So realistically how can I expect these two screens to compare to either the one on my Dell D630 or my old t42?

I never really had any objections to the screen on the t42, but this dell is terrible. It seems to only have black and not shades of grey.

Why it supposed to be ? Both are TN crap panel. Typical "contrast" of current notebook displays is 150:1, so ...

I thought the x200s was LED?

x200 vs x200s screen

is the x200s screen much better then the one on the x200? I have heard lots of negative reviews on the screen of the x200 and am a little concerned about ordering since I can't see these machines before ordering. I'd be willing to spend the extra if it means getting a good display. My current machin...

Not quite, I don't care for the MacOS, but I don't care for how vista runs on the Mac Hardware. Trackpad support is a mess. Not that I don't care for Vista.

Like I said, I do like the LED screen and have heard some complaints about the LED screen on the x200 so I am wondering how they compare.

I know it is a long shot, but has anyone been able compare the screen on the new thinkpad? I am typing this on a new MacBook, I am less then impressed with the MacOS, and even less impressed with its Vista compatibility. One thing I am impressed is with the screen.

So the 5100 does not support 802.11n in the 5ghz range?

x200 Wifi dualband?

Does the intel 5300 or 5100 support dual band 802.11n. I am looking to get off of 2.4ghz but it looks like 802.11a routers are becoming hard to come by.

So, I am thinking about replacing my aging t42 and a shiny new x200, but I of course have some questions first mainly around the fact that I would like to avoid purchasing the dvd drive and base. 1. My old machine did not come with a recovery cd. Can anything else be used besides the dvd burner to c...

I have a 2373-M3U, the machine will occasionally freeze for a split second or two. Not sure what is causing this but the 2373-K1U that I returned recently did the same thing. anyone have any ideas?

ultrabay battery

How much extra time does this battery provide? I have a 2373m3u with the 6cell battery. How does it compare to having just the 9cell battery? I don't use the dvd much so I am thinking that it may be a good compromise since it won't change the form factor of the machine.

Hi, I am trying to get motorola mobile phone tools and my T42 to talk to each other. Mobile phone tools can't seem to locate my V551 when I put it in discoverable mode. The IBM bluetooth panel seems to be able to find it but that only lets me use the phone as a modem. The motorola stuff is supposed ...
