    I'm going to start off by annoying some..
    Can anybody tell me if the latest batch of screens are LG or Samsung or is it still a lottery, that is if you just recently got your 1520.
    If chose a higher resolution screen (1680x1050), can I go back to 1280x800...what mean is, I prefer 1280x800 but for video editing and Photoshop I need 1680x1050), so can I switch between them if I configure it with the higher resolution? Also, which screen resolutions are having graininess?

    Do I need Bluetooh, cause I don't have a cell phone?

    Anybody got the Color Coordinated Bags - any good?

    :confused: :D :D

    If you choose a higher resolution you can switch to a lower resolution (and back) via the windows display settings. Bluetooth isn't necessary at all, only get it if you know that you'll be using it. I think most people don't fully utilize bluetooth and that for whatever they do using it, there is an alternative (e.g. through usb)

    If bluetooth is not too expensive or even given free (as when I bought it) you should get one. You might get a cell phone which has bluetooth and you want to sync it with your notebook, USB cables are about 20€ for any phone.
