My browser window size is typically around 900x950. I rarely maximize my browser window, because doing so reduces your computer into a glorified terminal. Single-tasking is not for me...  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 11-02-2005 03:30 PM                        1024x768 on an IBM ThinkPad  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 11-03-2005 07:20 AM                     1280x1024 at work  |  IP: Logged Bruce McGee Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1776 From: Asheville, NC USA...

I wanted to try and keep it around $1K and no more. I ended up buying a Dell Latitude D810 from the Dell Outlet (refurbished). Very nicely equipped, has incredible battery life, 1GB RAM, 60GB 7200RPM drive, 3 year warranty. Best part is there was no CRAP installed on it, just plain vanilla XP Home, no activation required. And Dell still gives you a real XP install CD, which almost nobody else does these days. The one thing I've decided I really don't like though is the WXGA screen resolution. WXGA is 1280 x 800, found on many notebooks in the $800-$1500 retail price range. I thought I could live with it, but it's really bugging me. I'm accustomed to using 1280 x 1024. 1280 x 800 is like a 4:3 display that's been matted to 16:9 (really 16:10). WXGA is like the bastard stepchild of screen resolutions. Bah. I'm still deciding if I'm going to keep this notebook. I think I'd be happier with a 1280 x 1024 4:3 display. There's no way I'm gonna fork over another grand to get WUXGA+ or whatever the highest widescreen notebook rez is these days.  |  IP: Logged
