| Always opt for higher res screen This is just an opinion of a long time tablet user. I have used the Toshiba 3500 for probably 4 years or so now and very much like the tablet form factor. I envisioned this type of technology back in college probably when Gates and his team were half way through developing it. Anyway, my 3500 had screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and I used it that way for 4 years. Now, I have purchased a new Toshiba M400 with 1400 x 1050 resolution and I have to say, it is sooooo much better this way. I am so glad I opted for the higher res screen. It was worth EVERY penny. So, my recommendation to those of you looking at tablets is to get the higher res screen when offered. But, that is just my $0.02 so take it for what it is worth. Tablets rule! |

| Re: Always opt for higher res screen That is good news, as I am right now deciding wether to but the ThinkPad x60 with 1400x1050 screen or the normal 1024x768. BUT I have som questions for those with the ThinkPad in house already; - Is the 1400x1050 screen as bright as the smaller ones? - Any other cons with such screen? - How is the ThinkPad screens in general? (I returned a Toshiba M700, because it was to dim. I hate this "tablet"-filter on some tablets, not on my Acer312).

| 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. -- Terri Stratton Microsoft Featured Community http://thetabletpc.net Forums - http://forums.mobilepcworld.net Microsoft Windows MVP- Tablet PC "henrik" <henrik@norwaii.com> wrote in message news:F5AD3F92-4E0F-45E5-8EA4-FD41F2177231@microsoft.com... > That is good news, as I am right now deciding wether to but the ThinkPad > x60 with 1400x1050 screen or the normal 1024x768. > > BUT I have som questions for those with the ThinkPad in house already; > - Is the 1400x1050 screen as bright as the smaller ones? > - Any other cons with such screen? > - How is the ThinkPad screens in general?
