    Hi everyone,

    I'm considering to buy the ThinkPad X61 Tablet, but I got some problem with the Video Resolution. I need a resolution MORE than 1024x768.

    By customizing this laptop from the Lenovo website, I’ve got the two following options:
    1) 12.1" SuperView WVA SXGA+ TFT, 2x3 UltraConnect II antenna
    2) 12.1" MultiView + MultiTouch WVA XGA TFT

    If I’ve understood well, the first option has got a resolution of 1400x1050 and it will be ok, but is not touch screen, is it? I mean, I can always use the pen as input?

    The second one seems perfect for a tablet laptop but it has got 1024x768 and it is really espensive (you have to add almost $500 and the resolution will be decreased...).

    What is the real difference between these two options concerning the multi touch applications? Also the first one can be considered a touch screen or not?

    Thanks.

    The SXGA+ screen is not multitouch so you can only use the pen.

    Thank you ZaZ!

    Another thing before to proceed with the buy...

    I was thinking to buy also the media base and the DVD writer from the Lenovo website, my shopping cart states:

    Mobile media base: ThinkPad X6 Tablet UltraBase
    Media base bay devices: DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim

    I don’t understand… this means that there will be only one mobile media base equipped with the DVD Recordable too? Or these are two separate media bases?

    Thanks again…

    There will be one dock with a modular drive.
