Question:
Do any notebooks have a 15" 1440x900 screen?
In a google search, all that came up were some Apples with a 15" 1440x900 screen.
I really haven't decided yet whether I will get a 14", or 15", or 17" notebook, but I do know I want to maximize resolution for the screen without it being too small.
My desktop monitor is a 20.5" widescreen @ 1680x1050. This comes out to 9,700 pixels/sq. in. A Dell 17" @ 1920x1200 is 17,650 pixels/sq. in. That's too small, ideally something in the middle around 13,000 pixels/sq. in is what I'm looking for.
A 17" 1680x1050 is 13,500 pix/sq. in, and is available in some notebooks.
A 14" 1280x800 is 11,630 pix/sq. in and is in the ASUS A8jm near the top of my list.
A 15" 1440x900 would be 12,210 pixels/sq. in and something I would definitely consider but does it exist?

The sizes nowadays come in such resolution as:
15" can come in SXGA+(1280x1050), XGA(rarely, standard size screens are rare nowadays)
15.4" can come in WXGA(1280x800), WSXGA+(1680x1050), or WXGA+(1400x900), and WUXGA for eye squinting joy

15.4" WXGA+ (1440x900) is what I'm looking for but haven't found it in anything other than an Apple.

I'm afraid 1680x1050 on a 15" or 1920x1200 on a 17" would be too small for me and I don't think there are any stores that would stock models with those resolutions so I could go and look.

Just a minor correction 15" SXGA+ is 1400x1050.

If it's too high, you can always set it lower in the operating system, right?

You can, but puttting a different resolution other than the native one on an LCD will make it appear blurry and possibliy distorted. Buy a laptop that has a screen you are comfortable with.
In a retail store, you'll see a WXGA resolution on a 15.4" screen, and WXGA+ on a 17", generally speaking.

My bad, 1400x1050 is right.
I'm using a SXGA+ and I got it wrong, shame on me :p
