Am I missing it, or does that review fail to discuss if the screen is matte (usable) or glossy (I'll never buy another)? Also, I look forward to the day when 1600x900 is no longer considered high resolution. That should be entry-level for a 13" screen. It looks nice otherwise.

  That's the original X1, the X1 carbon I believe switched to matt.

    Ah, thanks. I was needlessly disappointed.

From the Engadget review (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon-review/ http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon...): "Maximum brightness here is 300 nits, a figure that's a bit underwhelming. It's a fair bit dimmer than the Samsung Series 9, for example, which clocks in at 400, and outdoor visibility in bright sunlight is virtually impossible here. But, Lenovo kindly opted for a matte display, ditching the glossy Gorilla Glass found in the prior X1."
