I have a circa-2008 Dell Precision M4400 with a similar 15.4” 1920x1200 display. Still looks pretty solid by modern standards! 16:10 was pretty common in laptops until the HD marketing craze kicked in, which plagued us with those infernal 1366x768 panels that can still be found in bargain basement laptops to this day. It started in consumer laptops but eventually business/workstation laptops succumbed too, with the only big name holdout being Apple (which only ever made one 16:9 laptop, the somewhat-maligned 11” MacBook Air). Heck it was common in desktop monitors too. For a long time Apple and Dell’s flagship monitors were 30” 2560x1600. This category unfortunately has yet to escape the 16:9 curse…
