I'm looking at buying my first laptop. I've got a pretty good idea of what hardware (CPU, GPU, etc.) I want, but I have almost no experience working with laptops, so I need advice in choosing my display. (once I've done that, I'll be able to finalize the hardware choices).
I'm primarily using the laptop as a backup for my desktop, so that I can have my computer with me w/o having to take my desktop. (such as when I go home for the holidays, or spend the summer across country at an internship or something).
Hopefully that's clear... anyway.
what screen sizes do people find work well in a variety of applications? (i.e. for a laptop that will sometimes be used as a Desktop and sometimes as a highly mobile PC, what screen size is best?)
and what resolution pairs best with what screen size? (i.e. for a 15.4" screen is XGA (1024x768) good, or should I try and find a WSXGA+ screen?)
thanks!
