2560x1920 (or even 2132x1599) would be better, but I guess that fight was lost long ago.

  I still have no idea why people bought into shortscreen laptops hook, line, and sinker - I guess that's marketing for you. Maybe we're just in a minority of people that want laptops, and not expensive DVD players? I'll never buy a laptop with that bottom seventh of screen real estate missing.

    Where do you even look to find something otherwise? As far as I could tell the last time I was able to buy a laptop with a 4:3 ratio screen was in 2006, and they were significantly more expensive than 16:10 models. Since then I haven't ever even seen the option.

      NOOOOOO! Well the last time I bought a new laptop was 2007. I figured there had to still be some Thinkpads Ts with 4:3 screens (given that they're used by people who are in touch with the realities of traveling and all), but alas I see that's one more thing Lenovo has crapped up. Yet another reason to keep this IBM-branded T60 going as long as possible (despite the periodic keyboard swaps). How do those spacers on the sides of keyboards not just scream waste needing optimization? I guess that 7% area savings for LCD manufacturers overrides common sense. Well okay, I see the writing on the wall - time to learn to use ed(1).
