    Is the 1920X1280 really hard to see? I'm trying to decide between that and the 1440X900. Thanks!

    My last machine had a 15.4" 1920 x 1200 and it was a bit too small.

    Personally I think that 1680 x 1050 is the best resolution for a 15.4" screen, but between 1440 x 900 and 1920 x 1200, I'd still go for 1920 x 1200. If you're going to get a 15.4" machine, you might as well make use of it; you can also turn up icon resolution and all.

    1440x900 and the size is perfect (I do a lot of Photoshop work).
