Interesting. I may be in the market for a new general purpose laptop in early 2010. I currently use a Thinkpad R61 and I'm reasonably happy with it although the Intel wireless is hopeless under the currently-installed Jaunty (haven't tried upgrading yet, I work around it with a PC wifi card). It's a 15.4" screen with a resolution of 1680x1050 and that's really spoilt me. While I find 15.4" a little hefty when out and about, I really like the high resolution. I was looking around the Lenovo site and it seems like they don't offer as high resolutions anymore on the 14" models. I might have been willing to go down to 1440x1050 or 1440x900 but it doesn't seem available. I was interested in what other brands were highly valued but your post has made me more likely to stick with Thinkpads, if I could find a good balance of size vs. resolution..
