    I'm looking for a 17inch with a great look, build , power, & most importantly, screen.

    Thanks. :)

    The new FW has a 16:9 ratio 16.1 in screen. It's got the new Centrino 2 processor, which is faster and more energy efficient. You can take that or wait till Sony refresh the rest of their lineup.

    Are you looking at Sonys in particular or all Brands?

    If you are looking at all brands, please head to to the "What notebook should I buy?" forum and fill out the FAQ.
