    Kinda on a budget here, debating between a E520 and a L520, i know the W520 and T520 have the same screen (which is one of the few decent screens) the body of the L520 looks pretty much the same to me so i was wondering whether the screen is the same too (anyone got model numbers for those screens by the way?)

    at the moment hte only thing stopping me deciding from the E520 or L520 is the screen, if the L520 is the same as the T520 then that's what i'm getting if it' standard faire for laptops then the E520 it is.

    thanks for any help :)

    According to the HMMs, the part number is the same, 42T0743, which is a LG-Philips LCD. They tend not to re-invent the wheel and it's probably more cost effective to use the same LCD design in multiple notebooks.
