Just something to think about regarding screen resolution. 

I had a 15" wide-screen Dell laptop that had a native resolution of
1920x1200. The text was so small that I really wished I had not "upgraded"
to the higher resolution video card/display. The extra screen real estate
was nice but my eyes weren't happy. :)
