    What are the different ones availble on the Thinkpad? Which one is the 15"? Is it likely to survive on the Thinkpad?

    currently, it is all 16:10 ratio, but very soon they will all be moved to the 16:9 ratio like most other laptop manufacturers are doing.

    Which one do you feel is better? 16:9 or 16:10?

    For me, i like the 4:3 format for reading documents, for spreadsheets work that i do, either the 16:10 or 16:9 is fine. Lenovo by using the 16:9 LCD, the price of the laptop will be more competitive or that the laptop would have better standard features, since they no longer have to use the 16:10 LCD, which is bit more expensive to procure than the 16:9 screen.
