    Are there any 1920x1200 17" panels left?

    I checked Alienware today, and I see Dell has decided to switch the m17x to the 1920x1080 17.3" panel. The only laptop I'm aware of now that ships with 1920x1200 is the MacBook Pro 17.

    Are there any other laptop makers doing 1920x1200 that I may have missed?

    Are you talking about gaming laptops? The Dell Precision M6500 and HP Elitebook 8740W offer LED 1920x1200p screens.

    There's also the Lenovo ThinkPad W701ds, but yes, except for business laptops and Apple, there are very few such displays left.

    I think even Dell's upcoming M6600 will be 16:9.

    The M17x R2 is still on sale with the 1920x1200 RGB panel, isn't it? If you can cope with the older technology, that is...
