Notebook screens: 15" vs. 15.4" 684

I'm intrigued by the aspect ratio of the 15.4's, but am worried about the overall height. I went with a 19" LCD on my Dimension because I kept discovering that I seemed to want more and more vertical space whenever I viewed a document.

Does anyone have any time with both and is there any common preference to one or the other?

The notebook could be used for basically anything, including occasional java development, at home work, word processing, email, usenet posting, etc.

-- Having a dog that is a purebred does not qualify it for breeding. Dogs need to have several generations of clearances for various illnesses before being bred. If you are breeding dogs without taking care as to the genetic quality of the dog (again, being purebred is not enough), you are what is known as a "backyard breeder" and are part of the problem. Most of the congenital problems of present day dogs are traceable directly to backyard breeding. Spay or neuter your pet responsibly, and don't just think that you're somehow the exception and can breed a dog without taking the care described.
