Only widescreen, 14.1 for T400 and 15.4 for T500. Nothing really new I
guess. But 1680=C3=971050 on a 14.1" may be enough for standard screen user=
s.

But when I see the resolution choice I'm a bit puzzle:

T400 display:
WXGA(1280x800,98dpi,185+nit)
WXGA+(1440x900,129dpi,200+nit)
WXGA+W/lEDBacklight(1680x1050,129dpi,200+nit)

Except 1280=C3=97800, this is nice, especially 1680=C3=971050.

T500 display:
WXGA(1280x800,98dpi,185+nit)
WSXGA+resolution(1680x1050,129dpi,200+nit)
WXGAw/lEDBacklight(1280x800,98dpi,185+nit)

This is kind of ridiculous. 12800=C3=97800 on a 15" laptop?? This is ok for
low end laptops, not for thinkpads :)


And I wonder how will be managed the =E2=80=9Cdual display card=E2=80=9D th=
ingy,
especially in Linux.
