    Should I build a new Desktop or go for a Laptop?

    Hi, I seem to find Lenovo Ideapad Z series laptop models good enough, though I would prefer the screen resolution to be better than 1366 x 768. IdeaPad Z560 Laptop - 091448U - Black (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/notebooks/.../z-series/z560). I also liked the Dell Inspiron series (15"...
