    Agreed, the deals are great but the 1366x768 screen is a deal killer, no matter the price.

    hmm yeah it would be perfect if it had a higher resolution.

    So im kinda confused...does the 15" MSI GE620DX have 1080p? I read another page that said it still had 1366x768...any idea when this is coming out btw?

    and this mSATA option....can it be put onto the MSI or any laptop for that matter?

    hmmm, what to do lenovo with mSATA or MSI or another laptop. what should I do? Should I wait a few weeks/ a month before making a purchase maybe?

    Not that I am aware of.

    You can get 1600x900. For 1080p, you need to step up to the 15.6" range. Maybe the Sony Z as noted (13" screen).

    No. Neither the 1xxx (Arrandale) nor the 2xxx (Sandy Bridge) is equipped with one.

    There is a big typo in the beginning.

    The Envy 14 has AMD 6630 instead of 6330.

    It still shocks me that HP is still shipping such a horrible screen, yet they market the E14 to the Macbook crowd, who are used to great screens.

    The viewing angles are atrocious.

    The worst part is, they HAD the radiance display which, when compared with a macbook screen, blew it out of the water
