    in the current discount on hp dv9700t i have to choose between adding

    1*17.0" WSXGA+ High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1680 x 1050) for extra 50$ but i read here in the forum alot that there is no diffrence between wxga and wsxga although i saw lately dv6700t and i hate its screen something like washed up! :mad:

    2*50% OFF 320GB 5400RPM SATA Dual Hard Drive (160GB x 2)!! but i think i can get external hard drive! :D

    so what do u think guys?

    The difference between WXGA and WSXGA+ is the WSXGA will have more screen real estate. I would definitely go for the screen, especially as you are buying a 17" notebook. Remember, you can always add a hard disk later (or get an external); you can't switch screens. Go to the store and see the difference and get the one that you prefer.
