In my somewhat informed opinion, you will only get 16:9 from Lenovo on the 2011 and 2012 models, and probably from the other manufacturers as well. How one is supposed to be able to use a 16:9 screen for any coding, report writing, spreadsheet work, and even *reading*, I have no clue. Hell, it is useless even for presentations, and that's saying something... I mean, I can get some use out of 16:9 >22" screens as I just use them as if they were two smaller screens side by side or get a monitor that lets me rotate the screen, but in a small notebook? IMO tablets WILL kill the notebook in the next five years, if only because a tablet can be used in the proper orientation for serious work (including reading) AND you can attach a bluetooth keyboard to it. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
