Big Screen 17.3" laptop Experience, pls.

[Aqua Pro Builder]

I anm thinking of getting a laptop. However, I worried abotut he 7.3lb weight and the size.

Would it be too luggish to travel around? I travelled mosty by plane and a lot of walking too. What do you think?

If I go 15.6", they are 5.6lb but resolutionis only 133? x ???
which I feel may be too limited to read Excel pricelist and photoshop. What do you think?

many tanks. Oops...thanks I mean.

throw a 10lb barbell in a bag and walk around with it for a few days, lol. if you hate that, then you'll probably hate 7.3 lbs too.

My Dell E6510 is 15.6" and resolution is 1920x1080. At 5.52lbs, at long distances it can get quite heavy with the rest of the gadgets I'm carrying, much better when I use my backpack using both shoulder straps.

unless you are flying business you are never going to be able to open that big of a laptop on a plane. even my 14 inch screen doesnt fit when the idiot infront of me reclines in coach.

It's very tiring and frustrating lugging around a large and heavy laptop, especially when you're already tired. For me the bigger screen does not compensate.

Yes but you're young and still in high school..Wingo is...err...not. lol

Wingo - you need a small travel bag with wheels that you can strap the laptop to and roll it behind you

Actually, if you start carrying around a 20lb weight in a bag for a little while, when you do get the 17" laptop it will feel pretty light :splitspin.

i5 is nice and I had the 13 inch one which I think is the core 2 Duo.
I love the battery-no PC based machine come close-10 hrs! Never have to worry about battery on the trip.

Wingo, the only computer I ever returned was an Acer. It was a great machine, but the weight was so excessive I couldn't see keeping it. I found it heavy just using it while on my lap.......not even carrying it around!

My 15" Dell is super thin and very light.

Good luck with your new toy.
