If you want to talk about keyboards, all laptop keyboards suck.

Then again, I'm mad when using anything except my Filco.wink.gif

seriously. the harder to see the worse. changing dpi settings does not magically make content scale 1:1 while maintaining sharpness of the image. Retina displays degrade image quality more then half the time. Sure, text and the GUI is fine, but everything else no.

I wish they would make a cheap version of this with an AMD A10 APU.

I can barely stand 1080p on a 15" laptop, let alone on a smaller screen. Windows' DPI scaling is mediocre. Not everyone has superb vision.

I have an X120e. Absolutely love it. Compliments my desktop perfectly as others above me have said. This looks to be about the sexiest business class laptop I have ever seen.

What would be lovely. It would fit all my needs for an ultrabook.

I believe they still use the same switches as older keyboards?

Everything about it perfect and its pretty! Will be my laptop for next semester! One thinks it will be a decent upgrade from my T61.

People who want higher resolution screen - this laptop is made to be portable, light and with great battery life. Better resolution would mean more expensive screen, worse batter life and probably some other cons as well.
