if u compare the 2 resolution, the 1080p one , the things display in it will looks smaller compare to 768p....1080p real diff u will nid pic or movie that are in full hd to see the difference significantly

btw doesnt that sxps come with 1080p screen default

720P will be better if u dun watch movies while play games
full HD on games will decrease the performance a lot if u're not using high end gpu like GTX460m/Ati 5870

The difference is huge.
In full HD, everything (Menus, icons, buttons, text etc) is really a lot smaller than usual.
Therefore, Windows 7 will set the DPI to higher (120DPI/125%) by default to accommodate for that.
In windows, things aren't that bad as the DPI settings is already taken care.
But, still sometimes you will notice some quirks here and there. (e.g. Text being truncated in some software installer as it's larger)
Overall, nothing major and it's all within acceptable limits.

However, things're really different in web browsing as browser tends to ignore OS DPI settings.
This is especially true for Google Chrome which ignores your OS DPI settings leaving you with super small text.
To make matter worst, no global font size settings for contents...
The only option you've is to set custom zoom level for every single page you visit or use one of the 3rd party chrome extension.
I tried the chrome extension, it does what it claims to do but anyhow some web site will appear very broken using that.
So, I uninstalled Chrome due to this and switched to Firefox.

On the other hand, Firefox is slightly better.
It provides a global font size settings for contents.
Still, that ain't bulletproofed as it doesn't work for every web site available.
Anyhow, it lessens the need to adjust the zoom level.
So, I planned to stick with Firefox for the mean time.

As for IE, it seems that the text scales the best as it seems to use the OS DPI settings.
I can't confirm that as I haven't tested that thoroughly.
I've only used it a few times to get the software I need when I first received my laptop.

If you don't require:
1. the wider color gamut
2. extra workspace
Or, if you game a lot.
It's better for you to skip the full HD screen.

Otherwise, get it and live with the fact that everything is very small.

I'll try to get some screens for the text scaling between IE, Firefox and Chrome up just to give you some idea.
As mentioned by others, get the latest version from CPUID.
Btw, I'm using the 64 bit version.

if u tight on budget u probably can just can de core i5 one.....sicne u don game much....anyway is your choice.....welcome abroad to xps family

Just check the Dell store.. The FHD screen is back again..

Blur? How is it that HD videos become blurry? Firstly, which screen are you on? 720p or 1080P FHD?

How can that be? What resolution is your XPS 15 set to, and the Inspiron 15? If you're using the same video, same source & same player, there won't be a difference... IINM the XPS 15's 720p display is the same one used in the Inspiron 15.
