    I've just got this baby and truly I'm amazed with the performance. The only thing lacking is screen. I've switched from Fully-loaded HP dv9700 which had 17" 1600x1050 resolution, and 15.6 with 1378x778 just kills me.

    Do know how expensive would be to upgrade it to 1600x1050? I've called the link from Sunny's review but they said that it's out of stock.

    Do you know any other places that could get it ?

    And of course it voids the warranty right?

    Well, I "temporarily" (for like 4 months) went from a 17" 1920x1200 to 16" 1366x768. At first I hated it. To be honest, I'm used to it now. I'd say wait a while and don't void warranty and see if you get used to it too.

    Yeah, probably it's the shock of not being able to put 3 windows on your screen all at once... I'll give a little more time.
