It depends actually. Like Richard, I like/love the high res on my D600 - 1400x1050. I can live with a 12.1" 1024x768, but I don't think I can live with those new "Glare" LCDs which are so popular today. But between ultraportable and having a high res screen, I _will_ go back to a 12.1 cos of the weight. I used to have a Dell P166 MMX which weighed 3.2 Kgs before I bought this 'so-called' 2.2kg D600. Now, I know that even 2.2 is heavy. I'm a so-called road-warrior. I take my laptop nearly everywhere. (since I don't like leaving it in the car for fear of it getting stolen. There are reports of thieves using some kind of metal/battery detector, going around parking lots and unlocking the trunk! 2 Colleagues lost theirs that way.) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
