:shock:

Someone must educate me on resolutions. How can a 17" screen have a resolution on 1920x1200 and a 19" screen only have a reso of 1440x900.

Its not unusual for laptop resolutions to have a higher resolution than the equivalent external monitor.

I expect it's probably just a matter of keeping laptops as portable as possible while still offering HD resolutions and above as a feature.

What bass bin said, that's exactly it. 650$ sounds right for that, since i bought my Acer 5740 with an i7 620M, 4 GB DDR3 and an HD5650

That sounds like a $1400 laptop if it were new. I would try to get more for it.

That sounds about right. IIRC, that exact laptop you're describing was about 1100 dollars back when I was laptop shopping, and that was almost 2 years ago.

Hell no, not anymore. Look at the Asus G73Jh. I think the retail price of it is 1300-1400. I don't know for sure since it's apparently out of stock.

O wow alright I stand corrected if that really is 1300-1400. I guess I didn't realise laptop graphics had progressed that far. Certainly the core 2 duo he has is dated but I was thinking an 8800 or 9800 was a premium laptop card still. Plus I bought an XPS M1530 for 1500 two years ago. That had a core 2 duo at 2.2 and an 8600m gt. It cost $1500 :(

I bought that exact same laptop a little under 2 years ago. :P My processor was 2.5 GHz though. Mine's sitting under my bed, broken. :(

Ya it sucks. The next laptop I buy won't cost more than $500 w/ one year warranty. They are not meant to do intensive tasks. Paying $1500 (or over $3000) for a laptop just doesn't make a lot of sense to me...unless you are always travelling and need something powerful on the road.

Oh btw did your warranty expire because I got a 3 year so I am still rocking that. Granted that cost another $200 or something ridiculous. I did get a free new hard drive after mine died though.
