Brian, you've mentioned in many threads (I know becuase I'm looking forward to buying a N6010) that Fujitsu's CrystalView is the maybe best display in the industry. Well, yesterday I had a chance to see the 17" CrystalView (I assume at 1440x900 resolution) and all I can say is, you're absolutely right.
t3x, I would recommend that you check out the display in person at a Fry's or Best Buy or wherever. The quality is absolutely breathtaking. And the resolution is just fine. My desktop system right now runs at 1280x960 on a 19" monitor, which I find to be a very comfortable and productive resolution. 1440x900 on a 17" widescreen LCD panel is 5% more pixels in a slightly smaller physical area--in other words, about the same thing in a different shape.
There are some advantages to the 1440x900 format. I've heard people mention that some games will not run at higher resolutions than 1440, either causing the image to become blurry from being scaled up to fit the higher physical resolution, or resulting in a smaller image in the middle of the screen. Plus there's the fact that the graphics card will have to work much harder to drive a 1920x1200 display, which has close to twice the number of pixels (speaking of games of course--in regular Windows use, it's not an issue).
The higher resolutions would be handy if your eyesight is good, and if you really need to see a ton of information at a time, and I do mean a ton. If you just want to see "a lot", and not "a ton", then I think the 1440x900 will be just fine for you. And it looks beautiful.
