Asus lappy. The resolution is 1280 x 800 on a 14.1" screen. What is this comparable to? 17" non-widescreen monitor? How big of a screen are we talking here? Just trying to see if I should spend the extra $50 to get a slightly larger screen.

 
You want a good idea of the dimentions. Well here is a clue. Monitors are measured diagnally.

So take a peice of paper and a ruler. measure out 14.1" diagonally on way accross teh paper then the other way. Draw a box around the X and you have your screen size. It won't be exact but it should give you an idea.

It will be about as tall as a 12" standard screen but wider of course. A 17" wide is about as tall as a 15" screen. a 19" wide is about as tall as a 17". So you get the idea.
