  Thinkpads native resolution is 1024 x 768. In fact, most laptops from 2004 to around mid 2006 has their resolution set as that. It's only recent that widescreen became popular... but I hate widescreen...

  CAD is best handled on a PC. Seriously, you can kill a laptop with CAD.
  
  Even for high end ones, running CAD for less than one hour, you will notice significant slow down. A restart will solve the problem.

  the better rez comes with better price tags,
  
  But for personal use, i am departing from Thinkpads, i am looking into MacBooks now.
  
  I find that thinkpad's thinkadvantage has become too bothersome.

  macbooks use mac osx obviously rite?

  Please, they are students. And you think how long they will spend on this software? It's less than a day. If you are a working adult and going to spend more than half a day on it, you will be cursing the laptop...
