Then again, my last laptop was a 15.4" with a 1900x1200 screen.

My eyes would hurt so much with a 1080p 15.4" screen. The dot pitch would be tiny!

17" @ 1680x1050 is about perfect for me.

Which is kinda the point. You can always turn font sizes up, but you can't get more detail out of huge pixels.

Without a doubt, thinkpad.

Where are you getting that deal on the Thinkpad? That laptop is matching my requirements as well and the equivalent model on newegg is $1200.00
