Would an IPS screen for an X220 make me overcome my disappointment with the stock display....

....enough to pull the trigger on getting an x220?
I`ve been in the market for quite some time for a new laptop to replace my old 12.1" VIAO and thought I`d finally found one that had most (if not everything) that I was looking for in the X220. Before configuring and ordering, I managed to find a retailer that stocked them, and wanted to make sure the small palm rests wouldn`t be a deal breaker. The palm rests were fine, but I`m still trying to overcome my disappointment with the display (non-premium), which was a real letdown. The main issues I had were:
colour accuracy
contrast
brightness
sharpness
real estate orientation
I know the IPS won`t do anything for the latter (what is with the 16:9 on a machine you`re supposed to work on - I get 38 rows of excel in my old machine, which drops to 25 on a " state of the art" business model X220 ??3!? That`s just retarded!).
Back on track....since I have no hope of actually seeing a live IPS screen before making a very expensive decision, can people please weigh in with their opinion on how much better the IPS is? I mainly use the laptop for productivity software, presentations, architect. dwgs and plans, site plans, PDF creation etc, but also do a lot of photo editing for work and pleasure.
Display quality has always been very important to me, and it would be a hard pill to swallow a mediocre display to get the other great features the machine offers. The sample machine I tried was beside a MBP/Air display, and it was almost enough to make me want to drink the cool aid and move to the dark side - the difference was very large.
Can anyone compare the X220 IPS to MBP/Air displays, or a VIAO Z display?
Thanks very much in advance for any help and insight!

HT4528 How much would a cracked screen for iphone 4S cost, if my phone is still under warranty?

How much would a cracked screen for iphone 4S cost, if my phone is still under warranty?

Razmee209 is correct, out of warranty repair/replacement cost for and iPhone 4s is $199, and the reason you would have to pay for that Kats524 is because accidental damage is not covered under your limited hardware warranty. Hope this helps, best of luck to you.

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

My iPad screen has gone black. I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again. I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using. Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't. It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years! Please help!

When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod

Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod because the ipos photo can send photos to the computer is it possible to send songs

"Is it possible for apple to make itunes able to recieve songs from the ipod'
Apple have designed the iPod deliberately so that the transfer of music is by default one way from iTunes to iPod. The most likely reason is to discourage the use of the iPod for widespread music file sharing. This is a logical step for such a high profile company to take in the current environment. It's especially relevant considering that Apple has to work closely with the music companies to maintain the iTunes Music Store.

So I have been using my iPad for a few months now and I recently noticed that the time display next to the playlist name in the music app that is supposed to display the total song count and time of a playlist is way off. I have a 25 song playlist that is around 2 hours on my computer appears as 2003 minutes on my iPad. It's a smart playlist limited to 25 songs if that makes any difference. Is this happening to anyone else? Any help would be appreciated!

Greetings,
First make an iCal backup, File > Export > Archive.
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal and test.
Hope that helps.

How can I make a report of all records with the date in the last two weeks?

Hi!
I have records with a date field, I want to create a report that only includes records with a date which is within the last two weeks of the system date, is this possible? Surely this is a basic database function, I would have thought, but I can find no help about it and there's very little in Mac Help about doing anything other than simple stuff with reports.
I'm not a genius with databases, so help with any required formula or what have you would be great!

Hi Jonathan,
Here's a formula you can use with the Match function. 'Date' is the name of the date field, which must be a "Date" type field.
'Date'>NOW()-14
Match will select (highlight) all records matching the query. You'll then need to use Organize > Hide Unselected to show only the matches.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to make the NOW() function work in a Find request, and neither Match requests nor Hide Unselected can be included in a recorded search, either of which would reduce repeating the report to a one-button operation.
Regards,
Barry

HT1918 i have just made my apple id.i have made this for itunes.after making my account i have problen with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do no

i have just made my apple id. i have made this for itunes. after making my account i have problem with the review payment information as i do not use any credit cards and there is no option like NONE in review payment information. what should i do now? to proceed further? plz help me!

How did you create the account ? If you followed the instructions on this page when creating it then you should have got the 'none' option : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. on a computer's iTunes, if currently signed into an account then you logged out of it, and you then found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
And then clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
When I tried that process to create an account a few days ago I got the 'none' option on the payment details screen.
If you didn't use that process then you will need to create a new account using it (the instructions won't work with an existing account).

Lock up with the apple displayed in the center of the screen? what to do?

I have an iPad2 that loccked up on a black screen with the Apple displayed in the center. i cannot power off or anything. any suggestions?

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should (re-)appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot

Blue screen of death? I just updated my MacBook Air with the latest OX (25 Jun 11). When I restart - I get the Apple logo and then a blue screen and nothing else. Help!!!

Insert the install disk and press c on startup. Select your langauge then, if there's a menubar click utilities then click Disk Utility. If you didn't see the menubar continue with the installer until you see it.
Once in disk utitly select the drive and repair permissions.
After the repair is done, quit the utiltiy.
You can try to reboot and see if it works if you reboot, but if it doesn't repeat the same as before again.
Now you can continue with the installer and install the os.
Quit

Hi again,
this may be old news to some people, but I just realized we can have the desired benefits I originally listed (encapsulation, reuse, maintainability, security) TODAY by using pipelined functions and using the table() function in Apex report region queries.
So the report query basically becomes, for example (if get_employees is a pipelined function)
select * from table(my_package.get_employees(:p1_deptno))
The only downside compared to a (weakly typed) sys_refcursor is that you have to define the type you are returning in your package spec (or as an SQL type). So it's a bit more coding, but it's still worth it for the other benefits it provides.
I like Apex even better now! :-)

I use 2 to 3 computers for my photo retouching, can I get them activated with the same serial number? for Photoshop Elements 13, and premier elements 13

You can activate any two of them at a time, but if you want to use it on a third computer you will need to deactivate one of them before you can do so. To do that, go to Help>Sign Out.

Previous computer crashed without my Adobe CS3 Design Standard for Macintosh application being uninstalled, I'm having issues with the CS3 on my new Macintosh laptop. Please help!

Since the previous computer crashed without my Adobe CS3 Design Standard for Macintosh applications being uninstalled, I'm having issues with the CS3 on my new Macintosh laptop. Please help, I've tried using the online "contact us" with no success, unable to get in contact with a tech support agent that can assist me.

CS3 is too old to run on a new Macintosh laptop, sorry. You'll have to purchase CS6 or a Creative Cloud subscription.
