Wish lists for the x240t?

[XThinkpadUser]

My wishlist

Essential:

Improve the build quality. No more wobble when the lid is open

Make the 6 cell battery not sound and look cheap

More status LEDs

Caps Lock LED

Bring back Num Lock

Move the Print Scr key to a non-stupid location

1080p screen -- i.e., no more resolutions from 2003!

Nice:
"Retina Display" competitor

Fantasy land:

4:3 screen!

Wacom tilt detection

2048 levels of pressure sensitivity

You forgot to mention to improve the accuracy of the digitizer.

Sorry to bring this up again but take a look here to get a better impression on the Fujitsu T902:

For a machine costing 1900$ and more it looks cheap (just my opinion)...

1. I hate the extra bulge of the 6-cell battery. Hope the next version of X240T will have better battery improvement so that the 3-cell option can last longer.

2. Remove the dummy WAN antenna. It is ugly.

3. Remove VGA port. Put in place HDMI port instead.

4. Be thinner and lighter.

Obviously the next gen of Intel CPU and graphics chipset will be faster, smaller and more power efficient. I don't care much about screen resolution. It is becoming a gimmick like the megapixel race in digital camera. At current resolution, many software UI are already very small that I have to zoom in (using Zoomit) from time to time to read the small text in menu, etc. Increasing the resolution will only make it worse.

It costs $1699.00 at Newegg with a 3 year warranty and the digitizer performance blows the X220t and X230t away.

The screen resolution is also far superior and the screen size is amazing in person.

The price gap is still big enough (you get nearly the same for $400 less from Lenovo). And as I already said it is bigger and heavier and has mostly the same specs. The case looks cheap and doesn't even have an all around magnesium hull.

As for the digitizer performance: If you're doing professional drawing or image editing you will buy and use other more suitable equipment. And for field use (like an engineer would do): Its cheap looking case wouldn't give me the confidence to work with the T902 somewhere outside. And it also lacks a proper handle like the very ugly but very usefull 6 cell battery of the X230T with which I can rest the laptop in tablet mode on my forearm and hold it by the battery handle while I'm working with it.

@del_psi: Btw. before you boast about the digitizer performance of the T902 try to calibrate the digitizer of the X230T. In another thread user Chimuel provided a more advanced calibration command which does a pretty good job:

tabcal lincal novalidate XGridPts=5,16,60,165,258,640,922,1115,1220,1264,1350 YGridPts=5,12,39,105,225,400,575,695,761

(While calibrating one should hold the pen as he's using it while he's working with it to get an accurate and useful calibration)

After calibrating the X230t , the digitizer performance IS WORSE than an uncalibrated T901 and T5010.

I've owned 3 tablet PCs before the X230t. The HP TX2z , the Fujitsu T5010 , the Fujitsu T901.

The only one that has worse digitizer performance than the X230t is the HP TX2z( since it's a consumer model that uses N-trig).

I got your point. And if it's worth $400 for you then feel free to do as you're pleased.

• Lighter, thinner.
  
  In the X230 line, the tablet version is 0.7lb/25% heavier, and 0.18"/17% thicker than the non-tablet version. While not entirely a fair comparison, the Galaxy Note 10.1 is 0.02lb/3% heavier and 0.03"/-8% thinner than Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.
  
  
• HiDPI/"Retina"/>200ppi display.
  
  But only if better DPI scaling mechanism is available on Windows by then.
  
  
• Less parallax and more accruate digitizer.
  
  
• Co-existence of 3x3 antennas and webcam.

• Thunderbolt, eSATA(p), HDMI, 802.11ac

Cheers.
