Hi, my experiences are different than Nicholas'. As a coder, I needed something larger than XGA to be effective.

It depends on what you want to use your computer for. Keep in mind though that I am spoiled by my desktop setup: a 24" widescreen, ~1900 x 1200 AND a 21" 1600 x 1200.

I currently have a 14" Inspiron 630m. About a month ago I sold my 12" Inspiron 700m...

If I were to go 14" as my only PC, I would get the SXGA (or whatever Nicholas said). I had that on my 600m and that would be more of a desktop replacment for me.

If you are just going to take notes, casually browse the web, and answer e-mails, then the smaller screen is OK. That's why I have the smaller screen on my 630m laptop.

Lastly, if you will seldom take it with you, or if you will take the laptop by itself without any large books, then the 15.4" ones would be OK. I usually bring books with me (thick ones) which is why I went 14".

I probably confused you more in this post -- sorry, my mind isn't functioning well this morning. If you want to call and chat about it

I have had laptops in all of these resolutions, so my experiences might be of some value.
