I am looking for a laptop with the following in order of preference:

15.4 widescreen
Thin
Centrino Duo

Our company prefers IBM followed by HP. i took a glance at the IBM site and didn't really find any widescreen laptops so i figured rather than try to configure 2 dozen models i would ask you guys since I'm sure someone knows if i am on a wild goose chase.
Thanks
 
the only widescreen offered by ibm is the z60 series. the z60t has a 14in wide screen, and the z60m as the 15in wide screen.
 
I'd still go with the IBM before HP if you're buying in bulk. They have the most wonderful customer service I ever experienced. This, when I owned an out of date T21 series notebook. That to me says something about standing behind their products.

..though I have no experience with HP making my previous statement pretty much worthless :p

Why widescreen though?
 
I went with the z60m with the following config

Dothan 2.0ghz
1.5GB ram
15.4" widescreen
8x DVD Recorder
100GB SATA drive
128MB x600 video card
802.11abg / bluetooth
Titanium cover
Extra AC/DC charger
Port replicator
Extra 9 cell battery

I would have went 2GB ram, but that was the straw that broke the camels back
 
Sweet laptops. We have some X41's sitting here at work and I've been tempted to get one to have an ultra portable.

It was a tough choice between an ultra portable or a nice work horse, i decided to go with the work horse. I dont carry it often and this way when i take it home on the weekends i can play games with it. As for why the widescreen, i use and asus m6000 at home and i love the widescreen.
