[Eder]

Buying new laptop but havnt kept up in latest technology. I have a few questions, hope someone can spare a few mins to share their opinions...thanks in advance!

1. 17 inch Wide Screen XGA+ Display [Included in Price]

17 inch UltraSharp™ Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife™ cost $150 CAN more ...worth it?

2.533 MHz ram or is 667MHz much better ($300CAN more for 2 GB)

3.Is 7200 SATA HD big diff from 5400 SATA HD?

4. 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 Hypermemory -
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7900 GS $310 CAN more ...worth it? I like nice display...


5.Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7200 (2.00GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667 MHz FSB) $180 CAN
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7400 (2.16GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 667 MHz FSB) $330 CAN
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5200 (2MB Cache/1.6GHz/533MHz FSB) Included in Price

Upgrade here worth it? Thanks Thanks!!

The biggest bang for your buck would be the proc upgrade to the T7200. Followed by the faster RAM (depending on the ram they actually use its hard to say how much this would improve performance).

I wouldn't worry about the graphics card unless you're a serious gamer (most don't use laptops).

Most people will tell you to get the 7200 RPM drive. Personally I've never felt faster hard drives were worth paying more for, but ALOT of people disagree with me on this :0) Although you should be aware that the 7200 RPM drive will drain the battery faster.

I don't know anything about displays so I'll let someone comment on that.

UXGA display allows you to 4 table without any overlap.

If you play on Stars and FTP, you can resize the tables, but you may find this bothersome.

I have WUXGA, and gladly paid the little bit extra for the better resolution.

Just keep in mind that text at WUXGA will be smaller. This is really only an issue for people who have poor eyesight or can't stand small text. For poker or gaming the higher resolution is better as you can fit more tables/detail on your screen.
