    Hi again,

    Based on http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo/690606-x220t-vs-x230t.html I want to create a survey: If you could decide between X220t and T430s, which one would you take (and maybe why)? (device cost does not matter)


    The T430s which is about $500 more expensive.
    Now I am absolutely unsure. Currently I have a tablet PC (slate) but I do not use it excessively. However, I like it somehow and I find the device much more interesting than an "ordinary" Laptop.

    The T430s by contrast has a SSD which would be great and a faster processor. I will need to run things like MATLAB on it but excessive simulations are done on a simserver.

    I am very sure that now I would be very happy with the tablet but not with the T430s (it is just yet another ordinary laptop). However, I am not sure about 3-5 years. Will the T430s be more up2date than the X220t then?

    And: I know that the T430s has a stronger CPU and SSD, but: Why is it $500 more expensive? I think the X220t has more features ...
