    I saw the new X200t from lenovo with the new multi touch screen usable with 2fingers AND the new CPU 2.13ghz low voltage. the new screen is available on the website but not with the new CPU.

    1/where can I get both?
    2/do you think this X200t has the new multi touch screen , since it has the new CPU 2.13ghz, it makes me think that maybe...(the seller did not answer, but I wanna know; just curiosity)

    I don't think so. The seller would likely explicitly say. The Enhanced Multi-Touch costs more so you would want potential customers to know that.

    my question is:
    is it possible to buy the 2.13ghz version without the new enhanced multi touch screen?

    Check the tabook, but most probably. I don't see any reason for tying the EMT screen to a CPU...

    like jaredy said, check the current thinkpad systems reference ( link).   new topseller and preconfigured models have been listed with the SL9600 and are available both with and without the new EMT display.

    can you give your opinion the new screen (brightness, quality and responsiveness etc etc)and the new CPU?

    (when I see the quality of the superbright screen, I really don't know if the touchscreen is good choice) what's your advice?

    btw: where did you buy yours?

    the new EMT panel is great.   i've used literally every IPS and AFFS panel (but not the new AFFS+ LED panels) IBM and lenovo have ever offered and find it hard to fault the new EMT display at a core level.   the only time i can tell it's S-PVA is on an all-black screen, and even then it's not very noticeable.   the polycarbonate writing surface controls fingerprints very well and doesn't affect clarity of the display until extreme angles.

    personally, i'd get the EMT panel given the choice and budget.   windows 7 makes it useful for resizing, panning, and scrolling with ease.   the combination really makes a tablet function like a tablet should.

    the SL9600 is surprisingly quick.   i haven't pushed it much with CPU-intensive tasks since i have an 8-core workstation for that stuff.   battery life has been proving itself lately and gives me about 6~7 hours on a balanced power scheme during normal tasks (wireless, email, office, and the occasional photoshop, illustrator, and sketchbook pro sessions).

    Yes. It shows up in many of the newer topsellers (e.g. 7450-9SU), and was available for a brief period on the main US site (haven't seen it in months though).

    That being said, the SL9400 (1.86GHz) is more than fast enough for the vast majority of applications. I wouldn't spend too much of a premium to get the 2.13GHz model (although if the premium is small I'd certainly go for it).

    I love my SuperBright (old 285 nit model) tablet display. However, if I were buying a new x200 Tablet today I would probably get the Enhanced multi-touch (impact on quality seems to be low, and it's more useful now that it's capacitive).
