Hi All,

I am planning to get a 14.1 T61 w/integrated camera and am looking for feedback on what your experience was. Will appreciate your inputs.

Which is more preferable ?
14.1" WXGA
14.1" WXGA+

I dont intent to use it for gaming nor for any serious graphic related work

Thx

WGA is a too low resolution to be *productive* or even to use the laptop in good conditions with advances software. You can just have one application and it will take all the screen.

WGA+ is more confortable. You get nearly the same work area than with a 1280x1024 desktop 17 ou 19". The 16/10 ratio is more practical for Windows Vista and the side bar. WGA+ is still easy to read, font are not small.

Thanks very much for your feedback. How would you rate the performance of the integrated camera? I will be using it for fair amount of teleconferencing.

I have a fair amount of experience with the camera in a teleconferencing environment and it works very well. You will not be disappointed.

The integrated camera on T61 series is fair but isn't any best in terms of generating good picture quality, I would suggest you on buying an external camera if the machine won't be used as a traveling companion, otherwise go for an integrated camera.
