Re: Where do I get new rubber thermal pads?
Thermal pads can be easily obtained online and cut down. Just search for thermal pads on the internet and buy one at your place.
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.
