Some of the TP cables used a flat flex type and others used a round cable through a "gutter". What were the advantages and disadvantages of each and why did IBM & Lenovo use both types seemingly randomly.

Thinkpad LCD cables.
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.
The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Re: Thinkpad LCD cables.
Attention to detail, much... I never noticed that difference between the W700 and W701.
Some models like T30 and A31p use a flat flex type and a gutter.
And all models post T400s send the LCD cable through the hinge.
The benefit of sending wrapped cables through the hinge/gutter is that they are cheaper than ribbon cables, which I'd assume because the R61 and R500 used gutters instead of ribbon cables.
