    Hi, I'm new to this forums. What I'd like to know is that how can I tell the difference between two t43 thinkpad models casings with only knowing their model numbers? One of them is sharp at the bottom edge. I noticed the same thing for the T60p thinkpads.
    Here is an image of the difference.

    Is one a 14" while the other a 15"?

    Can't tell. I simply noticed the difference while searching for some t43/t60p offers on the web. Maybe it has something in common with the difference between the "p" and the lighter version?

    The P models use the same case. Since the 15" has a taller screen, it would necessitate a deeper base. IDK, just a guess on my part. Maybe one of the pictures was mislabeled.

    The sharp edge means 15".
