    I'd rather have a Bluray Drive, and a RGB LED 1200p display. Plus a better graphics card.

    Plus its not clear if the display is Capacitive or Resistive there are two types of touchscreens, Capacitive is much better.

    I would think Resistive in this case. Not sure if there are 17" capacitive screens around. Also agree on waiting for a 5650 video to finally appear (it's on European site already).

    1080p screen would be better, however, 900p may actually be better for touchscreen due to default icon size. That said, 1080p screen is not even an option now (forget about the 1200p one) for non-touch model.
