Quick Path and Parts Lookup Conflict

Hello,

I am currently researching a unit I am considering buying. I have been given the Type and S/N from the seller. I put these into the Quick Path and one of the specifications is the display: "12.1in 1440x900 LCD". When I put the same details into the Parts Lookup it states the display: "FLT PNL DS FRU 12.1 WXGA" (FRU: 42T0510, a 1280x800 display.

Can anybody confirm which is the more likely? I have asked the seller to check the display for me but in the meantime I think they may be getting frustrated with my many questions and so I'd like to confirm which of the two is likely to be correct - I've never seen them conflict before. The Type is ThinkPad X200s (7470-WXM).

Thank you.

I would trust the Parts Lookup page more. There have been a couple of instances I noticed where the general description using the quick path was wrong. I recently researched some W520 models and the CPU info was incorrect for those; though in my case a better CPU was used in the actual machine(s).

You are correct - The Parts Lookup has the correct specification, confirmed by the seller. Doh! Back to the drawing board to find 'the one'!
