It depends actually. Like Richard, I like/love the high res on my D600 - |
| 7 |
1400x1050. |

I can live with a 12.1" 1024x768, but I don't think I can live with |
| 10 |
those new "Glare" LCDs which are so popular today. |

But between ultraportable and having a high res screen, I _will_ go back |
| 13 |
to a 12.1 cos of the weight. |

I used to have a Dell P166 MMX which weighed 3.2 Kgs before I bought |
| 16 |
this 'so-called' 2.2kg D600. Now, I know that even 2.2 is heavy. |

I'm a so-called road-warrior. I take my laptop nearly everywhere. (since |
| 19 |
I don't like leaving it in the car for fear of it getting stolen. There |
| 20 |
are reports of thieves using some kind of metal/battery detector, going |
| 21 |
around parking lots and unlocking the trunk! 2 Colleagues lost theirs |
| 22 |
that way.) |
