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.
