[ltp] Thinkpad x201t Tablet screen: Multitouch vs Superbright

[Danny Piccirillo]

Hello,

I'm having a lot of trouble deciding between the multitouch and
superbright display options. One thread which seemed useful, in the
end made me more unsure (i was leaning towards superbright, and now
i'm completely torn):

It's tough to know how good/bad the brightness is on the multitouch
screen, so i wish i could try before i buy, but i have to choose this
weekend (tax free holiday). Here's a list of pros/cons i've gathered.

Both work with the pen/stylus

Multitouch

Pros:
* Can use fingers
* Multitouch (by Apple's new definition)
Cons:
* Not very bright
* Gets very dim at any off-angles

Superbright

Pros:
* Very bright
* Longer battery life
Cons:
* Semi-glossy
* Fingerprint smudges may be very apparent at times

Does anybody have experience with the multitouch screen? If it is
fairly usable in bright areas, i may opt for it. When watching movies,
plugging into an external monitor or TV is always a good option. At
the same time, multitouch seems more like a fun feature, and while i'm
sure it would be used, it can certainly be lived without. Battery life
and brightness are very useful. What would you choose?

Thanks,
