As a primary portable machine, the vertical resolution to me is important, nothing worse that trying to work in a 800 high screen, so a high resolution laptop will be my main primary machine.

However, might consider a tablet next (waiting to see what Google or HTC come up with), just for casual browsing etc. while lying in bed etc.

I know one thing for sure.......it wont be a iPad!
