Any good laptops with 1920x1200 display?

[RaistlinZ]

I'd like to get a laptop with good vertical resolution for productivity. But everything seems to be 1920x1080 these days. Does anyone know of a reputable maker who offiers 1920x1200 displays?

Just off the top of my head, my coworker has a lenovo with a 1920x1200 res. Its like a T61p or something like that, not sure on the other specs.

HP Elitebook 8740w but it's pretty expensive though. Beyond that, it's gonna be tough to find anything that isn't 16:9 resolution now since even the business notebooks are going in that direction. Might be able to find a refurb with that resolution as Chapbass said above in reference to the T61p.

8730w is a good candidate for refurb/used.

Myself - macbook 17" - beautiful screen - pretty cheap. it had a dent and apple replaced the logic board, screen (glossy to matte), upper case, lower case - gratis. 2.66 17" 8gb 320gb 7200rpm - i think it was $1100 used with 1.5 years applecare remaining.

you might say its expensive for used. but it had a warranty, and after the dent removal (seriously i think they took a refurb and swapped my drive over) - awesome-o deal. I usually just RDP in to windows machines so screen and key/trackpad over anything. the battery is not new but man it lasts like 6-7 hours at 50% brightness.

My 8730w is darker at 100% brightness no light sensor - than the macbook @ 50% brightness (no ambient) - how odd is that. i've had the 8730w screen replaced once already.

I'm in the same boat. I have a 4-year old 17" Dell with a 1920 x 1200 display and its fantastic, but getting a little old. I have looked for a 1920 x 1200 17" replacement laptop, with little luck. So far, it looks like the best option is a MacBook 17" - it really boggles my mind that Apple is the most cost effective option. I might just settle for a crap 1080P screen, but I hate the form factor and loss of vertical pixels.

8740W replaced 8730W. you can find both these days. one used obviously. but 3/3/3 warranty might give you coverage. i paid $1150 for my macbook 17" with matte screen 8gb 7200rpm 320gb with applecare
