliner.
