AVG, may I ask if you have ever heard of the concept of scaling? Font scaling? Image scaling? If you can't find you glasses use bigger fonts or the zoom feature most browsers have.

Things are only too small at high resolutions if you don't know how to use your computer. Laser printers are at 1200 dots per inch, do you find it hard to read laser printouts?

May I ask, have you ever actually USED it? DPI scaling in every modern OS looks like absolute shit.]]>Apr 21st 2009 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/
Yes...? Most laptops have a 1280x800 screen, some 15.4"ers even have 1650x1050.

In any case 768 is too small.]]>Apr 21st 2009 3:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/Apr 21st 2009 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/Apr 22nd 2009 1:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/Apr 21st 2009 12:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/Apr 21st 2009 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/

it DOES seem to say a 1080p resolution option, so im guessing 1900x1080 is there.

it looks like this is a good alternative to the Studio XPS 16 until that updates its options as well. ]]>Apr 21st 2009 10:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/Apr 21st 2009 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/Apr 21st 2009 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/
Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? I'm fine with calling people out on grammar, but doing so with grammatical mistakes of your own (even if they are ironic or sarcastic) is piss annoying. Take pride in your pretension, people, or don't even bother.

(even if they are ironic or sarcastic)
By the way, it is funny how you saw the joke but the desire to post a critique clouded your judgment. Tisk tisk ]]>Apr 21st 2009 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/21/dell-rolls-out-updated-studio-15-laptop/
