I still say that if you are going to be working on this all the time get the bigger screen. Other option is to get a docking station and a monitor.

It really all depends on what you want to do with it... If you plan on going on any trip and watching dvds a small screen is better. a 15 or 17 inch screen on an airplane is useless You can't sit it in front of you and watch the movie.. you have to kind of keep it in your lap 3/4's open .. pretty annoying.

 

[c3web]

most people now a days keep their laptop parked on their desk... if you are going to be taking it to class.. you are much better off with a smaller screen. Ideally you should go with a wide screen. most of the time you are doing stuff you are wishing your screen was wider not taller. 14inch wide screen is about the same as a 12 or 13inch normal screen in height. Weight is also very important. I do a lot of traveling and the next laptop I get is going to be 14inch or smaller.. No point in lugging around a 17inch screen. Plus.. you can simply hook up a monitor and keyboard to it at your house.

 

[c3web]

another important thing is, you want to make sure the keyboard is full size. If you get a 12 inch normal screen laptop it will have a small keyboard and you wont' be able to type well unless you have small hands.

[Mr. dB]

wow you must carry your laptops alot.. 17 luxury? why not just strap a desktop to your back and walk around with it..

dont get anything bigger than 14 inches.. you'll be sorry bran

You misunderstand me. By "17" is luxury" I mean that it's an unnecessary expense.
