    WXGA 200nit, Black

    Does "Bright" suggest it's a glossy screen or that it's just brighter than 200nits?

    Thinkpads are not available with a glossy screen.

    they are just brighter... thinkpads don't come in glossy screen. they'll be consumer notebooks if that happens. these things want 'business' to pop out even by looking at the screen.

    So these are brighter than 200 nits? Cause 200 is decent (if it's really 200) so anything above that would be really really nice.
