16:9 Laptops

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

I am having a heard time finding laptops by screen dimension. Most web
sites allow searching by screen size, but I want to find all the
laptops that are 16:9 instead of 4:3.

So far, I have found a couple of Dells, HP, Toshiba and of course the
iMacs. I would really like to be able to find a IBM ThinkPad or
Fujitsu.

Really appreciate any / all help. I had already posted this request to
comp.laptops but have got no response (

either search by widescreen, 15.4" (typical widescreen size), or
simply visit a good Japanese bookstore in your area (like Kinokunyua if
you're around one), and pickup the latest issue of Best PC or PC User
magazine -- you'll usually have a listing of each and every available
widescreen for that market (most models also available in other
countries) with all of the specs.

BTW, I finally bought a HP DV4000 with:

* 80 Gb (4200RPM) Hard Drive
* DVD/CD +/- R/RW
* 1Gb RAM

from Costco for $1,299.99.
