CompAmerica kicks out 20-inch Tiger Shark 9500 x2 laptop

CompAmerica is taking its Tiger Shark lineup to new heights by introducing the 9500 x2, which joins the elite (and ginormous) crowd of ridiculously large 20-inch laptops. While not directly dubbed as yet another "most powerful laptop on Earth," this behemoth packs quite a wallop, including an AMD Turion 64 X2 processor, WSXGA+ LCD, dual NVIDIA GeForce Go 7950 GTX or Quadro FX 2500M SLI graphics sets, 512MB to 2GB of DDR3 RAM, up to 120GB SATA hard drive, a built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam, optional TV tuner, and a dual-layer DVD burner. Additionally, you'll find a 7-in-1 flash card reader, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g, full sized keyboard with number pad, four speaker sound system (including a "subwoofer"), front panel audio controls, DVI / S-Video / composite outs, FireWire, serial port, audio output, and five USB 2.0 ports to round things out. This 15-pound machine starts out around $3,399, but you can tweak this bad boy 'til your credit card cries uncle if you so desire.

we all know this is going to degrade into comments about how the size is too big, too heavy, blah, blah, blah. So all I ask is for those of you so inclined to consider for a moment there are people who genuinely have use for and need bigger screens - say graphic artists - who also travel and would go blind on a 14 in screen.

However - what I dont understand is why a 20 inch screen that is only WSXGA+ !!! I can get higher (WUXGA) in 17 inch from all the big makers.

Resolution choice for 20" monitors should be up to QWUXGA (3840x2400), not just lamentable wsxga+.
