    Hi guys i'm in the market for a desktop replacement type laptop that hits the sweet spot on price/performance. Starting working up the north and will only need to move it every few months dependant on project location. It needs to game (just WoW mainly). The high end vostro atm seems to hit the spot 930 if fact it seems really cheap. T7500, 320gb hdd, 3Gb ram, and the 256mb 8600m also has the larger battery (but it does stick out from the back i hear).

    Anyway what i'm not sure is whether to go with the standard 1440*990 display or the 1920*1200 truelife variant. I've not seen the higher resolution on 17inch display but I have concerns it will be too small (I run 1680*1050 on a 22"WS on my desktop). Plus i am concerned that the graphics won't have the power to deal with that resolution in games and that if i lower the resolution it would look crap. Would anyone have any input/experience that they could share on the matter.

    Cheers

    The graphics card would probably have problems running top end games at the higher resolution at decent fps. I have a 1440 x 900 resolution on my 17" laptop and I think it's fine. Not too big, not too small. I'd say go for that.
