I've been looking for a labtop for quite some time. Haven't found anything in stores so I gave in and customized a Dell. What do you all think of it?

Are you sure you want a monitor resolution that large? I think you would have trouble seeing anything on the screen.

1680x1050 on 15.4" is perfectly normal.

I have a hard time viewing 1440x whatever on a monitor that size. I know Dell offers lower resolution monitors. And remember, it's going to look like shit if you use any resolution other then the recomended one.

Holy crap, 187 posts and 56 threads started.

On topic, shouldn't your lab be paying for its own computers? What kind of lab is it? Hard to give advice when we have so little information.

I thought they were supposed to be called 'notebooks' nowadays? I say 'laptop'. What the fuck is 'labtop'?
