New X230 is supposed to offer a 1600x900 LCD...but has lost the traditional 
7-row ThinkPad keyboard along the way...

Pick your poison, so to speak...

Cheers,

Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] ThinkPad X Tablets with high res screen

 
 
 
This is a real shame...   I've had 1400x1050 for several years, and  
loved it.  And I've never had/used a separate monitor.  As I look at  
future machines, they're all made for watching movies, not for  
computing.    I rarely use my computer for movies, and most of those are  
4x3 format.   Documents, emails, PDFs are all  portrait mode, but the  
screens are all landscape.  I'll even include things like Quicken and  
Google and most web pages.  They don't need wider screens, their data  
must be scrolled vertically.   I can see less of my documents (fewer  
lines at a time),  and I can't even make the font smaller to compensate  
because of the lower screen resolution... 
 
It's almost as if the only way to continue to use a laptop for real work  
is to buy a separate monitor and turn it on end... 
 
I know the ones here don't control it, but am I the only one that feels  
frustrated that the screens are growing the wrong way?
