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.

Yes, I have to agree. Hight is much more important than width unless you are dealing with video.
On the other hand on these small notebooks, there is another size to take into account, and that is the size of the keyboard.If the computer is too narrow, it can't hold a normal sized keyboard with the result that they get hard or at least slow to type on.
So, if a wider screen allows for a wider, more normal sized keyboard. I think this a good thing, at least as long as the screen still is reasonably high.
BTW, the screen of the X200 is actually higher thatn that of most X60 models that usually had a 768x1024 pixel screen.
