    Im still not tracking on the whole screen resolution deal with the m14x.

    If I was somewhere near a store I would go in and look at the difference between the two. Im currently doing my computing on a 1280 x 800, is that a huge difference from 1300 x 720? Also is there a reference that could show the difference of resolution sizes in a screen shot?

    I found this.
    One example is that in Excel 2007, the 1366x768 screen completely shows cells A1 through U25, while the 1600x900 screen completely shows cells A1 through X32.

    Remember that even though things are smaller by default on the 1600x900, you can set fonts and interface items (like the start bar) to be bigger.
