    I have two 8450w laptops. The M540 has the hiRes screen 1920x1080 and the M560 has the 1600x900. If I can only keep one, is it worth the effort to swap the video from the M540 to M560. Can that be done easily?

    I read the M560 is only about 4% faster than the M540. So, in the real world, it that even noticeable.

    I like the hiRes video, should I just go ahead and keep the M540?
