That kind of poses an interesting question. If you're looking for a high performance system that you can take on the road that is one thing. If you're looking for a portable system you can use as a workstation now and then that is another thing. If the thing is FAST and LOTS of ram then your into gamer systems or something not much lighter than an Osborne.
1920x1080 ends up with 129.58 pixels/inch which is not that bad until you run the video out to your 20+" external screen.
I have used most of the major brands over the years and found in the last few years that ASUS seems to be doing a good job of building nice laptops. I have been using an ASUS zenbook prime for something like 5 years now and it still is performing well where most others have started to pack it in after a couple of years.
Asus is generally good, although they have a tendancy to NOT put US keyboards on their laptops in canada anymore. That is awful. They are also not nearly as durrable as a thinkpad. They used to make durable ones (like th R1F for example. That thing was a tank). -- Len Sorensen
