    Are the SL500 vs. T500 screens the same?

    Does Lenovo use the same screens in the SL500 and the T500 models?

    I am on the fence between the two machines but a higher quality screen is something I would pay extra for.

    according to lenovo, the two machines are built differently altogether.
    if you are willing to pay extra, the extra durability (mechanical) of the T400 is worth it, IMO

    And which screen are you asking about, specifically?

    Sorry I should have been more specific.

    The WXGA screen is the one I am interested in.

    I got the above info from lenovo sales
    I don't know the answer to your question
    I don't like referring people to the manufacturer as it beats the purpose of the forum, but I know they have the answer
