80% Lenovo Thinkpad X41 laptop Review
Source: Pocket Lint 
Lenovo is a Chinese company that bought the IBM hardware brand last year as well as the trademark for ThinkPad notebooks. The Lenovo ThinkPad X41 is the company’s leading ultraportable design so it comes as no surprise that it has been used as the basis for this take on the Tablet PC. Tablet PCs have had a bad time in the press, mainly as they haven’t lived up to the early hype surrounding them. However, if you approach this machine as a standard notebook but with even extra functionality, then you’ll be closer to appreciating how useful the format is.

Only a couple of shortcomings jumped out at us. One is that the screen latch has to be manually pushed into the case to secure the lid; otherwise it sticks up in the way. Another is the absence of a next-generation ExpressCard slot - a strange omission from such an otherwise top-flight notebook. The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet's versatility as a tablet and its long list of excellent features make it a great choice for mobile professionals.

Lenovo's previous tablet effort, the X41 Tablet PC, received a barrage of criticism for being £600 more expensive than its non-tablet sibling. Sadly, it's the same here - the touchscreen, 512MB more RAM and 20GB more hard disk space add £400 to the price. There's a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel: one SKU of the X60 Tablet (part code: UU2K7UK) has a significantly smaller battery, but otherwise an identical specification, and costs a far more reasonable £1,149 (£1,350 inc VAT) from www.pcwb.com. Well built and with astonishing battery life to boot. But this particular SKU isn't great value for money.

When we first looked at the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet in November 2006, we were impressed by its usability features, including an indoor/outdoor touch-screen display, an improved stylus, and the Active Rotate feature. Since the release of Windows Vista Business Edition, though, we were curious to see how our favorite tablet performed with the new operating system. To that end, we got our hands on an X60 Tablet that had been refreshed with a faster processor, more RAM, and a larger, faster hard drive. These enhancements were enough to sustain the X60 Tablet's reputation as an excellent tablet with enough power for demanding business use. It's still expensive--our review unit cost $2,467, and that still doesn't include even an external optical drive--but the ThinkPad X60 Tablet remains one of our favorite convertibles for highly mobile business users.

The original IBM/Lenovo X41 convertible has been our favorite ultralight Tablet-notebook combo since it premiered nearly two years ago, but its poky CPU has long since been outpaced by the competition. We are happy to see that everything we loved about the X41 is still here in the new X60 Tablet. Lenovo introduces some impressive and unique Tablet features here that put even more distance between it and the competition. And while it's not perfect, the X60 Tablet overcomes some shortfalls to make sure Lenovo remains king of the convertible hill.

It seemed inevitable that the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 line would include the elusive tablet capabilities, but for many tablet buffs it's been a long wait. I've seen the entire ThinkPad line move through two generations of Intel processors—except for the ThinkPad tablet. Whether you're in a business or a classroom environment, the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet now has the goods to be your tablet of choice. It gets a healthy dose of upgrades, including a dual-core processor and integrated EV-DO, and you get a host of new features (from the digitizer pen to the new screen options) to complement performance. See how the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet measures up to similar systems in our side-by-side tablet PC comparison chart.

90% Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC Review
Source: Tablet PC Review
The engineers at Lenovo really put their thinking caps on for the past year in developing the new X60 Tablet PC, the focus was certainly on usability and how to improve the tablet experience. I think they hit a homerun. The XGA MultiTouch display and SXGA+ offering are outstanding options, the MultiView is also really nice for a tablet pc where you'll be using it in all types of lighting environments and holding it at various angles. The port selection for an ultraportable is superb. The keyboard is as good as ever. The build is ThinkPad solid, there's no flex anywhere on the body. The battery life is as good as it can be. And best of all the performance with the Core Duo and 2.5" 7200RPM hard drive is vastly improved over the X41t. Pricing starts at around $1,700 initially on the X60t, this will be pricey for some, but for business users this could be a formidable tool and if you're off to college for 4 years maybe you could justify the cost if you think of it as an investment in your ability to perform better in school and be more efficient.

Spend a bit of time with the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet, and you're likely to become a fan of pen-based computing. This update to the company's ultraportable X41 Tablet includes a few key upgrades on the usability front, including a touch-screen display, an improved stylus, and the new Active Rotate feature (more on that below). When it's not folded into a tablet, the ThinkPad X60 Tablet also makes a good ultraportable laptop, with a Core Duo processor and decent-size 80GB hard drive. You'll have to pay to have the best tablet on the block, though: the X60 Tablet's price starts at $1,699, but our review unit included a number of upgrades that brought its price to $2,299--and that still didn't include even an external optical drive.

