well if it doesn't increase my horsepower, then why did I spend all that $$$$ on those go faster stripes? ....but you're right. I should have asked how many seconds it will knock off of my 0-60, just as I clicked submit. This is what happens when we can't edit comments
Could they stop putting reflective touchscreens on 4K? This is supposed to be a thin and light workstation, why isn't there a non-glare 4K option? Why do they assume that a non-360 device needs to be used as touch screen just because it has higher pixel density?
The 4K display is OLED and I do not know of any matte OLED screen. So, since it seems like it has to be glossy anyway, better have the touch layer than not having it.
No screen "has" to be glossy. It's simply a decision whether to add a matte surface or not. Matte is very unpopular, especially on high-definition displays, because worsens image quality. Best you can do is buy & install some kind of semi-gloss screen cover.
I think a matte at display would probably reduce the sharpness of a 15.6 in ultra HD screen quite significantly due to the texture having a dithering effect.
What's with the huge chin on the screen (the forehead could have been scaled down too)? Is it because it's cheaper to source 16x9 panels?
This a workstation-class laptop; they could have used 16x10 panels to give as much screen real estate as possible. The aforementioned lack of a matte option in 4K is equally baffling.

how much horsepowers does the carbon fiber chasis add?Sttm - Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - link
Carbon fiber doesn't improve horsepower, it increases your power to weight ratio though.R0H1T - Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - link

Matte doesn't work well with touch either. It looks like a greasy mess extraordinarily fast.oRAirwolf - Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - link

Glad it has BT 5. A lot of notebooks are plagued with BT 4.1.zepi - Thursday, June 13, 2019 - link
Please mention in the spec-table that it is a wifi 6 solution, or even better (at least for me) 802.11ax.I know, it can be found within the text, but that is very cumbersome way of trying to figure it out.

This article is incorrect. There is definitely an option for a non-touch IPS 4K matte 500nits display.Cullinaire - Thursday, June 13, 2019 - link

we have several Carbon X that are f@%g slow. basically, all Lenovo laptops we've encountered are slow.
