What do all these screen configurations mean? XGA, WXGA, SXGA+, WXGA+ and WSXGA+ … What is the difference?

I was always asked which one is better? Well, the simple rule is - the higher resolution, the better screen.

Lenovo laptop screen has different sizes of 12, 14 and 15 inches. Beyond that, there are normal screen and wide screen in each size group. Which size/one is better? It all depends on personal preference. One thing need to mention, T61- 8891 and T61- 8897 which all have 14 – inch normal screen are discontinued. If you prefer 14 – inch normal screen, act now, there won’t be a lot of brand new ones in the market for sure.