If buying a notebook were all about style, the Lenovo Thinkpad X60 wouldn't even reach the qualifying stages of the beauty contest, but for those who want power and performance over looks, it is top of its class. The black and somewhat bland chassis may have Plain Jane looks but it hides a reliable, solid workhorse PC. The Thinkpad X60 is a Core Duo Centrino notebook, and our review unit came with an eight-cell long-life battery to complement the standard four-cell version. When this bigger battery is used, it juts out from the back of the notebook but the total weight is just 1.6kg, making it extremely easy to carry around.

The Thinkpad thinkpad X61s came in late, but its performance was convincing. It closes the gap between notebooks with ULV CPUs and the performance flyer Samsung P200-Pro. It succeeds in walking the tightrope between weight and performance, offering more performance than the ULV group, but it is lighter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighter than Samsung and HP while offering similar battery life.

Lenovo ThinkPad X61s Review
Source: Notebookreview.com
The X61 is Lenovo's Santa Rosa update to their renowned ThinkPad X series of ultraportable laptops. The X series is synonymous with usability and toughness while on the go. There are two versions of the ThinkPad X61: the X61 and the X61s. The notebooks are almost the same, save for the CPUs. The X61 uses the full power Core 2 Duos while the X61s variant uses the low power versions of the Core 2 Duo. In general, the X61 will offer a bit better performance while the X61s will have better battery life. This review will focus on the low power X61s. The X61s has been a nice contrast to my R60. I like my R60 a lot, but at times it seems heavy to me. When I get my next notebook, I might go with something smaller like this X61. After having spent some time with the X61s, I can see why people have such enthusiasm for the X series and why it is often so well reviewed. If you are a person who needs a lot of mobility or just want a small notebook, the X61s makes a compelling argument.

Like its predecessors, the ThinkPad X61s ($2,228 as configured) boasts a rock-solid design (view our photo gallery), a best-in-class keyboard, and enough security features to make the most seasoned hacker ponder retirement. Striking a very good balance between performance and battery life, the X61s is a highly recommended ultralight business notebook.

A tidy little 1.9kg unit, the tablet version of Lenovo's ThinkPad X61, the Lenovo ThinkPad X61t ultraportable lacks an integrated optical drive, but it has a great design, long battery life, and an easy-on, easy-off docking station.

The only major change to this upgraded Lenovo ThinkPad X series modelhttp://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/reviews/index.cfm?ReviewID=793 is a processor update.

Battery life with the eight-cell battery that our test unit came with was fantastic at 5 hours and 2 minutes. (Other X-series models come with four-cell batteries.)

Lenovo - ThinkPad X61 Tablet review
Source: IT Reviews
It seems entirely appropriate that there's a comprehensive guide to the Lenovo range of ThinkPad laptops on Wikipedia, because the list is simply enormous and we mere mortals need all the help we can get to navigate ourselves to laptop bliss. IBM built up the ThinkPad brand by offering businesses a huge range of choice so they could have the exact list of features that they wanted and Lenovo, the new owner of ThinkPad, has very sensibly followed this business model.
As a laptop the X61 has relatively low performance and costs a small fortune, especially considering the lack of optical drive. But the build quality and engineering are second to none and this shines through with the Tablet features which have been executed with something close to genius. And did we mention that it's very expensive?

The Lenovo ThinkPad X61 12.1” ultraportable notebook was released by Lenovo this year as a replacement for the X60. The X61 provides a nice chipset, processor, and graphics refresh to the X60 with the adoption of Intel’s GM965 Express chipset which features the X3100 integrated graphics adapter. In addition, optional features such as integrated Wireless WAN connectivity, turbo memory, and fingerprint security enhance the X61’s functionality. There are a few models in the X61 family, and this review covers the plain vanilla X61 12.1” notebook model. The X61 family also features a tablet pc convertible notebook and an “ultimate battery life” X61s ThinkPad. Battery life with the 4 cell battery has not been great with real world tests being between 1 hour 40 minutes and 2 hours 22 minutes depending on the power setting; the X61’s power manager is great at selecting which profile to use to lengthen battery life.

