Looking for a basic notebook with a decent-size screen

I'm looking for a general-purpose notebook (spreadsheets, documents, browsing, music, email, videos)

  • Screen size around 15 inch, preferably with vertical resolution better than 768 pixels (better for spreadsheets)
  • Any fairly recent processor
  • At least 4GB RAM
  • A couple of hundred GB hard disk
  • Good battery life would be nice
  • Doesn't need DVD

Most of these specs seem pretty easy to meet for $350-$450, Eg the recent Asus or Toshiba deals.
But the screen resolution is a sticking point. Do I have to give up on that and settle for 768?
