Both are having same pixel counts

[Jesper de Jong]

Go to a shop that has laptops, look at laptops with different screen sizes, and decide what you prefer yourself. Different people have different preferences, and we can't tell you what your preference is...

I've had a 13.3-inch laptop (screen resolution 1280 x 800 pixels) in the past and found the resolution too low. When running an IDE I had the feeling that I didn't have enough screen size. Now I have a Dell laptop (Latitude E6520) with 15.6-inch Full HD screen (1920 x 1080 pixels). I love it, the screen on that laptop is great. The pixels are small though, I can understand that some people would feel that text and icons are too small on such a screen.

I would find 1366 x 768 too low. But as I said, it's personal preference.

Hello Jesper ...Agree with you but my budget won't allow me that.. your model in india is cost around 72k Rs. Anyways if you've any plans to visit india please let me know ;)

[Bert Bates]

I agree with Jesper that it's all about the pixels. My advice would be to do whatever you can to afford more pixels - upgrade your RAM later if you have to but get more pixels now - they can't really be upgraded later. With that said, if you can't afford more pixels, I'd choose the smaller laptop because it's smaller, but it has as many pixels as the bigger laptop.

hth,

Bert

Thanks Bert and Jesper. Really appreciate your help and suggestions. Now I am a bit confident(As I am very confused person) to choose a lappy for me (Can't make it without your help guys)

**Huge fan of Bert ... May I have a autograph PLEASE

Kastubh, I'd say first decide your needs, then go about purchasing.
You can compare your local dealers' prices with ebay(http://deals.ebay.in/deals/laptops.html).
