    I am about to order one online but I don't know if I should or not. Since no REAL reviews are out yet, I don't know if it will live up to it's super hype. I really need a quality built laptop for school and home. The last thing I am worrying about is the screen size and resolution. I have been using 15inch 1440-800 resolution so I wonder how worse it could be.

    Badly my college does not offer .edu email for students, so I cannot directly apply for the student discount. I did send the manual verification paper to Dell, but still have not heard anything from them.
