    I am interested in the M70SA-B1, and am wondering if this resolution will be good enough for HD viewing. I'm not a gamer, so I would be using the laptop for the multimedia/media center purposes mainly. I can't seem to find a higher resolution for this laptop unless they take out the TV tuner, which I want. (Newegg has a 1920x1200, but no TV tuner). So will I be kicking myself if I order the laptop with the 1440x900 resolution?

    In the end, that's going to be up to you and how picky you are about your HD viewing experience. You can always get an aftermarket USB TV tuner.
