Speaking of computers.. I am looking at purchasing another Sony laptop within the next few months, debating between 15.4" or 17"?

My past two Sony's have all been 15.4", I have never owned a 17" and there isn't a lot of 17" to choose from, but thought maybe a little bit bigger monitor would be nice. The 17" laptops sure are ugly and kind of big, which is what kept me away from them in the past.

Whatcha think?
