It true any thing over that resolution Microsoft will not give a xp license and force them to include a vista license. It wouldn’t be so bad if it did not come with all that crapware. I got 10% to 15% performance increase after installing just a fresh crapware free version of vista VS the original XP install.

Its Microsoft that doesn’t want screens bigger than 1024 across. That’s why the HP Mini 1000 dropped the WXGA screen of its cousin, the Mini-Note 2133.

Lenovo reps told me the S9 is primarily a non-US unit.

Bruce: you might have answered your own question. If they used a higher resolution display, it would probably cost more for the unit due to the higher priced component. It could also be the Microsoft ULCPC requirements for usage of XP, but that’s speculation on my part.

I love laptops this small but I hate the screen resolution. Why don’t they make the screen WXGA 1280×800? Then they would sell like hotcakes at $349!
