WTB Thinkpad with 1280x800 + screen

#1 Post by obarker9 » Sat Feb 08, 2014 12:23 pm

Looking for a think-pad with a resolution of 1280x800 or higher, mainly will be used for a bit of programming stuff so ideally need a bit of screen estate.

edit:
No preference on screen ratio, just a screen with a better resolution
Well budget of around £250~ give or take a bit + postage

Hi and welcome to the forum. :)

I don't have a laptop to offer you, but:

For that purpose I would suggest not settling even for 1280x800. It's actually a rather low-end resolution. Go for at least 1440x900, more if you can.

Do you have any preference for screen size? 12"? 14"? 15"? Any preference for 4:3 or widescreen?

It's very difficult to narrow down all the options without knowing your budget. At least a ballpark estimate would be welcome.
Current: X220 4291-4BG, T410 2537-R46, T60 1952-F76, T60 2007-QPG, T42 2373-F7G
Collectibles: T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X32 (IPS Screen)
Retired: X61 7673-V2V, A31p w/ Ultrabay Numpad
Past: Z61t 9440-A23, T60 2623-D3U, X32 2884-M5U

Ok thanks
No preference on size or ratio though being smaller would be a plus point.
Well budget of around £250~ give or take a bit + postrage
