Default I am not satisfied with my dell notebook.

Two days ago I bought Dell Latitude 820, WUXGA, 15,4'' and was not satisfied with the size of the screen. The tables on party are too small and I am not comfortable while playing poker. May be I did not get used to this screen size, cause I usually play on 24" Dell monitor. Will be a 17"" notebook really better from this point of view or there is no much difference between 15" and 17"? If 17" is really worse to sell my 15" notebook, what notebook will you advice me to buy? I usually play 4 tables on Party.

You're not really going to find a laptop with a bigger than 17" screen. I don't know what you want us to say as to whether there's "much difference between them"; The 17" has roughly (17/15)^2 the area.

If you really really needed more space, and really really needed portability, you could take two laptops with you everywhere you go and use MaxiVista. Seems a little silly, though.

This is smarter. Get an external 22in LCD monitor to hook it up with your laptop. Realize the bigger the laptop screen, the heavier it gets.

go into a store and look at the differences. I have never understood why people get laptops for poker.

If you really need something with a big screen that is semi portable check out the dell M2010.
