screen resolution
N55 Series N55SF by Brenorc97 (Apr, 2012)_the 1080p display sometimes make the worlds really small, but i proffer it this way, but if you don't like this just set the resolution to 900p.

N55 Series N55SF by you_nerdThis laptop is fast, especially with the i7 and 8gb of ram and does what is promised.
G73 Series G73SW by DMITRI-KIVILEV (Mar, 2011)Computer has 8GB of 1333Mhz RAM (4x 2GB), so it'll be expensive to upgrade RAM to 12GB(2*2 + 4*2) or 16GB(4*4) (since there are no extra free slots and you'll have to throw away existing RAM).
