What resolution is your laptop running at? I got a 15.4" screen running at 1680x1050 and I can see everything fine.

nUI doesn't affect the size of the things like the profession screen. If you're having a size issue there, you should use the "Use UI Scale" option in the Bliz video settings (or maybe you already are and didn't know it?)

Press "escape", select "Video" and then check the setting the of the slider for "Use UI Scale" -- moving that slider to the right while the option is enabled will increase the scale of Blizzard's screen elements (such as the profession window). Once you have things set the way you want, close the video options window and do a "/nui rl" so nUI can recalculate its layout at the new resolution.

How exactly do you do that on such an itty bitty screen? I always thought you couldn't go beyond the screens native resolution. Teach me something new

Specs from one of the many retailers for the notebook:

Display
Screen Size 15.4"
Wide Screen Support Yes
Display Type Wide SXGA+
Resolution 1680 x 1050

Link to Retailers for full specs

I've heard many people say its too much resolution to fit on a "itty bitty" screen, and honestly, some days its just too much and makes my head hurt lol

I've attached a screenshot, just so you can see what it looks like

Edit: I was just looking up how screens native resolutions and according to wikipedia you actually can use a higher than native resolution, albeit to obtain poor results:

When a computer display resolution is set higher than the physical screen resolution, some video drivers make the virtual screen scrollable over the physical screen. Most LCD manufacturers do make note of the panel's native resolution as working in a non-native resolution on LCDs will result in a poorer image, due to dropping of pixels to make the image fit (when using DVI) or insufficient sampling of the analog signal (when using VGA connector).
