    It always depends on what you want it for.
    School, gaming (prefer it to at least run most games at medium settings), and just surfing the net. Nothing too extensive.

    Spring for the ATI video card if you want to do any gaming.

    I recommend checking back through the thread. Integrated video cards are unacceptable for gaming.

    I still don't get why you people think a 17" laptop at 1920 x 1200 is a waste of resolution. I get pegged as having super eyes, when I see nothing abnormal. I guess the reason the same ones of you are so unethical, is because you are incapable of reading the the Bible The words are too small. Too much resolution placed on a piece of paper for you to read. At around 80 lines per page and a page height of only 8"... That's about right for 1200 pixels high. A 17" wide-screen would be about 9-1/2" high.

    So far so good. The speed is amazing compared to my old laptop, I don't have to wait 5 minutes for windows to load no more, and after getting used to win7, it's pretty cool.

    Only problem I've had so far is to wake up and find out that the laptop went into hibernation mode, and won't start whenever I tried to turn it on. Solved it by taking out the power cord and it started fine, but I'll be keeping watch just in case this problem reappears.

    Why?

    You guys are saying that 1920 x 1200 is a waste of resolution for a 17" screen. If you are incapable of reading that, then how can I expect you to read the Bible, or even a paperback for that matter?

    If you can read a paperback, then you can appreciate that resolution on a laptop.

    Do you know the difference between prejudice and racism?

    Apparently not.

    Care to elaborate?

    How about starting a "Wild Cobra is an Idiot" thread in politics. We'll see just who the idiot is.

    Please, someone, respond to this. I would love to see his justification for why one of these things is acceptable.

    We are prejudiced in life everyday. Some things more than others. Some deal with prejudging people, and not always by race, but by how they carry themselves, the cloths they wear, etc.

    Racism is the belief of superiority of one race over another.

    We all know first impressions are not always right, but it is a form of prejudice. Am I right or wrong.

    If you are prejudiced to believe that white doctors are better than black doctors, wouldn't that be, according to your own definition, a racist belief?

    Not if he doesn't know or talk to any black people. Then it remains prejudice.

    Not at all, and I'm not saying a white doctor is better. Never have.

    back on topic...
    Not that hard to find. I have a 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect, 27") and bought it at Costco about a year ago.

    That said, I thought this was a laptop thread...
    Yes, this started when I said I would buy a laptop when I could find one under a $1000 that had 1920 x 1200 resolution.

    I'm amazed at how many people think it's a 1080P, enhanced somehow. Less amazed that some think it's a waste of money, but completely stunned that nobody seems to understand the practicality for some applications. Like when I bought my new computer. It was pointed out I could have bought more for the same money, but I'm happy with my choice. Super clean design, tool-less parts exchange, large Barracuda drive, no free stupid programs installed, etc. It's a professional series computer, not a poor quality cut rate computer that likely has extra wait-states to access the memory.

    Anyway...

    What do you think of wanting the 1920 x 1200 resolution on a 17" laptop?