These days, convertible tablet PCs are showing up as more than just a blip on the radar. They've been widely adopted in the vertical markets, and students are embracing them. Lenovo (formerly IBM) has long been a leader in the convertible tablet PC space. In the ThinkPad X61 Tablet ($1,934 direct) Lenovo continues to fuse the design of its darling X-Series ultraportable (see ThinkPad X60s) with the tablet's functionality. With the best keyboard in the industry, very good performance scores, and a sturdy design, the X61 Tablet earns an Editors' Choice award to set beside Lenovo's previous one in this space, the ThinkPad X41 Tablet. While it's clear that convertible tablets are picking up traction, the penetration hasn't been at the level of some of the more popular laptops. It could be that consumers haven't yet grasped the idea of using a digitizer pen on a laptop. Maybe the price premium is putting off potential customers.

Today's notebook PCs tend to fall into two categories; those you can carry around with you, and those likely to give you a hernia. Lenovo's Thinkpad X61 sits firmly in the former camp. Weighing just 1.63kg, this ultraportable is the perfect travelling companion. Interestingly, this model is the first we've seen without the old IBM badge. While it isn't built like a tank, the X61 is undeniably well made. The back of the 12.1in screen seems a little flimsy but, on the whole, the magnesium alloy chassis is certainly up to the rigours of day-to-day travel. The keyboard also has a good, solid feel to it, but when typing at speed we kept catching our fingers on Lenovo's pointer control. This is an acquired taste and anyone used to a touchpad will surely end up plugging a mouse into one of the system's three USB ports after more than 10 minutes.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X61 uses Intel's Santa Rosa mobile processor. Otherwise, it's the same light, sophisticated ultraportable laptop PC as the earlier model; like the Lenovo X60, it lacks an integrated optical drive but offers dazzling battery life. This 1.6kg X-series member goes to the top of our list of ultraportables for mobile professionals. Our Lenovo ThinkPad X61 test unit, with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7300 processor and 2GB of DDR2-667 SDRAM, earned a WorldBench 6 Beta 2 speed score of 75, which is tops among currently tested ultraportable PCs. The extended-life four-cell battery is excellent. The UltraBase docking station adds four more USB ports (for a total of seven) as well as legacy parallel and serial ports. In addition, the modular optical drive has a side release, so you can swap with one hand between an optical drive, a second battery, or a second hard drive (those are optional accessories).

75% Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet
Source: Reg Hardware
Lenovo supplies its X series ThinkPad as a regular laptop and also as a reversible Tablet in both X60 and X61 variants, so that's four basic models, but there are so many options and variants that it's almost impossible to list them in a tidy way - but we'll give it our best shot. Every X61 uses the Intel 965G Express chipset with ICH8-M and you then choose your processor speed. Our review sample uses the 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo L7500 processor, or you can go for the 1.4GHz L7300. It runs Windows Vista Business without the Aero interface, but you can also choose from Vista Ultimate, Vista Home Premium, and XP Tablet Edition. You'll recall that Vista includes Tablet and Media Centre features. We got a 12.1in MultiView screen with 1,024 x 768 resolution, rather than the brighter 12.1in Super-Wide Angle screen with the same resolution, or a widescreen 12.1in screen that displays 1,400 x 1,050 pixels.

Though the optical drive is not integrated, everything else about this business portable is top-notch, especially battery life. Our review unit, which included an UltraBase docking station with a dual-layer DVD burner, costs $1724 (as of July 27, 2007). The great performance and features, and its reasonable price, make the X61 our current top choice of ultraportable.

Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com
The Lenovo ThinkPad X61 is an ultraportable business laptop geared to individuals who demand the best. Like its larger brothers of the ThinkPad line, it shares all of the same rugged features, as well as the creature comforts of a full-size keyboard. The X61 looks as if Lenovo took a ThinkPad T60 and shrunk it down by 30 percent. Although it is much smaller than its counterparts, it is every bit as fast. This model came loaded with a 7200rpm hard drive, 2GHz Core 2 Duo processor, and 2GB of RAM. Light business travelers can rest easy knowing they didn’t sacrifice anything but weight when they bring the X61 on the road.
I found the ThinkPad X61 to be a fantastic alternative to my larger 15” T60 in situations that I didn’t want to lug around the heavier machine. It had all the grunt of the much larger machine, but inside a much smaller package. I was also surprised by how easy it was to upgrade the ram in the X61, by removing a access panel on the bottom of the laptop.

