5320 vs 3880 - Page 2

Also to add:

Like pplepiew said, the screen is amazing and I agree with him, I'd also definitely go with the WUXGA.

I decided to go WUXGA. Even if it cost me $100. I will get used to it. Besides it will be plugged into a monitor most of the time. Darn, I'm going to have to invest in a flat panel monitor and get rid of this Dell 17" monitor. I am trying to reduce the amount of desk space the computer and periphs take up.

What are your biggest gripes ecliptk?

honestly, I've tried to find something wrong with this laptop. I know I have a 30 day no questions asked return policy so I am trying desperately to find a problem, it's just there are none on mine. The screen is amazing, not 1 dead pixel, at first it was small but now it's perfect. As far as performance goes, I've ran my laptop through a lot of stuff; all the benchmark programs, games, etc... Don't have a single complaint, this laptop does not get hot at all, of course like any other laptop it will get warm, but never hot. When gaming, you can hear the fans, when just browsing the internet you can't. I do actually have one complaint, my desktop has 250gigs of space whereas my laptop only has 80. However, that is an easy solution, I'll just pick up an external drive to store all of my movies and music on it. Then whenever I want to watch something or listen to some music I can just transfer it onto my laptop. As far as looks go, this is a very good looking laptop, it has a very very professional look and the build quality impresses me. This is my first laptop and I can't say nothing but good things about it. If you have any other questions let me know,

Something that people have pointed out before, is the size of the space button, I don't have a problem with it but it may take some getting used too.

For a picture of the WUXGA screen (best I could get with my digital camera) go here: http://www.xnportal.net/sager/background2.JPG

If that pic is at native resolution (1920x1200) then I'm sold. It's not that small because when I have it maxed out it fits within the browser window, so I can imagine it being even slightly bigger.

I'm sold. Now I just need the cash... after the 1st.

The picture itself is 1600x1200 which is what my digital camera takes. But the screen size on that picture is 1920x1200 (native resolution). It was taken at a reasonable distance that the average person would sit away from. The screen quality cannot really be seen in that as my digital camera isn't very good, but the size of things you can see from that. But as far as fitting things, I can max websites, open a word document full size, and have some IM windows up along with winamp. It really is a nice setup and I don't think I'd ever go less than 1920x1200 on a laptop after having this one

I'm greatful I've had all this time to debate these things. I was bound and determined that I'd get XXX laptop a few months ago. Then I changed my mind and realized that YYY laptp was much better for me. Now I've thought I was set on one or another even since then (I have a habit of wanting the decision to be made so I don't have to worry about it)... but looking back, I'm considering much better machines now than when I started. I was going to buy a $1000 Acer at first

PC Torque's site currently has only the 2nd battery available. Will they offer a HD bracket for the media bay soon or is there a workaround available now?
This could decide it for me whether I get the 5320 or 3880.
