I'm not sure what is so retro about the 16:9 display. Surely Lenovo can do better than that?

- yoodenvranx 9y agoYes, I am still using an old 4:3 Lenovo T61 and I wish there would be a modern replacement!
- sverige 9y agoI keep using my T60, dreading the day some component gives out.
- yoodenvranx 9y agoI am thinking about buying 1 or 2 more laptops as backup. They are dirt cheap on ebay/craigslist and it is very easy to rebuild them.
- shabbyrobe 9y agoOh god yes. 16:9 is an absolute deal breaker for me. After the task bar, tool bar, menu bar, ridiculously oversized fixed position website nav bar, "up next: more related garbage" fixed position pseudo-ad footer and whatever else decides it wants to eat my vertical space, a 16:10 screen offers me a good 200% increase in usable pixels for whatever piece of content I was actually interested in in the first place. If only Firefox would hurry up and integrate tree styled tabs without requiring one of several now-obsolete extensions, the experience of using a computer might become marginally less terrible. But of course I'm not holding my breath waiting for anyone in this sorry saga to do something that actually helps until I'm forced to read every single website one 200-word line at a time.
- bonzini 9y agoI'm not sure no one even makes 4:3 panels with a diagonal more than a few inches long. I would have hoped for the light, though... It is one of the reasons why I am clinging to my X230.
- 4ad 9y agoApple makes a 12'' iPad with a 4:3 display. Apple also makes a ton of 16:10 laptops while nobody else does.
