Q. Just need to know about the screen. I currently use a Dell monitor 17'' nothing really special and it's fine, I will still use it with my laptop but I'm wondering how much difference there is between the two.
A. Until the monitor is calibrated and profiled, NO monitor will provide you with the information you need if you are attempting to retouch image files or adjust colour. This applies to notebook computers as well.
Since the only LCD monitors that be used professionally by retouchers cost from $2,500 and up, most of us poor photographers still use CRT monitors that have been calibrated and profiled. We do this each week to assure colour accuracy.
Do you have a calibration tool like the Pantone huey, I1Display 2 or ColorMunki?

The huge plus for the Studio 17 are as follows:
* Intel® Core™ i5 CPU
* 64-bit operating system
* 4-pin IEEE 1394 port
* 54 mm ExpressCard slot
* 8-in-1 Media Card Reader
I would add 6 gb of RAM if you intend to do any video or RAW file processing

Where can I get a reasonably priced small computer monitor?
Q. I do basic troubleshooting for friends and family and sometimes come into the issue of their monitor doesn't work. Connectors and firmware aside, does anyone know where I could purchase a small lightweight computer monitor with VGA and/or DVI and/or HDMI inputs for testing purposes? The only lightweight monitors I can seem to find are USB-connected and powered and I would like to test the actual input device that people are currently using. Links to products are helpful and welcome!
A. 7 and 10 inch portable (12vDC) monitors for photography pros have HDMI inputs. They are less than $200 http://www.amazon.com/Lilliput-interface-dedicated-high-definition-Koolertron/dp/B0041I8UAO

http://www.amazon.com/Coby-TFTV1923-19-Inch-Widescreen-Monitor/dp/B001R0MLCM I have this one, every input you can think of except DVI, but mine has audio amplifier not responding to controls, almost silent. It is a bit heavy.
http://www.amazon.com/Coby-TF-TV1925-19-Inch-720p-LCD/dp/B0037KLEKA/ref=dp_ob_title_ce newer model, less $ because no internal DVD player, no USB stick port, no SD card port.
