I wish they'd bring back the E6400/E6500 style of enterprise Latitude laptops, but of course with modern internals. These newer ones are much uglier and the screens are too short.

- Grishnakh 10y agoI completely disagree. I'm sorry, but I find it impossible to believe that enterprise IT departments and businesses were jumping up and down for 16:9 displays. Maybe all the stupid consumers wanted them, but consumers are not the target customer for enterprise laptops. I think it's much more likely that the laptop makers saw an opportunity to save money by going to 16:9 because of the massive growth in 16:9 LCD screens thanks to TVs, because the LCD factories were pushing them for economies of scale.
