My main highlight for this laptop is the resolution of 1920x1200. The cpu is pretty good as well. I have read up on the FX 1600M and it is pretty decent. I don't know if it is sufficient to handle starcraft II. This laptop has hdmi output. 7200 rpm hd. Please let me know if this is a good deal. I use it for mainly cs4, and perhaps some gaming when starcraft II is available. Does anyone have this particular model? Any opinion/suggestion is welcome. Thanks!
P.S. which has a better user experience if comparing a 17" to a 15" both with 1920x1200. I would assume on a 15" with such resolution would be more vivid and vibrant.
