Just wanted ozB's opinion on both deals!
Cheers
Looks like they finally added the 1600x900 resolution option to the E440. I have been checking on the Lenovo site for months and only seeing 1366x768. Good on you Lenovo :-)
Touch at that resolution is a bonus as well.
The value of this deal would depend on the quality of the screen they ship it with. I recently returned an E540 because the vertical viewing angle was only 20 degrees. The E540 was pretty good apart from that :-)
