If only Lenovo would take notice and see what is happening in the market. I really want a better screen on my Thinkpad with a higher resolution.

The upcoming generation of ThinkPads generally has better screens (either higher resolutions or IPS instead of TN) than before. In particular, the W540 is supposed to have an IPS screen with a similar (2880x1620) resolution:

Awesome. Thanks!
If you can live with a buttonless clickpad, the ThinkPad 9 Slim is what you want: 13", 3200x1800.
See martey's comment above.
The T440p, T540p, and W540 all have buttonless clickpads too, and the latter two are so huge they have numpads; anything from the W series is Way too heavy anyway. The L and E series are out because I'm looking for a high-end system, and in any case they have buttonless clickpads too.
It would better if Lenovo could provide better screens for the whole laptop product line, including Ideapad and stuff.
