Re: Always opt for higher res screen

I have an x60 running 1400x1050 and I wouldn't trade it for any other
notebook out there. As mine is pre-release, I'm not sure if there are any
advantages/disadvantages to the released models, but if it's even close to
this, I couldn't recommend it any more highly.

The only improvement I can even think of is a wide screen model.

There is a brightness control that dims the screen when on battery, but you
can adjust it.

As I said earlier in this thread, going to 1024x768 after using this
resolution makes things look like they're at 640x480.
