Lenovo ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook Arrives Later This Month

Lenovo may have scored a lot of attention with its $1,400 X1 Carbon Ultrabook, but it's the ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook, which featured at CES 2012 (January) that has consumers looking forward to, due to its US $779 price-point. The T430u borrows several design elements from its more expensive sibling. The Ultrabook is said to be available later this month. The 14-inch Ultrabook comes equipped with a 1366 x 768 pixels screen, Intel Core "Ivy Bridge" processor, 8 GB of dual-channel DDR3 memory, HDD or optional 128 GB SSD, and optional GeForce GT 620M graphics.

jihadjoeAdoption has to start somewhere, and considering Lenovo's lineup is supposedly 'celebrating innovation', this (and the X1) would have been a good place to start.

If system builders put out high resolution screens, then Microsoft will have a good reason to add in DPI scaling support. Maybe most of us here expect it to be the other way around, but this is just a call on Lenovo to be true to their slogan.

I dont suppose anyone here actually prefers still having 1366x768 5 years on.
Higher DPI is always nice and I'm all for that, but previous commenters wanted more work space, and for that a higher DPI is useless. Windows 8 is supposed to work better there. To be fair Windows 7 works fairly well, but 3rd part applications might not.

DPI doesn't have to be chosen arbitrarily though. High resolution combined with DPI scaling enables the end-user to choose how they want to trade DPI for workspace (and vice versa).

Low resolution enables nothing, but as I mentioned the ball has to start rolling from somewhere.

I guess this is where the homogenity of the Apple ecosystem shows its advantage.
