I really don't know how you deal with the awful screens. Even the nicer IPS screen is low resolution and has bad viewing angles.

That alone would be enough to make me upgrade, even if it meant sacrificing everything else on your list.

With a bit of modding, you can replace the panel with something much better.

I have an x230, and I'm planning to upgrade to a 13.3 inch 1080p IPS panel.

I have pretty terrible eyesight, so the IPS screen is okay by my standards. Probably not the case for most people, admittedly.
