Re: New WUXGA W500... is the screen really this bad?

Well, I guess I should've done my homework, huh? I checked it against my dad's work W500 and you are indeed right. A friend of mine who can see better than me is going to trade me a T400 with a 1440x900 screen and a T9400 plus a Phenom II X4 rig for it. I guess that;s a good deal; it sucks though be...

New WUXGA W500... is the screen really this bad?

Hey everyone... wow, been almost three years since I was last on here! Anyway, I picked up a W500 with the WUXGA screen, T9600, 4GB, blah blah blah. The screen is SO DIM. With these teeny little pixels, brightness would really help. According to the laptop, I am on the highest brightness level... my...

Thanks a lot for such a well though.t-out response. I've given it some thought myself, and I'm not so sure I'm ready to lose any more money than I have in the past few months. With the gaming rig I recently built, I am in need of a laptop, however. I would buy the G41 in a heartbeat, actually, but m...

The one I'd be getting:

- 3.33GHz P4HT
- 2GB RAM
- 80GB HDD
- SXGA+
- nVidia graphics
- battery in green
- good cosmetic condition... :D
- Warranty until 11-2009

I'd be paying $500 for it.
akjula66, this seems to meet all your criteria. Do you think it's overpriced?

1. That's probably pretty rare.
2. Excellent! :D

Oh, and would you happen to have any pictures of it in action? I've seen stock photos of them but I'm not sure if that accurately represents what they look like.

Ah, thank you!

Two questions:
1) Assuming you felt like it, would it fry your lap when wearing shorts?
2) How long did the battery last when new?

Anyone here want to tell me about their G4x?

I may be buying a G41 soon but there are next to no reviews on the Internet, so I was wondering if some of you G40 and G41 owners would be so kind as to tell me what you think of them.

Thanks!

What's the best value in older Thinkpads?

I really hate to say this, but it looks like I'm going to have to start buying TPs on eBay and selling them on Craigslist. I was wondering what models would have the best potential for profit?

Yup. I don't need it at all. Anyway, it's been used for about a day total. I don't have any pics of it, because I'm going to school in 15 minutes... yeah.
