Lenovo ThinkPads are sweet... I'll probably buy one when my VAIO dies / becomes obsolete...
Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
im an idiot. thought that asus i posted had a backlit keyboard for some reason. why do all these laptops that cost $800 or more not having fucking backlit keyboards? so retarded. guess i just have to get the dell xps
. . .
Why do you even NEED a backlit keyboard? as soon as the monitor is on it illuminates the keys, not to mention you shouldn't be looking at your keyboard when typing...

Not always, dude. On a black notebook with a black keyboard, the keys might as well be invisible and sometimes you DO have to look for those keys.FloppY_ wrote:

would it be dumb to get 1920x1080 on a 15" or should i just spend a little less for 1366x768?
whats a "little less"? id want it, though if its hooked up to an external monitor most of the time it might not be needed
Personally I love the 1080p LED screen on my 15" laptop. But it depends how much extra it is.
Depends on if the price is a huge difference, but the higher the resolution, the better off you are. Improves productivity by a long shot.gurdeep wrote:

think it was like $100 or $150 more. just wasnt sure if it was pointless/dumb to get it on a 15" screen. dont believe ive ever used a laptop with 1920x1080
the pixel density is amazing on a 1920x1080 15" screen
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
You'll never regret spending the money, trust me. My girlfriend's laptop before her current was a 1280x1024... horrible. Now she has 1366x768 and that's not too bad, but a 1920x1080 makes all the difference in the world. You can really take advantage of Window 7's aero snap then.
noice, ty
Anytime.
yep, what others said. go big or go home, 1080 is the shiz
