I've just started to deploy some laptops with the same screen: Dell E6500s. Except for one person with really bad eyesight, they all love the screen. I haven't personally used one in-depth yet, though.

For the record, that's 147dpi. I have an older laptop that I use all the time with a 1400x1050 14.1" screen, which is about 128dpi. I have no trouble with that at all. In fact, most of the time, I view it from well more than arm's length away. My eyesight is pretty good, but not great. I think the additional resolution is great.
