Though I believe it's been covered here before, and a little off topic, I totally agree that screen proportion is another huge issue.

It's for this reason that I can't bring myself to upgrade my Lenovo X61t. A 4:3 1440x1050 12.1" screen is vastly superior to anything available today. God, how I wish the new Lenovo tablets came in 4:3.

I am still running a Toshiba Portege m200 for the same reasons: a 4:3 1440x1050 12.1" screen, a discrete gfx card (32M Geforce 5200). It's getting a bit long in the tooth, as it is a 2005 computer, but two keyboards and three batteries later, it still runs as new.

God, how I wish there were new 12" laptops in 4:3.
