    I've just noticed on my T42 that I've had for 2 years...

    The screen is off-center like the T61.

    LOL :laugh:

    It's not as noticeable as the T61, but all you T4x owners - have you noticed it too? It's only slightly noticeable.

    I never noticed it on mine though I can't check it since I don't have it anymore.

    Here's a picture of a T42. Let's all look and ponder shall we?

    Seems like the left bezel is slightly wider than the right, but it might just be an illusion because of the design.

    julietlima, did you measure with a ruler? What are the dimensions?

    I don't see it. Maybe a side by side comparison would show more.

    You can see it, the left bezel has more area while the right bezel is shorter.

    It is very similar to the X61 which is also slightly off center (very minimal). It also took me a couple of months to notice.

    If I remember - I'll measure it tonight. I admit, it's not very apparent in your pic.

    well, this goes to most 4:3 laptops. It's not that much as on the T61 though ..

    it was after I bought my T61 that I had to look at my HP Pavilion screen and yes, it was off centered. Then I looked at a Dell Latitude D520 that I'm using at work, and same thing :D
