POLL: for all you with 14.1" laptops...

[AznMaverick]

I'm deciding weather or not to get a laptop with a higher resolution than XGA

 

[SWirth86]

I just screwed up your poll. (No Results option)

I have SXGA+ but i hardly ever use it (the higher resolution)

I think all screens (XGA/SVGA+ are best at their native resolution)

I work on an old dell 610 with an xga. I don't know if its age is the factor, but the screen is pretty washed out. IMHO higher quality displays are worth it.

 

[thuned]

I voted I have a XGA but wished I had something higher. But the couple hundred in $$$ was a concern for me.

 

[Spicedaddy]

I have XGA and I think it's fine for what I do. 1024x768 is high enough for office work and web surfing, and not too high for games.

 

[sciencewhiz]

I have XGA and am glad I don't have anything else.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

I have an XGA and I'm perfectly happy with it.

 

[Soybomb]

I have wsxga+ and its great

For those of you who don't know:

800x600 (SVGA)
1024x768 (XGA)
1280x1024 (SXGA)
1400x1050 (SXGA+)
1600x1200 (UXGA)
1600x1200 (UXGA+ : UXGA w/ brighter screen)

1366x768 (WXGA : Wide XGA)
1680x1050 (WSXGA+ : Wide SXGA+)
1920x1200 (WUXGA : Wide UXGA)

SXGA would probably be fine for me depending on the screen size.

 

[Confused]

I've got SXGA+ and I love it

I had the choice of P4 2Ghz with SXGA+ screen or 1.4 Centrino with XGA screen, the higher resolution screen won it by a mile.


I could not go back to having to use a lower resolution screen, it would be too horrible

I've been wondering this same question. I was thinking of going to Best Buy or one of those places and just snooping around their selections and decide for myself.(not purchase from them, just look)

 

[AznMaverick]

yea, this is one of the deciding factors for my laptop purchases. that, and finding a complete system with 512MB RAM, 802.11b/g card, serial port, (firewire would've been nice) and winxp pro already installed so i don't have to worry about adding things later. i'm searching the refurbs and ebay for a d600.

that's by far the best way to go.
