    Trying to get an idea of what the T400s touch screen model looks like before ordering one. I've seen an X200 tablet multi touch system and really couldn't bare to look at the screen for more than 15 mins. Are the screens the same or similar on these systems?

    If you own/ordered a T400s, what was your screen choice?

    If you "can't bear" to look at thse screens b/c of the grain introduced by the writing surface, then I would imagine that all tablets may disappoint you. However, I was writing about the grain and wondering how come no one mentions it, b/c I have the X200 Tablet now and it bothered me. A few weeks later, though, it doesn't really bother me anymore.

    They're not even remotely similar.

    The x200 Tablet uses a high quality wide viewing angle display with a dual mode Wacom digitizer (pen & 2-finger touch).

    The T400s uses a standard TN display with an N-Trig (4 finger touch). I've not seen the T400s multi-touch, but I wouldn't be surpised if the touch layer adds a little bit of grain.

    A friend of mine has the Multi-touch T400s, and I was NOT impressed with the screen.
