As per title. I don't use a digitizer much, but it's REALLY handy sometimes. Any thoughts on whether the next version might include one? Why would they leave it off the Y2P? (does having a digitizer filter make the screen slightly fuzzy or something?)

Just buy another tablet PC instead. Tablet PCs were initially meant for business and artist use. Don't expect the IdeaPad line from Lenovo to cater to business or artistic uses.
The active digitizer adds to the cost and the thickness of the screen , not to mention it does add some extra weight.
You can buy the ThinkPad Yoga if you are loyal to Lenovo and want something with an active digitizer.
Most people who are fascinated by touch screens don't care about having an active digitzer , Apple has shown that with their iPad (they took the name from Fujitsu , a famous tablet PC manufacturer). -
A graphics professional, besides digitizer, is likely to require a high accuracy screen. Better GPU would not hurt ether. These changes would raise the price so much it will put the computer in a different category.

Thanks. I'd use it not for being an artist, but for taking notes, brainstorming, etc. I would have thought that along with thin+light would be really useful for business... not buying the ThinkPad because I'm not quite sold on the form factor + weight differential.
E.g. the Surface 2 Pro has a digitizer, not sure it is meant for 'artist' use per se, but it seems to do ok... (just too small a screen size for my needs) -
The ThinkPad Yoga is quite light. It's even lighter than my X230t and when my X230t is in my bag , I forget its even there and I have to check if its actually there.
Active digitizers are far superior when it comes to note taking as well.
How likely is a digitizer on the Y2P successor?
