After a few delays and tons of rumors, Intel's fifth generation notebook platform has arrived. Centrino 2, previously known as Montevina, comes with with it a line of new Core 2 Duo processors, upgraded graphics and Wi-Fi, and DDR3 RAM. One of the first notebooks to be released with Centrino 2 is Lenovo's newest ThinkPad, the X200. This is the update to the X61 which not only had all the new Centrino gear, but moves to a widescreen display.

I've found that widescreens work pretty well if you can settle on a vertical layout for the toolbars, as in this picture. http://www.chara.gsu.edu/~riedel/images/DigitalAxis.jpg
You lose some of the width, but gain back some of the height (of course, that was my old laptop with the 1920x1200 display).
Personally, I don't think 16:10 is a good idea because the canonical widescreen is 16:9. Sure, all that means is you've got black bars, but why do you need them? Only recently (with the new Acer Blu-Ray laptops) is anyone doing that.
