    Hi,


    I was about to order a W510 with a FHD when I noticed Lenovo put back the FHD Multi Touch display option back.

    Can anyone say it's worth the $200 premium over the FHD display w/o multi-touch? I'll be using the W510 mostly for photo/video editing and a few games here and there.


    Any input would be great.

    do you have any use for it, other than whoa factor? If you the only purpose of having it, is just for the fun of it and you can't find actual real life application for using it. Then i would suggest you don't get it.

    I'd much rather have their color calibration. I'd look at getting a top seller model. If I had the money I'd get 4319-2RU

    I'd love to have it but not if the display quality is compromised. I know with tablet PCs the screens often look washed out.

    the screen quality is affected with the multitouch functionality, but that is okay if you have real use for them. But given that you are asking about it on this forum, then it simply shows that you have no use for it.

    Don't get it. The screen wont look as crisp and the multitouch functionality is a joke. I had a x201t that I sent back partly for that reason.
