Hello, I got the Full HD (1920x1080) T530, which maybe too big compared to a X301. I got the wide gamut display. The display is not IPS, but not too bad. I have not done much photo work with it yet.

I'm not fond of the apparent measurements of widescreen displays. My 22" monitor at work feels smaller than my 19" at home. Anyway, how bad would a 14" be? The T430 is available with 1600x900 resolution in a 14.1" display, which feels like a good size to me. It's 32mm wider than your X301, same depth, and 7mm thicker. I've always liked the extended 9-cell batteries because they make a nice carrying handle and actually seem to make the laptop feel smaller and more portable. And, it's available with a 2.9-3.5GHz i7-3520M and can hold up to 16GB RAM. Will that do what you need? - Alex -- Smart is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
