Well I am having to wait a few weeks after pre-ordering my R51E. Now a pretty common experience it seems for Thinkpads. Especially funny in that I can preorder from a website other than Lenovo's first....
Anyway, I was hoping someone could allay a fear I have about the R51E's screen for me. I am coming from an A30P with a Flexview UXGA. While people always say LCDs are blurry when not on their native resolution, I have actually always used XGA resolution with no problems.
This is why I am fine with moving down to an XGA screen. Further, the current tabook lists the R51E's screen as 200 nits, just like the A30P's. This should mean that at XGA the R51E should look as good or better than my A30P, right? I dont really care about viewing angles, but does the Flexview's density make any difference otherwise? Maybe some current R series owners could comment on their screens?
I am asking because I have a found a very good price on a R50P, which has the same screen as my current A30P. For a variety of reasons I would rather go with the R51E, but will I notice a significant loss in screen quality if I do?
Thanks!
