Thanks for the computer advice. Will anyone even be uploading 720p next year? I'm already seeing a lot of uploads that are only available in 1080p or bluray. Resolution snobs :)

1080p offers no noticeable change in quality but makes the file size disgustingly massive. 26 Episodes of Clannad was 23GB. The same 26 in 720p was 13GB. Do I really want to DL 10GB more?

I know I don't, hopefully it's just a passing fad or I'm noticing a trend that isn't really there but I keep seeing new offerings in ridiculous resolutions only and nothing reasonable.

Lots of uploads available in 1080p only? I don't think so I challenge you to point me to a single show/movie/OVA that is only available in 1080, all the items that I can see on this site have either a 480 or 720 version available.

I don't know about your eyes but I like to watch my anime on my desktop PC and on my TV and I find 1080 noticeably better quality than 720. With 1TB hard drives costing AU$100 that 10GB more of download is costing me a MASSIVE $1 worth of storage space! I’m happy to use that much bandwidth/storage to have a nicer viewing experience.
And if you are watching Clanned on an old laptop where 1080 is not any better than 720 no one is forcing you to get the large version. This site has the smaller copy just as readily available, you can even get the 480 version just as simply and save that $1 of hard drive space.
I find it dumb that you are using words like fad, ridiculous and disgusting to describe a resolution that no one is forcing you to use and provides noticeable benefits to people who do like it.

Yobbin2000: You deleted my smiley after the words "resolution snobs" that rather changes the tone of my remark. If you're going to rebut someone's comment then quote in full.
I've got nothing against anyone wanting to watch in the best resolution available and I hope to be one of those people who don't need the lower resolution version myself someday.

Bluray is the same as 1080p in this case.

I don't know how to include a link in a way that proves that another link does not exist, so it's just a case of prove a negative, so whatever.
About every 4th or 5th new show that I'd care to watch, thing about trends is that it could be half or more of all new shows next year and then I'd regret not getting a machine that could handle 1080p/bluray.

This is assuming you're running Win7 Starter. Installing Linux would probably make it faster. Also assuming you're not using Windows Media Player. IMO ZoomPlayer is the best choice because it's lightweight, more so than MPCHC from my experience.

Thanks, it's a bit pricier than what I've been looking at but much more capable. Technology does that to me a lot. Stupid technology :)
I might get that one as I've just had an expected expense turn out to be a lot less expensive than I'd planned for, not buy a new laptop type savings but still good. I wouldn't want to move on laptop bit just now anyway as part of the laptop replacement plan will be to register at the local city college and use my student status to get huge, pay off tuition and then some student discounts on software for the new machine.
