I'm planning on calling dell to place my order today. I've narrowed my selection down to the Inspiron 8600. I just can't decide on which display to get WSXGA+ or WUXGA.
WSXGA+ has a 1680x1050 resolution and is $100 more. WUXGA has a 1920x1200 resolution and is $200 more. My only concern is that 1920x1200 will be too high a resolution and hard to read. I'm not going with the standard WXGA cause I cannot fit 4 tables on that without overlap. Any advice? Thanks! |

[/ QUOTE ] I have the WUXGA on my laptop and you can easily fit on 4 tables of most sites and have it readable. I use mine midweek as work away from home and its nowhere near as good a my 21" flatscreen at home it is fine. Its small but not that small, Stars is probably the hardest to read but Party is ok. |

Which video card did you get? They offer a 32MB (standard) as well as a 64MB (+$53) and a 128MB (+$143). Any thoughts?

For the Inspiron 8600, the standard video card is: 64MB NVIDIAŽ GeForceTM FX Go5200 Go
I plan to upgrade to: 128MB ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600 PRO for $150 more (Canadian dollars). I know i can easily fit 4 tables on both the WSXGA+ and the WUXGA. I just don't know if WUXGA will be too small. Do you have any problems reading text when on the 2+2 forums with WUXGA? |

I have SXGA+ and there is a little vertical overlap. Its not too bad but not perfect either. That being you can play 4 games comfortably.
I love this laptop and just ordered one for mom |

I got the 128 one as I also play Call of Duty and other things sometimes, is perfect for stuff like that as well as dvd's in widescreen etc. I would suspect that the 64k would be fine if more for poker only.
It is quite a heavy laptop is the one down side I would say but I am happy with it. There is no vertical overlap at all on the one I have. |

Well I went ahead and bought it tonight with WSXGA+. Also got them to throw in a free 64MB USB Key. Always tell them you will give them the sale right there if they give you something free (be specific about what you want). Works every time =)
