    The FlexView is being phased out as Lenovo can't find a reliable supplier. You may be able to get a pre-configured one, but it will only have the Core Duo, not the Core 2 Duo. I have heard some people calling in and getting them, but I am not sure how they did it.

    Flexview is supposedly still available if you nag a sales representative hard enough, or if they transfer you around and you finally get to talk to the "right" person. But then you have to pay a premium over the regular price.

    For the regular screens, the LG screen is considered to be better than the Samsung screen.

    Thank you guys
    I called and the sales Rep was extrimely helpful , he told me that (as ZaZ said) he can give me flexview display but not on 15.4 and with config. that i want , he can give it to me on max 15.1 and with not T7200 or T7400 cpu , but he left a note so i can get a LG one
    the funny part is i found out now i can get my system even 30 dollars cheaper (100GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm [add $55.25]
    Upgrade and save $65 for a limited time!!!!!!!!!!!) and i have an option to get vista Ultimate instead of Business with 59.00 $ extra , so i asked for it and i got vista ultimate with only 30 dollars extra ,
