Hi,

	seeing shots of *BSD gurus, I realised most of them had laptops.
	for curiosity I went to DELL's homepage to check their hightest
products (specificaly Inspiron 8200).
	a weird thing I noticed was that they claim resolution up to 1600x1200
on their LCD screen...

	using Inspiron 8200, 8100 or 4100, can we get "real" 1400x1050 on the
LCD ?
	I mean, is it 1400x1050 on the LCD or does it use some kinda virtual
desktop with 1024x768 visible and scrollable with the mouse ?
	
	the reason is that I've never wanted to buy a laptop because a screen
of 1024 is really too tiny (for me)... but if I'd be able to have
1400x1050 entirelly on the LCD, I would thing twice... :)

thanks for the answers,
	Jo
