This is a common complaint and no surprise to longtime ThinkPad lovers. Now, vertical space is good with the FHD panel, but it could be even better if it was 16:10, or ideally 4:3.

I understand there are supply issues that have caused Lenovo to go with a 16:9, but it's really frustrating.

It offers retina-searing brightness levels, which works well for outdoor use. There is some backlight bleed, but not enough for me to care. No more tilting the panel to read text on the top of the screen, then tilting it again to read the bottom. My most modernish laptop was a T420 with the 1600x900 display and the X250 beats it in every conceivable way. The display is excellent, certainly better than most ThinkPads of old. Operating system: OpenBSD -current (snapshot dated as of this moment) So, for the sake of Googlers, I will share my thoughts on my new (to me) X250. There are a lot of reviews of newer ThinkPads out there, but none focused on the kinds of things I am interested in.
