Screen size does not directly relate to Screen Resolution. You can have a 17' widescreen with 1920x1200 resolution on a laptop, or on any size screen for that matter.

Now if only they could put two 4870 X2's in CrossfireX on that laptop. The day they do that is the day pigs learn to fly.

It's funny how some people completely misunderstand the purpose of a laptop.

The higher the resolution, the more useful crossfire would be. I know my Dell XPS m1710 would be much better off with two 6800 ultras (ah, if only!) when I try and run... Well... ANYTHING at this beautiful 1920x1200.
