    Dear,

    I want to buy Fujitsu-Siemens S7020D Notebook Because of
    it's Weight & Portability.

    I See that this notbook is available with 2 different Displays:

    1) a XGA CrystalView Display

    2)a SXGA+ Display (non-CV)

    Does anyone know which of these display is better?(Resolution

    is not too important to me.-I see only SXGA+ version Display.is

    there any big difference between XGA-CV & SXGA+ Non-CV displays?)

    thanks.

    One is a matte screen (the sxga+ one) and the CV one is glossy. It all comes down to your preference of matte vs. glossy screen, since res doesn't matter to you.

    I really like their CV diplays, but qwester is right, it's personal.

    There are a lot of complaints about the light leakage on the S7020. How about light leakage in the SXGA+ (the non-CV version)? Is there light leakage in that one? Anyone have a picture of the two screen types side-by-side?

    I haven't been able to find a real picture of the non-CV screen on the S7020. If anyone knows where I can see a picture of the non-CV screen in action or if anyone have a non-CV S7020 can post a picture, that'd be awesome.

    Also, with a resolution of 1400x1050, that seems awfully small. Most laptops that have that sort of resolution are at least 15". Is 1400x1050 really too small to deal with?
