I will update you the latest X1 news.

The X1 looks like a 13 in version of ThinkPad Edge without optical drive.

Glossy screen? Or at least looks like very reflective if those are real pictures (photographs I mean).

Can We Please Get A 1600x900 Option?

Interesting, although I don't see why this computer would have to have a different name than the X120e and Edge series: it seems to be pretty much the same type of laptop. Specs are nice, although not all that impressive. A 1600x900 screen would be nice to see, but its absence is also not surprising.

That is what I was thinking. I know how you feel, I was hoping for an x301 successor with HD+. I feel so disappointed about Lenovo's release this year. Why can't they release a laptop with decent HD+ screen for 12-14 from factor.

[floz23]

Even sony is dragging its feet with the Vaio SA, which is supposed to have a 1600x900 premium display. Very frustrating, I have excellent eyesight, and I want high resolution.

Ouch. X1 is not even a convertible tablet. It's so 20th century.

• 13.3 ″ HD (1366 × 768, 350 Nits)

I really hope the resolution isn't 1366x768

[WyrmHF]

I really hope the resolution isn't 1366x768

In fact they are transitioning to the more advanced resolution, 16 pixels by 9 pixels. Each pixel will be represented by a light bulb. And if you have a dead pixel you can simply go to a Walmart store and replace it with a new bulb. Yea!