Lenovo’s lightweight gem
Source: Star Techcentral
Ultraportable notebooks usually sacrifice a lot to keep their slimness and stay lightweight, but the X300 is really in a class of its own. In fact, we would really like to give the X300 full marks but the lack of some features are just too glaring, especially the must-have card reader. Still, if you are willing to look past some of the drawbacks, the X300 is an ideal choice for road warriors who are looking for the ultimate thin and light notebook without sacrificing much of the features they need to be productive.

Lenovo is marketing the X300 as the PC answer to the Macbook Air. At 1.55kg, it weighs nearly 200g more than the Air, but what is lost in flair is gained in functionality, as the X300 has a DVD writer fitted, three USB ports and an Ethernet port – the Air has no drive or Ethernet and just one USB.

Finally, the X300's light weight doesn't indicate a wimpy battery pack as with some slimlines. The supplied six-cell battery lasted a good four hours during a multimedia-heavy DVD-viewing and music-playing session, while a less demanding word processing marathon stretched to five hours.
So what do we mean by best notebook ever? Simply the best-engineered, most desirable, thin-and-light-without-compromises laptop we've seen in many long years of testing, reviewing, and not infrequently buying. Out of all the PCs that have occupied the Labs, Weather, & Sports Desk, the ThinkPad X300 is the one we most hate to send away.

It may not be a total reinvention, but this is a stunning and versatile laptop. Lenovo's ThinkPad range is aimed at business users and the X300 (£2139 inc. VAT) is the latest flagship model for the mobile professional. This ultraportable laptop comes with a built-in optical drive, good-sized keyboard and, more importantly, a battery life that actually meets the needs of the mobile worker. Weighing 1.6kg, this is as portable a machine as you can expect from a two-spindle chassis. It has an overall depth of 28mm, which considering you'll find a DVD rewriter built into the case as standard is something of an impressive feat.

Lenovo has given Apple an object lesson in how a thin and light notebook should be designed and constructed. The ThinkPad X300 is stuffed full of cutting edge features, is svelte and light enough to be carried around every day and boasts the sleek, minimalist looks that ThinkPad users love.
It may be expensive, but this is a truly great notebook to use - the keyboard is first rate, the solid state drive makes for very swift operation, while you also get all the connectivity you could ever want. If there's one thing that lets the package down, it's the uneven lighting on the LED backlight screen - it's not awful, but it's not up to the standard of the rest of the machine. If it wasn't for the screen issue, the ThinkPad X300 would have grabbed Editor's Choice, but as it stands it gets a resounding Recommended award.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Ultraportable Notebook
Source: Hot Hardware
The system we evaluated retails for $3258 as equipped and that price can be much higher with some optional features and service plans. What you get for that price, however, is a well equipped, ultra portable system with cutting edge technologies. In the end, we found the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 system to be an excellent product, that requires a significant investment. But when you consider what you get for that price, a strong argument can be made that you do get what you pay for.

With great mobility, comes great costs it seems and we're not just talking about costs in the monetary aspect only of course. Performance compromises like a slightly slower processor and the integrated graphics all add up along with the actual monetary cost of the notebook. The 13.3-inch LED screen didn't live up to our expectations either, being somewhat splotchy and dim when we tested it though the 1440 x 900 resolution does count in its favor. If you stop and think about it, the MacBook Air actually gives slightly more value per dollar spent (plus you get lots of attention) compared to the X300 once you factor in the peformance. The Air comes with a proper Core 2 Duo processor, not the low voltage power saving processor that the X300 is using and still runs longer than the X300 on its 3-cell battery. What the X300 lacks in processing power however, it makes up with the slimmest DVD drive we have seen so far and more connectivity options compared to the Air, which does make X300 much easier to use.

Apple is doing its best to dominate the super-thin laptop market with the gorgeous-but-limited MacBook Air, but it doesn’t have the experience of producing an all-rounder compared to the likes of Lenovo, Sony, or Toshiba. While the MacBook Air will win over those who simply want a good looking and incredibly thin-and-light system, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X300 is much more of a complete portable system - it even comes with built-in 3G/HDSPA. Lenovo has the MacBook Air in its sights and is hoping to take advantage of the Air’s shortcomings. Designed for today’s most demanding road warriors, the ThinkPad X300 (from £1790) measures less than 18.6mm at its thinnest point, and has a starting weight as low as 1.41kg. It has some neat cutting-edge technology under the hood too, including solid-state storage, LED backlit display, ultra-long battery life (using two batteries) and enhanced wireless connectivity.

