Envy 17 with Sandy Bridge

I really doubt if a higher resolution will inhibit your scrolling given the miniscule prints and promised visits to the optician. Is it worth spending more for a high resolution screen, given in a 15 inch screen, its really hard to differentiate between either of the two(720p and 1080p) given the low surface area. I may infact go for a 17 but with a 720p. Keeps the budget to less than 60 grands.

Anything below 1680 X 1050 SUX. Since laptop displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9 therefore any laptop having a vertical resolution below 1024 will simply look crappy!!!!

a 15 inch display will use 900 as the vertical resolution which is even lesser than old 17 inch desktop displays so it will definately look pathetic!!!!

Wow I can't believe this. In UAE its costing 100$ less than US

I will ask someone from dubai to get it. I don't need customer support because I myself can technically solve most of the software related issues

USD 100 is only about INR 4.5k. Not a great saving I must say. But if you can get it from there, that's good since it is still not available in India.

Great in the sense. I thought that in US the price of these products are lowest in the world. But when I went into this UAE site i was surprised. So getting something 100$ less compared to US price is a big deal. If it would have been available in indian market it would have costed 400-500 US$ more, that extra cash will definately BOIL my blood
