    It's available on the X61 Tablet, so why can't I get it on the normal X61?

    This just may dissuade me from getting one, unless it will be coming soon. Any info?

    Unfortunately it will not come out for the X60 and X60s.

    Then, I can't imagine why they wouldn't put it on their newer models, especially if they can somehow cram it into a tablet... =/

    I personally think SXGA+ would be hard on the eyes, but something a little higher would be nice.

    I do not see why it isn't an option. Although, now that I think about it, the only 12" SXGA screens I have seen are on Wacom tablets (Toshiba M200 and M400, X61t). Maybe they don't make regular 12" screens with the SXGA res. Not a hundred percent sure though.

    Probably the same reason why Lenovo isn't making the T60 with IPS screens anymore; they don't have enough supply.

    I thought they stopped making the T60 with IPS screen because they discontinued the 15" T60? :confused:
