    As far as I am aware in the Thinkpad series, the X61s and X61T and the X61, but they have been replaced by wide-screen models now (X200/X200s). But I have been told a top spec X61s is only about 15% slower than the new machines... good luck with it. I am sure you can get a good deal on the above. There may be some T60/T61 models as well with 4/3 ratio ...

    None of the new ones offer it. If you want a 4:3 ThinkPad, I'd suggest the X61 or the T61, which were the last of the standard ThinkPads. The T61 commands a bit of a premium since not as many were made.

    Divide 1024 by 768... (it's 1.33, which is the same as 4:3)
