I'm not sure what definition of "wide" and "non-wide" you're using, but conventionally, the former refers to a 16:10 or 16:9 screen(*), and the latter to a 4:3 (or for one generation, 5:4 in the case of 1280x1024).

The Vostro 1320 is a 16:10 widescreen.

13.3" Widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) Anti-Glare Display
13.3" WXGA (1280 x 800) Display with TrueLifeTM

Compare the Latitude D600/D610 (14.1" non-wide, at 1024x768 or 1400x1050) to the D620/D630 (14.1' non-wide, at 1280x800 or 1440x900) while the D520 hung around as a last remaining non-widescreen in the Latitude line for a while (IIRC, your choice of a 15' or a 14.1' in a 15' bezel.)

(* although some sizes, like 1366x768 or 1366x765 or 1024x600 merely approximate 16:9 )
