No, just more contrast (difference) between white and black. Actually, just blacker blacks. I don't remember the text being easier to read. Overall, I just like the 14.1" SXGA+ models way more than the 15" models. For...

I did find the Flexview to have more contrast. I did not find it to have more brightness. It is a much slower screen technology (IPS). Andrew Austin, TX Quote: Originally Posted by kanate You cannot compare...

That is not correct. The hard drive itself has nothing whatsoever to do with the protection system in IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads. The protection is a sensor and software that are independent of the drive. I put a new hard drive in a...

I agree completely. With my bank, if they tell me that a money order or cashier's check is good, they would hand me the money on the spot. They can tell electronically if it is ok. As long as a c.c. or m.o are not based on a bogus bank,...
