IPS display option doesn't allow for a webcam??
IPS display option doesn't allow for a webcam??
Hey guys.
I'm customising the ThinkPad here and I want to include an IPS display. I assume that is the one labelled "Premium HD". Problem is, it's only available with a 3x3 antenna which removes the option of including a camera (as written on the webpage, "An integrated web camera is not allowed on displays that include a 3x3 antenna").
Does this mean that I am unable to have an integrated webcam with an IPS display? I have seen the obvious advantages of such a display over the normal LCD display and thus would like to have one in my ThinkPad, but it would also be ideal to have an integrated webcam. Is this really impossible, or am I missing something?

Must be a quirk. Call Lenovo or wait a day. Mine has IPS and a 2x2 and a web cam.

The choices have been like this for more than a day. It was the same when I looked at it a week ago. Perhaps it is unavailable in the UK or something? I'm going to contact Lenovo about it.

I wish they would just call it "IPS" display.
I ordered the Multitouch display with 2x2 antenna not meant for outdoors. I presume it is IPS. I also got the camera.
Device Manager identifies my monitor as:
"Wide viewing angle & High density Flexview Display 1366x768"
In any case, after less than 36 hours, I like it.

I ordered about two weeks ago.

Must be a UK thing. I get 4 choices in the US - not 3.

Look at some preconfigured models in the Tabook_WE.pdf. It may have the configuration you want.

Sadly, none of those configurations offer a backlit keyboard, and I can only seem to be able to buy them for €1200 from some German website.dr_st wrote:Look at some preconfigured models in the Tabook_WE.pdf. It may have the configuration you want.
Additionally, I've found that the American website sells the laptop for considerably less than the UK website - while the UK website's price is c. £1000, the American website's price approximates $800. Would it be more worthwhile to buy the laptop from the american website with the correct configuration, and buy a backlit UK keyboard and replace the keyboard that it comes with (since it would be a US layout keyboard)?
