seems that most decent laptops will do either then, cool.
I bought someone a laptop and when it arrived was horrifed to find it was a widescreen as I'd misread the screen type. So a 15" widescreen is actually quite small vertically and the default res seems to only be 600 pixels tall (as in 800x600 equivalent) just a lot wider (it might have been 768 tall actually). Anyway, this just made everything tiny, and for what, the ability to play a few DVDs or browse the web wider, even though most web pages are designed to fit in an 800x600 screen and thus aren't very wide, and Word docs look dumb with all that white space etc etc.
Sorry to slag them off, but tell me why are they cool? I must be missing the point somewhere.
