Hey guys, wanna ask something..

If I play games on a 16:9 laptop, will it become like stretched? or black bars on the side of the screen?

Because 16:9 is wider than 16:10 isn't it?

Let's say if I set my game resolution to 1680x1050 to fit my 16:9 screen.

what would happen? then resolution aspect ratio is 16:10 while my screen is 16:9.. surely it won't fit.. hmm.gif

just checked Lenovo G455 specs.

AMD processor? I had some terrible experience with AMD Turion on my compaq.

Is this durable?
