Sorry, but going to have to disagree here, widescreen displays are crap for business. Movies? sure, but not for business. When you show a client something, you want to be able to display it to them in a standard format. 1024x768 is a standard for the majority of internet users. I personally use 1400x1050 on my T42. The major downpoint of the T60 is the loss of the S-Video. Secondary concerns are the addition of the winkeys, tampering with the keyboard and trackpad, shoddy LED design, and loss of connectivity options. The screens are great, gloss can go to hell.
well i'm going to disagree, with your disagree, I feel a 1280x800 is Much better than 1024x768 in the business world.. granted it took me 10 mins to get use to it. but x-brite on a widescreen 15.4 I'd never go back now!!!. in the business world. it helps to have DESKTOP space. specially when your designing websites. etc.. and the wide screen definatly helps give you more desktop making you More productive.. granted if all you do in the business world is bring up a spreadsheet. well than you need a new job for starters or you'll die of bordum. but. you can get away with using 1024x768 . But if you are doing more than one thing at a time ( we call it multitasking ) . than the Bigger the desktop the better!! and I don't see how you can argue with that! . BIGGER is BETTER. it's our slogan .. ROFL .

I use 1400x1050, this is larger than your 1280x800. 1024x768 is for client presentations as it is an industry standard.
