    are you kidding?

    WXGA vs WUXGA?

    I will never buy a laptop with a low density of pixels again.

    yes it does look pretty nice, but the xga screen will not cut it, that is far to low, they should at least have sxga.

    Personally, I like the XGA.  And while the higher resolutions are great for programmers and the like, it is the most popular resolution in the world.

    It does sound cool and has some nice features.  I like the built-in SD reader and the fact that is has a line-in jack, but other than that... just a laptop.  I love my i8500 with the WUXGA display and I probably wouldn't trade it... except for maybe several thousand dollars.

    do you know why it's the most popular resolution in the world?

    Because it's the CHEAPEST! People want things cheap...

    That laptop seems to be pretty cool, but like others have already said, the resolution is pretty low.  I've seen the WUXGA screen on the Inspiron 8500 and it is absolutely beautiful.
