Hurts doesn't it? Lenovo swears "the panels just aren't made anymore" yet Microsoft, Apple, Google etc all seem to get their weird ass ratios just fine.

Macbook Pro because i'm not poor
Acer
x220 i7 here, recently bought an IPS panel for it. see no need to upgrade in the near future, it's literally enough for everything i need it for
X230 with xx20 keyboard mod
That being said, I'd like a W701ds, but the prices are up the ass for a working unit
Performance-wise X220 is enough for a laptop, now that the mobile CPUs are sneaking in and offer similar or even smaller performance. I just want AMD so I don't have a swiss cheese CPU with tons of security issues. The ideal laptop is not the new X285, it would be X220 with AMD. X285 is horrible abomination compared to X220.

Lenovo are just chink cunts who are full of lies. There are plenty of 3:2 panels available, but none of them are the bargain-basement variety that they like to stick in their expensive fleet machines. It's all about margins. I swore off buying new Lenovo laptops some time ago, but now I may discontinue buying used ones as well. They're honestly no better than a Dell Latitude or an HP Elitebook at this point, barring the TrackPoint (but if Dell and HP were smart they would just copy the design, since the patents expired last year).
