I don't understand why people say that widescreen is useless for "most business work." Not only does a wide screen allow you to keep two tall pages side-by-side, thus enabling easy comparison of sources, or easy two-page layout work, or easy reference-on-one-side document-on-the-other work, it also allows you to see more columns in spreadsheets, thus avoiding horizontal scrolling. And in any application with toolbars, it is simple to have them all be visible without blocking any of your usual 4x3-sized workspace. Having a wide screen on my laptop when I'm out is the only reason I'm not desperately missing the dual 4x3 monitors on my desktop.
