    In this review they claim 1440X900 for the X201s
    http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-x201s.aspx

    On the Lenovo website they show the displays as being the same for the X201 and X201s. :confused:

    On the Lenovo site it does not list 1440x900 or 1280x800 under the specs. sheet.

    Ugh...what?

    WXGA is DEFINED as 1280x800.
    WXGA+ is DEFINED as 1440x900.

    You're right they don't list these numbers...but they aren't listed as having the same screens, which aspect are you having problems with?

    There might be a shortage for wxga+, so lenovo is only supplying the x201s with the wxga+ screen.

    I suppose they should list the type of resolution the X201 and X201s comes with. On some other review I think I remember them listing the X201s with 1280x800 resolution.
