X201 tablet Superbright Outdoor Screen or not!

Hi there,

I'm thinking of getting a X201 tablet with the 15% coupon. Any other better coupons or deals for this tablet? The main reason for me to get this laptop is the screen itself rather than the tablet features. I would like a nice IPS screen in an ultraportable laptop. Are there many users here with the Superbright Outdoor Screen? Is it worth getting it? I haven't used laptops outside mainly because I couldn't see anything and always had glossy screens and no battery life. If the opportunity is there, I don't see why I wouldn't use it outside. The normal LED screen is 200 nits and the Superbright screen is 400 nits. Would the 200 nits be enough to use it outside? Apart from brightness, I hear the 400 nits screen is much more vibrant and better all around. What you guys think? Also, what battery life can I expect with a i7-620LM and a 8 cell battery?

Thank you

 

My notebook's screen is 200 nits and it's not usable outdoors, though it's glossy, which probably doesn't help. The IPS screens are very good, but the touch screen effects the PQ.

 

I have 400 nits outdoor viewable screen, and it is pretty useless outdoor... impossible to watch movies.
