I'm looking for a high resolution 17"+ laptop for the missus, and finding something that has a touch display with better resolution than 1920x1080 and a 4th generation i7 is surprisingly hard. Weight is not an issue ...
Any ideas?

I found some listed on USA sites but they were like 1200 + USD
And you are right they are hard to find, most are lower grade system for email, light games and facebook viewing.
I guess that is all people do with them any more.

I may have to go for an external screen, but I have trouble convincing the missus that this is a good idea ...

if you use an external screen then you may as well go for a desktop and save allot of money and get more in the system.

Hi Espen,
I was just "window-shopping" today, looking at reviews of large-screen note-books on EnGadget: [^].
I am definitely not to going to buy a laptop, but if somebody else paid for it !, I'd like something like this: [^].

Looks nice, apart from the screen resolution - 1920x1080

I think that's going to be difficult requirement to meet, Espen. IIRC, Dell is one of the few vendors that still sell 1920x1200 laptops.

Which is why I was hoping somebody here on the forum could find something I'm strugling to locate ...

You haven't described the missus; if I'm going to trade a laptop for her, I'll need more information.

I think his last sentence "Weight is not an issue ..." says it all.

I obviously meant that I wouldn't mind if the laptop weighs > 4kg.
And, no, I will not try to post a description of the missus - it would only come across as shameless bragging

I read that as "Weight is not the issue ..." , i.e. not reason he wants to part with her. 
It could be the small floppies though.

If you would consider going down to 15.6" you could have a look at Dell Precision M3800[^]. It has a resolution of 3200x1800.
Oddly enough, their 17" computers are limited to 1920x1080.

Looks promising - I think I'll have another go at convincing the missus that an external screen isn't such a bad idea ...

Right, it looks like I'm going to have some real problems the next time I need a new laptop ...

They see nothing about cutting the cost for we the consumers, wanting to buy copies of W8.1.
I hope there their cost cutting plan goes unnoticed. :p

Yeah, it frustrates me when the most expensive component in my latest computer build is a copy of Windows 8.1 Pro OEM...

The Windows monopoly won't die in my lifetime because they can always give away the software and then charge for expansions, templates, bonus features...if it comes to that. They still own the business market and have an insane percentage of the home computing market...plus they're making a charage on mobile fronts which has caught my eye with the Surface 2 Pro. A price drop is always welcome though!
