Hi there,
I am about to purchase a new ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3rd Gen) 2015 and am contemplating on getting a touch version or not of the QHD (2560 x 1440) IPS panel. The touch aspect is not too important to me and I would be willing to pay the €100 surcharge only if I won't have to expect any abundant downsides. I am wary about some possible disadvantages, which I could not confirm anywhere and I am hoping someone reading this has some answers to the following questions:
Does the X1 2015 Touch weigh more than the Non-Touch?
If so, how much heavier is it?
Can both screens achieve the same maximum brightness?
Are both screens comparibly glare-free?
What about power consumption?
Does the Touch consume more power? If so how much more?
