Seems like a cheaper, thinner version of the X230T?

And possibly less well-built, I've read that the keyboard is not as good as "real" ThinkPads (including the latest island-type)... Some other hands-on comments...

BTW, AFAIK, it has no active stylus.

But yeah, thinner and lighter, and that's good.

Cheers.

By cheaper i meant less welt-built

But no stylus? Thats a major miss!

I see... : )

Was delighted to see they got it into a thinner and lighter package until realizing that there's no stylus.

Cheers.
