1366x768 screen, fail.
guarantee its a bottom dollar screen with shit colors, and terrible viewing angles.
Not high-end, but I definitely wouldn't say shitty. It's better than my neighbor's Toshiba that she paid a couple hundred dollars more for and better than my brother's old 15" monitor. I have a 4530s also; I use it primarily for school and also a couple of times for tuning. A Macbook Pro or anything similar would be overkill for me. If I did video production or something similar for work, and needed it to be mobile, I'd consider it.
As far as specs go: I don't think anything matches the new Macbook Pro, but when I was looking for laptops last year, they didn't really do much better than similar-priced laptops.
