Nope, the U310 is also 720p. The low end ultrabooks, sub-$1000 MSRP all have 720p panels.

Given size and performance I think this is pretty good.

I LOVE Asian Girls.

I would trade out my 900p 13" for a 768p if I could. 900p on such a little display makes everything to tiny to read for old folks like me.

umustwait101 L999999999999999: Learner Member sinceJul 2010 Posts590 Reputation 150 Followers 0 + Give Rep	The screen on this is in general a bad screen. Low resolution, narrow viewing angles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4WfjOTd5zA The Vaio S looks better, tho it too does not have a very good screen. I'd say, at this price, it's a good deal, but I wouldn't pay much for this laptop.

Since these are refurbished I guess they would honour returns in case there are issues but how abt if I dont like the performance/looks etc.. will they return it easily or charge shipping / do an evaluation once they get the returned item ?

Funkorama L5: Journeyman Member sinceOct 2011 Posts781 Reputation 149 Followers 0 + Give Rep	I bought this ultrabook along with the free ps vita promotion. You will hate it with your guts at first, but the fan noise becomes natural. The battery life isn't spectacular either. It's nowhere near 7 hours. I actually like the keyboard and the finish is awesome too. At 442- it's a lukewarm deal for used.
