...but test-drive a high-resolution laptop before you buy. LCD screens have one "ideal" resolution (equal to the LCD resolution) and going lower (for example to avoid tiny icons) results in a lower image quality than just buying a lower resolution laptop to begin with.

True, with UXGA you need pretty good eyesight. The Toshiba and Sony panels are very good. Dell and Gateway seem to use lower quality panels.
