The w700 series has a 17" screen, and I recommend the 17" WUXGA 400NIT TFT version, which has 1080 HD quality with 1920x1200 resolution and more.
Two versions of the extreme Intel quad core processor are available:
1. Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme mobile processor X9100 (3.06GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2)
2. Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme mobile processor QX9300 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 12MBL2)
Option 2 is more expensive, as the cache is twice as big AND it is a quad with 4 processors, but note the processor speed is slower than the 9100.
