    So I'm looking at tablets and was curious on the comparisons on the two. for the x61t was thinking of this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X61-Tablet-L7500-12-1-SXGA-SuperView_W0QQitemZ370187352013QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLaptops_Nov05?hash=item370187352013&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A3|39%3A1|240%3A1318 or this x200t, http://cgi.ebay.com/Lenovo-X200-Tablet-1-86GHz-LED-WebCam-UltraBase-DVDRW_W0QQitemZ160326583240QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLaptops_Nov05?hash=item160326583240&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4|65%3A3|39%3A1|240%3A1307

    How are the screens compared between the two? I have no use of the ultrabase so i'll sell either one off. so essentially after all the ebay rebates i can get and selling the ultrabases, i believe the price difference is around $300. What do you guys think? thanks.

    1400x1050 would be too high for me, though some do like it. The PPI is close to 15.4" WUXGA.

    yea i guess it depends on the person, i personally had no problem with the x200s on 1400x900. I just don't think I can look at 1050x768, haha. I was looking at my old t42 and I couldn't stand the big icons haha.

    The screens on both the x61T and the x200T are of very high quality. They both offer wide viewing angles and good contrast. The x61T will offer a much higher resolution and DPI (144), while the x200T will be far brighter, has a moderate DPI (125), and is aesthetically superior due to the frameless border.

    Other differentiating features:

    x61T offers Firewire, a NavDial, and PCMCIA.

    x200T offers the following:

    • Marginally faster CPU and GPU
    • Marginaly lighter
    • GPU accelerates decoding of h264 and VC-1 video (far superior battery life for supported content)
    • True full size keyboard (advantage of widescreen display)
    • Bi-Directional hinge
    • Superior heat management and battery life due to 45nm processor and LED display
    • SATA-2 support for 2.5" bay (better performance for high end SSDs)
    • Expresscard 54mm
    • Webcam
    • Stereo Speakers
    • Noise canceling microphone

    As a result of all these improvements, I would recommend the x200T unless you really want 1400x1050, or cannot afford the price difference.
