    Is the WXGA+ an UltraSharp screen as well? How would the two screens compare? I'm trying to decide between a few different models now, and the screen is important to me.

    Those two screens are prefect. But, it comes down to how big of a footprint you want. Base your notebook on that.

    Dell refers to all of their high resolution screens as 'UltraSharp', their glossy screen is called 'TruLife'. WXGA+ is pretty much the highest resolution a 14.1" comes in and WSXGA+ is the medium resolution and more common higher resolution screen found on some 15.4" sceen size laptops. You will get more real estate on a 15.4 WSXGA+ screen. What do you intend to do with this laptop and how much will you be carrying it around? Those two questions are a good place to start when chosing between screen sizes.
