I've been using a Toshiba Tecra with XGA resolution on a 12" screeen for about a year now and I love it. I dock it at the office with a 17" monitor set to the same resolution, and I find I really like looking at exactly the same screen whether it's docked or not. In terms of eyestrain, best way to check this out is to find an laptop with a SVGA resolution on a 10" screen (e.g., a TP 365X), as this resolution is close (though not identical) to XGA on a 12" screen.
If you're still worried about eyestrain after that, and you're not locked into IBM, you might want to consider a Toshiba Tecra 740CDT (MMX), which runs XGA on a 13.3" screen. You can get information on this model at:

Subject: Eye strain with 1024 * 768?
I expect to purchased the 760XD (MMX) when it becomes available in the next
quarter. It comes with a 1024 by 768 screen. I have heard that these
screens can be difficult to read. I would like to hear from people who
presently have a thinkpad with a 1024 by 768 screen regarding how legible
they are. I have not been able to find a vendor where I live who has such
a notebook so I need some advice from others. Thanks in advance.
Best, Doug
