That seems pretty reasonable for a 17 inch.

Yeah, I'm no fan of a laptop either. Mostly you get the worst components only all integrated. Still though, if you need mobility and not gaming a laptop provides an answer. I've thought about getting a laptop or Tablet for web surfing at hotspots. It's way down on my list though.

You may want reading glasses with 1900x1200 on a 17". I've seen those on clients and almost nobody runs them on native resolution..
