Anyone is using a Dell Laptop?? Need screen advice!

SM

Hi All,

I am on the verge of buying a laptop so I can preview images during shoots, and I will also use it when I am out on location to edit and sort images. My main thing is that a lot of times this is outdoors and I hate those glossy screens because of the amout of glare they produce.

Here is the question, I am undecided between:

Dell Sudio XPS 16 which has the following screen:
Edge-to-Edge HD+ Widescreen 15.6 inch WLED LCD (1600x900) W/2.0 MP

or

Dell Studio 17 which has the following screen:
17.3” HD+ (900p) Bright LED Display with TrueLife™ and Camera

Given here is the order of importance:
#1 Display (ideally must be non glossy)
#2 Performance (needs to be able to open 21MP images quickly and not crash when using Lightroom and Photoshop 4)

Don;t want to spend more than $1500 hence I am looking at the dells, otherwise I read somewhere that the Lenuovo has a better screen, anyone know how the Lenuovo screen compares to the dell laptop screens??

Thanks so much!!

AFAIK...WUXGA: 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 is the highest resolution available for laptops.

This is mine...no longer available unless you can find it used. Glad I have it.

The XPS 16 looks like a good choice configured properly.
