Lenovo ThinkPad T430u Ultrabook Arrives Later This Month

Adoption 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.
