    Yeah, I know, two completely different goals in mind with the design of the T430 and X1 Carbon, but nonetheless they're both 14-inchers so the screen size is at least the same and I had both on hand so put together a video comparison.



    Note how hilariously thick the T430 looks next to the X1 Carbon.

    Another excellent video, thanks Andrew. You can really see the drastic change in thickness and display.

    If you put the X1C LCD into the T430, I'd be very interested in that product.

    Throw in the trackpad, screen, and keyboard into the t430s and they would sell them by the boatload.

    The screen alone would be a boon! If they increased the trackpad's size while making it glass(y) like the X1C that would be icing on a creme filled cake. (I'm not a big fan of the button design.)
