I'm considering the multi-touch T400s. Our company develops software for touch-screen PCs amongst other things, so it will be more than just a gimmick for me. Has anyone had hands-on experience with that T400s yet? My questions are:

1) Does it weigh more than a standard T400s? How much?

2) Is the quality of the screen itself any better (or worse) compared to the standard T400s? Contrast, black-level, viewing angles? I believe it's not an IPS screen, right?

3) While there are positive reviews, for example here ...

... whenever I look at actual videos, for example the one in that review, the screen seems quite unresponsive to me. There is a lot of repeating of clicks for example, even on big icons. Would anyone with hands-on experience care to comment?

Wondering the same thing. I ordered with the multitouch yesterday, but am now having second thoughts. At the time I hadn't read (and didn't expect) there would any negative impact to the general screen. Would be great to hear from somebody who has seen or used the MultiTouch display.

Bump!

Someone have a T400s with that screen and a scale? I've seen the photos; screen is a bit thicker, but an exact weight would be nice to know. Tabook doesn't say last time I looked (specifically for T400s with the multi-touch screen). Don't forget to tell us your battery and Ultrabay option, if non-standard. Anyone? Thanks!

The T400s MT lid is about twice as thick as the non-MT lid. It is heavier (not sure about the numbers but it feels much heavier, both have the same 6 cell battery) and the screen is as bad (or good) as the one on the X200T. I was looking forward to use the Win 7 MT gimmicks but decided to stay with a non-MT T400s for weight and screen quality reasons.

Thank you. Doesn't the X200T have an IPS screen? If the T400s multi-touch also had one (but somehow I doubt it), that would surely put it in a league above the normal screen, no? Also, does anyone have actual weight numbers, please?
