Lenovo did it again - ultracrappy display in flagship model. Real contrast ratio 118:1 only. The same story as X300/X301.

X220 with IPS panel is currently the only option.

Edit: I didn't notice the is already X1 forum http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewforum.php?f=62

Has anybody picked one of these up yet? I have a proposal on my desk to buy a group of 5 for our interns...thought this would be a good place to check and see if they are legit.
