    I want to buy a Z61t, but the model I am looking at (9440-2cu) is a 14.1" widescreen with a resolution of 1440x900. Will I be able to read anything without using a magnifying glass? I could get the WXGA model (1280x800) but I sacrifice bluetooth and Verison chip. Are those worth it?

    I wasnt aware that the T60 comes in widescreen resolution.

    However if you feel you need to see the differences check this awesome link out. Different resolutions compared

    If your eyesight is good DEFinitely go for the WXGA+.

    Once you go WXGA+ on a 14" you can never go back. You can fit so much more onto the screen than you can on normal WXGA.

    Just got WXGA, and I agree. I'm finding it readable and useful. It's going to make me upgrade my external monitors....
