Thinkpads Forum

hi guys
please help me really hesitated , i tell you what i use the laptop for , the most thing that i will do is creating virtual machines (thats why iwant a power horse machine ) ,reading text and doing configuration ,watching videos but not high resolution videos , surfing the web and reading text also , and for the games i play only GTA and FIFA that just for fun but when i play i'd love to get excellent and smooth performance and also very good quality .

that what i will do with the W510 so please advice me which screen will be the best choice for me HD+ or FHD ? putting in consideration that the difference between both will deserve the 200$ cost ? but its ok for me if the FHD is best choice i go for it and if the HD+ is a good choice and the FHD will not make the difference i go for it .

thank you guys waiting your advices

What screen size are you looking at? FHD uses a higher resolution than HD, so I would not recommend FHD on a smaller screen(14-16"). Smaller than 17", go for HD. Larger, go for FHD. Either way it will look great. This thread has some good information about HD and FHD.

i am looking at W510 15.6 , so you recommend that i go with HD+ and it will be excellent for games and reading and every thing and the brightness will be good also ?

Well, the brightness depends on the screen itself, not the type of screen. But that would be the best screen for your size and what you want to do with it.

I have FHD (more than FHD) on several machines.
17" Dell Inspiron 9300 WUXGA 1920 x 1200
15.4" Dell Inspiron 6000 WUXGA 1920 x 1200

newly ordered...

15.x" Thinkpad W510 FHD 1920 x 1080

If you are a hig res computing freak... go for it. Is FHD still available as an option for T / W series on the Lenovo site?
