10-bit panel with 99% sRGB coverage doesn't sound right. Most panels I know that have 10 bit are usually supporting gamuts in adobe RGB range. Is this using a look up table of sorts to give a 10bit like output?
Ye, it sounds weird to me as well. 99% sRGB wouldn't be anything I'd be boasting about these days. Guess it should be AdobeRGB, but (very) brief check on Lenovo site didn't find this model...
There's plenty of 10-bit sRGB panels out there. AdobeRGB isn't useful for 99.99% of users. I think panel manufacturers are prepping up for HDR which requires at least 10-bit colors.
Bit depth and colourspace are two completely different things. While increasing colourspace without increasing bit depth can lead to banding, there is otherwise no link between the two.
It depends on the DisplayPort technology being used for the USB-C alternate mode. If it's DP1.3 / HBR3, it supports 4k with just the two lanes. But I assume this is DP1.2 / HBR2, which would mean that it would need more lanes for 4k.
Certain features don't seem to have made the jump to "as standard" on big monitors. Touch and passive (polarised) 3D are two that I'd enjoy having, but they're rare on bigger screens. I think with touch it's partly because large monitors can be quite far away, possibly more than arm's length, and people don't like getting them smudged either.
You've got it backwards. The display can power and charge the laptop, not the other way around. The display plugs into the wall, hence the AC input figure you quoted.
I hope the author of this article can ask Lenovo whether those ugly speakers at the bottom andere the odd webcam at the top van be removed. Such a same to mess up am otherwise beautiful design! Looking forward to funding out about this.

Any word on which of the other add-ons the X1 supports? Is it all of them?gte619n - Monday, January 4, 2016 - link
Can anyone confirm that a single, USB-C cable can serve all three power, USB and display functions? Please let it be true...SirKnobsworth - Monday, January 4, 2016 - link
It can, but AFAIK if you need 4k@60Hz, you are stuck with USB 2.0 speeds.jhoff80 - Monday, January 4, 2016 - link

Can all folks in the tech media please start indicating in all discussions of monitors whether or not they are touchscreen?stephenbrooks - Monday, January 4, 2016 - link

>Power Delivery v2.0 can offer up to 100 Watts of powerBut the X1 uses 135W of power, according to the TUV certification:
Electrical Requirements
Power: External
Power Adaptor Output (DC output): 135W (20V)
Power Adaptor Input (AC-input): 90 V ~ 260 V / 47 Hz ~ 63 Hz
