The 15" screen it's only XGA (1024x768) on this particular model. Do you feel confortable with that?

Oh,this modle is not good.too big,I meane.14.1inch with SXGA is better.

XGA? Yuck, unless you plan on rarely using it as a mobile & have it docks most of the time to an external monitor.

I too think the XGA is a big turnoff.

I know sxga would be better, thanks.

Is XGA on 43 such a yuck that you would discourage it for the given price alltogether? mind that sxga t43 would not come below 2000$/Euro in Europe...

1000$ for bridging xga to sxga - really a necessity?

14.1 Inch LCD with XGA is ok.My T43 is this type of LCD.But 15 Inch with XGA is really not good.Just forget about it.

XGA is fine for a very wide range of business purposes. It all depends on what the user wants to do with it.

Cheers,

What is the difference between SXGA and XGA? I too am looking at buying a T43 in the coming months for college.

SXGA 1280 x 1024 resolution.
XGA 1024 x 768
SVGA 800 x 600
VGA 640 x 480

I have XGA and like it, guess i'm a weirdo or something.

Nothing wrong with that, I know a few people that have little to no need for anything above 1024x768.

If you have never experienced a 1280x1024 resolution, then you don't need it. But once you do, you'll get hooked to it like me.

You forgot to mention SXGA+ Mike, 1400 x 1050, which is one of the resolutions that the T43 is offered with, not SXGA.

I love my 14.1" SXGA+ T41p!

Regards,

James

I am perfectly happy with my 1400x1050 SXGA+ T43.
