Whoa....

So far so good when reading about the A series
Thinkpads. Finally, IBM offered modem/network
functionality built in. I have three concerns:

#1. Video chipset? (It does say they have 16megs)
    I am hoping for S3s 3D chipset since it smacks
    around the venerable ATI Rage 3D portable chipset.
#2. Case design and finish (It looks like the i series)
#3. 1400x1050 resolution. I try to match my desktop
    resolution(s) to my notebook. I kept my desktop
    @ 1024x768 until I got my 770z and went with
    1280x1024. At least IBM is matching Dell right now
    for resolutions.
