    15.4" is the largest screen available only because Thinkpads are sold as business notebooks. A 17" notebook would be to big to lug around if your a business professional which is what the Thinkpad line is marketed to.

    Maybe in the future it may become a reality, if as others have suggested that Lenovo will try to make the Thinkpad more mainstream. I hope not. :mad:

    they're already well underway to making it more mainstream, with the widescreens, 15.4" form factor, webcams etc

    I woudn't be surprised to see a 17" notebook from them at this point. I've actually been told a 17" model should be on the way soon.
