Current laptop has 1440x1050 and back then was available in 1600x1200,
but I thought that would have been too small and I didn't need the
screen real estate. I was wrong, hence almost 3 years later, I'm
looking for a new laptop (plus I need more memory and fast 64 bit
support). I really need a minimum of 1600x1200 and I have a feeling
that if I dont go for 1920 I will regret it.

I've heard that you _can_ get 1600x1200 on a 15" macbook pro, is that
true? what is the secret handshake option on apple's web site?
