    im debating between f8sn-c1 or b1 and my biggest concern is the resolution size.
    can someone post pictures of the desktop screen with two different resolutions? :confused: (maybe with word open or something) I want to make sure that 1240x800 isn't too big for work/browsing

    The attached photo shows WXGA and WXGA+ 14.1" side by side. I find the extra real estate of WXGA+ useful.

    Better get the 1440x900 resolution. In case its too small, you can still change to 1240x800.

    out of curiosity, while on the issue of these two resolutions. how well does the wxga+ scale? im considering getting a new notebook at the end of the summer, but am concerned about certain games like age of conan that push the card, and may benefit from the wxga? so can someone with either the m50 or f8 with the wxga+ tell me how it runs at 1280x800?
