i'm disappointed that lenovo didnt offer thunderbolt across more of their laptops, especially the X1, as i'm not buying a new pc without thunderbolt.

other than that, the X1 looks like a killer computer. one of the best ever designed.

also kinda surprised lenovo didnt include any high, high res screens like apple is rumored to. that may tip me toward a mbp, especially if the redesign is the use of carbon across all models.

Is the X1 screen matte or glossy?

I'm sure once retina displays from Apple become official, all other notebook vendors will follow and whatever new resolutions offered by Apple will become defacto standards within the industry within a few years.

oh i know that is the standard, just wish someone would finally beat them to the punch.

Well, to be fair, lots of vendors matched and beat Apple to the punch with HD+ and full-HD on laptops...although yes, I expect Apple to be the first to market with >FHD res on their laptops given their focus on 'resolutionary' products.

The biggest news I see here is definitely the IPS screen option in the W530, though some confirmation other than a quick mention at a single site would be very nice. I wonder how much they'll charge for it...

Also, does this line mean mSATA will be a factory option in the upcoming line?

For even faster boot times there will of course be SSD storage options, mini-SATA SSD and RAID 0 or RAID 1 configs thanks to the dual storage bays.

Matte. Lenovo will not go back to glossy displays in any of their Thinkpad products as a matter of principle ... ever ... :-)

Good. I might look at buying one. The glossy screen on the first X1 was ridiculous

The X230 looks like everything I wished it would be if the screen resolution of 1600x900 is true. Faster, IPS screen and longer battery life... I wonder if it still has the old VGA port or if it got any slimmer?

I would replace my X220T with a X230T+1600x900 IPS screen. And of course with the right price and coupons. That would be a big upgrade for me since I look at spreadsheets a lot at my work.

But I wish there's more information regarding the number of displays it can support. I want to be able to drive two external monitors and have the laptop display working at the same time. And I don't mean duplicated desktops either, I wanted extended!!!

You realize that the "old" X1 had in fact a glossy display? The display itself was matte, but because of the gorilla glass the result was very glossy. I don't know about the new model though.

Edit: Sorry, I have misread your post. So know for a fact that the new one will be matte?
