first laptop with 16" lcd

Actually Sony used to have a couple of 16.1" models a few years ago. That was before the 15.4" and WXGA came out so the aspect ratio was still 4:3

I like the larger HD and RAM, but is it worth the money?

This has integrated graphics and a low res screen. I would not consider this a desktop replacement.

16" replace a standard desktop 22"... I don't think so...

That 1366 x 768 resolution is pathetic. You'll have a lot of fun scrolling up and down just surfing the web. Its as if they designed these to be used for watching HD movies and forgot about the computing aspect of a computer.
Agreed. 1280x800 is the **bare minimum** (the 800 being the limiting factor.) And losing those 32 pixes north to south is a deal-breaker for me. I'd estimate that's about the size of the taskbar which always seems to get in the way when browsing in a 1280x800 screen.

Does CC usually take competitor's coupons?!

rating is so-so compared to some other laptops' ratings on CC.
