Just wanted to let folks know the X301 can drive a 30 inch monitor at 2560x1600 through the digital displayport connector. It's wonderful having a high resolution digital connection and was really my only harp on the x300.

Well, the 128G drive on the x301 is nice as well.

Interesting...Out of curiosity, what was the max resolution you could get out of the X300 via VGA?

The Thinkpad Tabook states that all new Montevina Thinkpads have a maximal external resolution of 2048x1536@75Hz. The new Thinkpads with digital video out are:

R400
T500
X200 (through dock)
X301
W700

Even for the monster Workstation W700, the tabook states:
Max external resolution: 2048x1536@85Hz (DB-15 port); 2048x1536 (DisplayPort)

It is awesome that the X301 can drive 2560x1600 (in native resolution I assume), despite the info in the Tabook that claims otherwise. Gives me hope that I might be able to use the X200 with dock to drive 2560x1600.

Would you mind running a few benchmarks on the 128GB Samsung. I cannot find a single review of it on the internets.

The X301 is running Intel's GMA X4500HD chipset -- rest assured, it supports 2560x1600 and it's running through my DisplayPort connection now.

Not at all. If you can point me to a benchmark app that will run under 64-bit Vista, I'll run and post here.

Wow, that is very interesting, I had the opposite impression from some of the spec sheets. It looked like the resolution was limited to a lower amount.

What about the T400, is that on there?

This creates a real dilemma, the Montevina thinkpads are limited to 4gb of expensive DDR3 memory while the older T61/X61/X300 could use 8gb of much less expensive DDR2 memory. I had been thinking of grabbing an X61 or X300 for that reason.

I'd point out the "85 Hz" part of the specification. Since LCD's run at 60 Hz, this means that there is extra bandwidth.

Interesting. As soon as I get my SSD (64GB Samsung SLC) pimped X200, I will post comparison numbers.
