Thinkpads Forum

If you notice the finish on front "edge" of the thinkpad (where the lid latch is found), you will notice the difference in design between the T60 widescreen 15"/normal 14" ones and the 15" T60s. The widescreen and the 14" ones sport a flatter design compared the sharp finish on the 15" normal ones, and from my experience using a 15" and a 14", I find that I prefer the flatter design.

I just wanted to see if people really have a preference at all for this. Please post comments for your votes if you have a good reason

I don't have a preference and there is no apparent reason for that. But the thing I do prefer in my T60's is LG/Philips LCD over Samsung.

I have never been able to get my head wrapped around the "wide screen" idea and for me the big things is to see a remote server connection in a 1024x768 Window. My preference is to see my "desktop" as well as the "desktop" of the remote host.

As for size, the 15" is easier to see, but I am willing to sacrifice for the smaller size and weight of a 14.1" screen. Five years ago I could have seen 1400x1050 on a 12 inch screen: five years from now I will likely have to return to a bigger screen.

I actually prefer the way the 14" flat edge looks, even though I have a 15". I prefer the 15" IPS screen though.

I also prefer the 15" IPS not the widescreen which i saw at circuitcity today and is very wide for me.

and, let me ask you this guys I know is off topic but what's lenovo market strategy?? because they usually don't sell through let say "
consumer's stores", they started selling at compusa, now at circuitcity and what else?? walmart could be next? i hope consumer people make balance and choose lenovo because these still the best computers and also hope that they see the track point as a reason to buy lenovo. hehehe !!!

I personally don't care either way, but I do like the new position of the speakers on the 15.4" T60. I do know that when I had the 14" T4x and the 15" T4x, I preferred the front of the 14" series instead.

The 14 inch is my favorite.

I like 14 inches.

14 all the way for me...

I find the 14 and the 15.4 WS very similar, and yes, prefer the flattish-boxier style. I had a chance to compare the 14 and the 15.4 last week side by side, and I found them very similar in regards to portability. The 14 does weigh probably .5-.75 lbs less, but in terms of FORM factor, I don't perceive a large difference. Seeing as they have the same depth, its only about 1.5 inches wider. Now the 15" standard I find humoungous.

14 > 15.4 WS > 15 in portability. I know a little off topic, but hey, we are morphing that direction.
