Has anyone used both machines? While I know both are XGA, has the quality of the X60 screen improved since the X30 series? I mean in terms of glare from the sun, contrast, clarity etc..

One day it would be great to sit at the beach with a laptop but my current T42 screen (standard 15") just gets washed out by sunlight.

I've seen some nice Toshiba screens at the computer shop, they seem much darker and smoother, more contrast-rich..

Basically I am looking to downsize to an X32 or X60s ..

I'm curious about that too. Would love to have a laptop that's useable outdoors.

The X60s is a tad better then my current X31.
But not by much, that UltraLight type screen should be much better tough... too bad that Lenovo din't even knew they where offering it on their X60 range... I had to Tell them at their Cebit boot ...

What's this about an ultralight screen? What model do I find it on? This is the first I've heard of it.

It has a Higher NIT rating, and thus a higher brightness, resulting: better contrast and colours.

(If I was correct: 180Nits. v.s. 130Nits)

But since 12" laptop are to small anyway to do some decent foto editing I will take the cheaper normal screens... unless an ultrabright model crosses my way... (So I am not going to search for it

How would I find out which models offer it? Look for UltraLight, or UltraBright? From memory UltraBright was on the Txx series wasn't it? Now I'm getting confused..

Is it only on the X60, and not on the X60s? That would be disappointing

The latest tabook.pdf lists model 1702-94U (X60s) as the only one with the Ultralight screen.

Wicked! Although then I miss out on Bluetooth again. What a drag.

Where do you find the nit rating for the panels?
