85.8% Lenovo ThinkPad X260 (Core i5, WXGA) Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
Small typewriter. Lenovo's new 12.5-inch ThinkPad X260 mobilizes the office and convinces in many regards. Still, it cannot manage to secure the top spot for business subnotebooks, despite the good concept.
Lenovo ThinkPad X260: Freedom for Bussiness
Source: Notebooks.com English Archive.org version
Freedom from dongles is a real leg up. There’s something to be said for all of your essential ports being there without add-ons that you have to carry in a bag. The freedom to issue PCs to people that aren’t always careful with their things is important, too. The ThinkPad X260 has passed Military-grade durability tests. You can’t easily break it. Equally as important is freedom from high prices. Lenovo has the ThinkPad X260 available for $635.75, and that’s a model with an Intel Core i3 processor. Lenovo does cut some corners to get to that price, but that’s to be expected.

The ThinkPad X260 is a fantastic choice for people who need to be productive on the go, because it's an ideal size for small tables (or your lap), but provides epic battery life, a comfortable keyboard and strong mainstream performance. If you want a slightly better typing experience or larger display, consider the ThinkPad T460, which is a bit bulkier but offers similar features and more than 13 hours of endurance.

Comment

Model: Lenovo claims that the X260 passes Military-specification testing for durability and reliability. With a sleek appearance and weight of less than 1.36 kg, it runs counter to chunkiness often associated with sturdiness. Its IPS LCD delivers brilliant brightness and viewing angles of almost 180 degrees. One interesting feature of the X260 is the Power Bridge technology, which allows users to swap batteries without turning off the device.

Performance-wise, it is powered by the Intel Core i5-6200U, 4 GB DDR4 RAM and a 500 GB SSHD. Connectivity is good and includes 3 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Mini-DisplayPort as well as a SD-card slot. The integrated Intel vPro Technology allows remote management and location. Much effort has been made in providing a first-rate keyboard. The spill-resistant keyboard’s quality is indisputable. Yet comfort is not compromised in favor of ruggedness with its ergonomically-built keys. With its battery life of 12 hours, the X260 indeed stands out prime notebook.

Intel HD Graphics 520: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on some Skylake CPU models (15 W ULV series).

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
