    I currently have a Vostro 1500 with the XGA Screen w/ Truelife and I love the screen. However the 15 inch is too small and am returning it for a 17 inch. My question is am I okay with the standard XGA+LCD Display or do I need the WUXGA with Truelife for an extra $150? thanks

    It depends why 15 is to small. If to small that it is hard to read then get 17 w/WXGA. If does not show enough realestate then get 17 WUXGA. So I guess explain how to small.

    Is the Vostro WUXGA the same as the Inspiron 1920 x 1200? I am ordering an Inspiron and need more Real Estate space and dont know whether to get that or the cheaper 1440 x 900.

    Be prepared to wait a long time for the Inspiron 1720/1721 then! Good luck!
