    Whats everyones thoughts on the "upcoming" 19inch Inspiron?
    Personally, i am happy with 17 but i know some photography men/women and other "display reliable" users think different. I hope Dell can manage and improve on some of their "display" issues with the 17inch screens but then again i consider that to be the minority of Inspiron owners. (mine is great) Whats your take?

    i have no interest in such a sized notebook. but for some that just need a lot of screen real estate and zero portability this would make sense. let's be clear though, this is no laptop, put it on your lap and you'll be crushed. it's a desktop notebook in the truest sense.

    I have no use for something that big and would have loved to had a 15 inch notebook with the specs my 9300 has for the price i paid, but at the time there was none.

    but thats just me if you dont move it much it would be nice to have as a DTR..

    I heard Dell was promoting it as the John Holmes special.

    A 19 inch one would be HUGE. You might as well just get a desktop, as it would be cheaper.

    Way too big. I have a Dell I6000 (15.4 inch widescreen) and I wish I had something smaller like a 14 widescreen display.
