Linked by Amjith Ramanujam on Wed 16th Jul 2008 22:22 UTC
Intel 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.

Perhaps a bit OT, but is it just me who prefers laptop displays with 4:3 (or 5:4) aspect ratio to 16:10? They're getting increasingly difficult to find nowadays. I want height, not width.


I have a T60 which is one of the last Thinkpads with a 4:3 display (I think it is the last T series with a 4:3 aspect ratio). I prefer the 4:3 laptop LCDs but you are right they are harder to find now. Not only that but try finding a slipcase for a non-widescreen laptop. In my search I have found none that snugly fit a 14 inch 4:3 Thinkpad.
