    It looks like the X200 Tablet is the newest tablet PC Lenovo has come out with. Other than internal specs, the LED screen, and the smaller size, has the touchscreen accuracy, etc. been improved as well? Is there less "lag" and more "precision" in writing with the X200 vs. the X61? Would you recommend buying the X200 over the X61?

    Is the resolution on the X200 higher than the X61?

    Also, is either the X200 or the X61 the "best" tablet PC on the market as far as touchscreen capabilities are concerned, or is a better one out there?

    Anybody have any thoughts on this?

    SXGA+ vs. WXGA, etc.

    I personally think SXGA+ on a 12" screen is ludicrous. That has to equates to 144dpi. I think this is way too high for any kind of text based work. 1280x800 on my x200 makes the text feels a little small but it is workable and displays any one application very well. It is also good for media due to its ability to play back 720p content without scaling.

    The main advantage of SXGA+ is its use in portrait mode. Many websites, and several applications are designed to be readable at XGA (1024x768). If your resolution is below 1024 pixels wide you have to scroll a lot. This way you can get a very tall reading layout 1050x1400 with the portrait mode and not have to scroll side to side (very few webpages render properly at a 800x1280 resolution).
