Given the outcome of the previous laptop thread, I've begun to look
for laptops I (might) be able to afford.  Can anyone provide some
guidance on the following displays:

13.3" 1366x768
14" 1366x768
14" 1600x900

Dell refurb laptops (on the Dell outlet) look like a decent price
point to start with and I'm comparing the Vostro 3350 (13.3") and the
Latitude E5420 (14").  Other differences are about 1.1 lbs in weight
and the Vostro has 8 hours battery life (8-cell battery) vs 6 or 9.5
hrs on the Latitude (6 or 9 cell battery).

Suggestions welcome!
