Once you get used to a high res LCD you'll never go back.

Not if you're a businessman in his 50's with glasses. If a typical computer user like the people in my dad's office usually use their computers at resolutions of no more than 1000xwhatever (on 17 and 19 inch monitors), there's no way they'll be doing 1920x1600 on a 15".

Frankly I'm amazed that nobody is suprised about this. I find it incredible that this is what Dell would sell to a business. These laptops have less desktop surface area than a regular 15" screen, yet the resolution is the same as the Samsung 21" LCDs. This makes no sense to me.
