 JP> Oh ! I have not seen any of them. I am still curious.

Sure you have.  Most screens are advertised with their highest
resolution. For example, 1366 x 768, or 1280 x 800.

Just calculate the ratio yourself.  1366:768 = 16:9, and 1280:800 = 16:10

A "full screen" would be 4:3.

Where you gained on CPU and WiFi, you lost on RAM.  But RAM is still
relatively cheaper to improve than an CPU or WiFi upgrade.



 JP> Did you note the list that I U/L'd here ?


I did. Thanks. I believe that I replied about this in another message.
I am focusing on one of the T60 or T61 models for my next "upgrade"
when I get the chance and have the resources.   I want my laptop to be
not only better in speed, hdd storage, dvd write capability and better
screen brightness, but I want something that is thin and light.


This one:

Lenovo 3000 G530 4446-24U Laptop Computer - Intel Pentium Dual Core
T3400 2.16GHz, 3GB DDR2, 250GB HDD, DVDRW, 15.4" WXGA, Vista Home
Premium, 15.4-inch widescreen (16:10)

Price:    $549.97

...is tempting.   But I don't like the idea of using Vista.


That is why the T61p on eBay was attractive to me. It had XPp.


I hardly ever use my old 1Ghz, 19" (Ubuntu) desktop pc anymore.  The
last time I fired it up was over a month a go, I think.  It surely has
a load of Ubuntu updates required by now.

But I still have a Thinkcentre M51 (3GHz) desktop to repair.  That's
the one that I wrote about here a few weeks ago: doesn't boot up
anymore. Needs a new mobo or a replacement CPU.  Still haven't done the
CPU swap that I thought about to test the mobo. Instead, I'm thinking
of just getting a new mobo/cpu kit and popping it in the case.
