Whoo-hoo New Laptop

I am finally going to upgrade trusty 8200 Dell Inspiron laptop.   I bought it back in 2002 or 2003 and thanks to maximizing the RAM and Linux I've been able to use it for years.  I'm going to miss the 15" 1600x1200 screen that it had. Thanks to HD TV high resolution screens are a thing of the past, and getting high resolution on a small (~15") screen is all but impossible ( HDTV Ruined LCDs ).  However, I did manage to find the Dell Studio 16 XPS with 1920x1080 resolution.
