Re: (screen-) size... (was 770 price cut)
<<I just can't take it anymore: What's the point of having a 14" or 15"
display on a notebook anyway?
Doesn't anybody care about size, weight and battery life anymore?
I have a TP 750, which I will replace with a 560X as soon as prices have
come down a bit (or rather a lot, actually).

Different people need different capabilities. I use my TP as a desktop
replacement, and I am doing large scale software development. I find
a 1024 xs 768 screen pretty indispensible, and cannot live with 800 x 600.
I don't mind the couple of pounds extra weight.
Obviously we all would like it if we could get a notebook that was both
light and acceptably powerful, but so far we have not had this option.
Faced with the choice some will choose power, some weight, and isn't
it nice that typical vendors lines of notebooks allow the choice?
I also really welcome a screen that can be used in bright light. The 770
is the first screen that can really be used in bright light successfully
(it is MUCH brighter than any previous TP screen).
Again, there is no need to get to the stage of "I can't take it any more".
Different folks have different requirements. My MOST important piece of
advice on notebooks is try before you buy. If you are happy with a smaller
lower resolution screen, go for it, if like me, screen size and brightness
and resolution are paramount factors in the choice of a notebook, then you
will make a different choice.
