That crappy display is a total deal breaker. Give me the option for a 1440x900 IPS display and I'd order right now. And I'd pay another $250 for that screen.
The display, and the graphics card. Although I only know of two laptops that use IPS displays, we can hardly count that one as a fault, but the resolution is pretty bad on this thing. I have a 1920x1080 display on my 15' laptop and I love it.
Right on, I buy laptops for my own use strictly based on display reviews. I can live with a lower end CPU and I can upgrade to SSD myself later with the drive I choose. The display is the #1 dealbreaker for me.
Otherwise this machine actually really appeals to me.
I'm absolutely sick of seeing otherwise fantastic laptops with a horrid 1366x768 screen. I don't blame the manufacturers, I blame the consumers. If we voted with our wallets, we could have eradicated the dreaded 768 panel. HP offers 1080 upgrade on some of their new Pavilion 15" and 17" laptops for $150 extra.
My 11.6 inch $400 Acer laptop is a good place for a cheap 1366x768 screen. Anything larger *demands* more pixels.
I've got an >10 year old Gateway laptop with a 1280x1024 screen and have used several (now old) dells with 1920x1200 screens. Those were the good ol' days...
You guys need to chill, the 1600 x 900 display is coming and that's what I'm waiting for to replace my trusted M1330 that has seen much tough use the finish has worn off the left mouse button:
