Yes, I said non-widescreen laptop. I used a friend's widescreen for a couple days and I wanted to throw it under a bus and then jump in front of it to end my suffering. Could anyone please tell me what were the later model(s) Dell or HP laptops that had the old non-widescreens? I tried contacting both Dell and HP and they were completely clueless. It was as if I was speaking a foreign language.

I have an HP I got in '03 and want to upgrade to a later model non-widescreen laptop. I do not play games nor watch movies on it. I actually use it for work and school. I know this means getting a puter made in '07 to early '08 time frame. That is just fine with me. Thanks!

In Nov. of 2007, I bought a Dell Latitude D520 that is 4:3 (non-widescreen). I hope to make it last as long as humanly possible. I thought at the time it might be the last model that was not widescreen, but I think I saw a 530 or 620 or 630 or something that was also 4:3. Good luck.

I just checked newegg, they do not sell ANY non-widescreen laptops
you should try ripping the screen off of a laptop and bolting on a desktop screen, but 4:3 desktop screens are getting rare too

Dell Outlet has refurb and "scratch & dent" Latitude D520s and D530s for sale. Filter on screen size = 15" (not 15-point-something) to find them. I have a 520 and the 530s tempt me since it is probably the last 4:3 laptop out there, but it's just not enough of an improvement over my 520.
