Erm, no. The X200, their previous model, has a better 1440x900 screen. Screen resolution has nothing to do with portability, there's nothing to sacrifice. All previous X series models had the high resolution option, now with the latest model it's just not there.
And it's not only the X series that doesn't have good screens anymore.
I have 5 ThinkPads, all of them high resolution, and all of them have a higher resolution than any ThinkPad sold today. And I own two X series models.
- sliverstorm 15y agoAh, you are talking about a lack of a high-res option. I was not aware they got rid of that. If I had to guess, I'd bet lack of demand killed it off. Most people seem comfortable with the standard resolutions of today, and if I recall from my X61, the high-res screen was an extra $200. As for portability, I believe a higher resolution screen tends to result in a small hit on battery life, and the back of my mind is telling me they tend to be bulkier. Grain of salt though.