The Averatec 12.1" ultraportable AV2575 notebook offers a great value at a price of $1,099. While it is heavier than other notebooks of this size, the build quality, keyboard, touchpad, and thermal performance is excellent. The one area that I could see some improvement on is battery life, which hopefully an extended battery would help with.

Lenovo's X300 is an incredible machine for the high-powered businessman. It's a powerful yet understated, efficient yet effective laptop with an unbeatable set of connectivity options. The battery life, while not quite the 10 hours claimed, is tough to replicate in the real world. The ability to swap out the ultrathin 7 mm optical drive for a 3-cell battery is a welcome option that can be a lifesaver in the right situation. Although the sticker price of nearly $3000 can dissuade potential consumers, we can honestly say that if you need what the X300 has, you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal. Lenovo is even touting the X300 as their "greenest" laptop ever, pointing out the energy-saving solid state drive and LED backlit display, as well as the lack of mercury in the screen. For those keeping score it received an EPEAT gold rating, meets the European Union's Reduction of Hazardous Substances standards, and is Energy Star 4.0 qualified. I'm sure some crafty accountants can make use of that information come tax season.

Potential owners of Lenovo's X300 would receive a fully-functional notebook in a small and compact device. The quality is top-notch, and the only significant drawback is the notebook's final price, which is not as unusual with exclusive laptops such as this one. All we can say at the end is that we are rather disappointed that we cannot afford ourselves a PC like this one, which is slightly less than 3000$.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com
The ThinkPad X300 is a premium product that's worth the price if you need the features it offers. The X300's excellent portability, abundance of wireless options, built-in optical drive, SSD advantage, great screen, fantastic keyboard, and second-to-none build quality all add up to a notebook that's easy to recommend to business users who consider a notebook to be an important part of their success with work. It's certainly not the right notebook for everyone, the 64GB storage limit, under powered processor and high price immediately eliminates most consumers from even considering the X300. We would have like to have seen such things as an SD card reader, docking capability and an ExpressCard or PC slot. You can't have it all though, and the ThinkPad X300 is much more practical than the pretty but port challenged MacBook Air, and so the X300 gets the Editor's Choice recommendation that we couldn't rationalize giving to the MacBook Air. Bravo to Lenovo, and we hope that they push this 13.3" slim form factor more and find ways to bring the pricing down.

Surprisingly, the choice between the MacBook Air or the X300 should be an easy one for most buyers, and it’s a decision that comes down to the way you work. The Air is better suited for users that don’t often stray too far from their desks and want the thinnest, lightest, sleekest notebook they can find. However, if you often use an optical drive on the road, find yourself usually swapping in an extra battery, or tend to connect multiple peripherals and would prefer not to deal with an external hub, the X300 is for you. You’ll pay for the extras (the SSD, wireless USB, GPS, and so on) with the X300, but if effortlessly carrying all the features you need is important, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X300 is worth every penny.

With the ThinkPad X300 (about $3,000 street), Lenovo is out to prove that the Apple MacBook Air is not the only laptop that can fit snugly into a manila envelope. Granted, it's a tough act to follow and frustrating, too, especially since the ThinkPad X300 was being developed at the same time as the MacBook Air.
It will make a huge dent in your company's budget, but the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 has a lineup of features that eclipses those on the Apple MacBook Air.

As of this writing we've only had the ThinkPad X300 for a few hours now so once the honeymoon is over we're sure there will be more to complain about, but right now it's a big thumbs up on this piece of engineering from the ThinkPad labs.

Stay tuned for the full review next week. We'll also do a comparison of the X300 to another notebook you may have heard of called the MacBook Air from Apple.

We're huge fans of the X300. Sure, it has its foibles and it won't be the right choice for everyone. And, call us demanding if you like, but we'd have liked to see another hour of battery life from the three-cell battery. But, unlike the MacBook Air, it doesn't sacrifice usability to hit a certain weight. In fact, unlike the MacBook Air, it's clearly been designed with usability rather than marketing in mind. The keyboard is simply fantastic. The screen, while not perfect, offers an ideal resolution for the target user: the professional on the road.
Build quality is superb and, though it won't rival a desktop PC for speed, it's more than fast enough to be used as an everyday computer. There's even room for a little after-hours entertainment. This kind of laptop is never going to be cheap, and the X300 isn't either. But you're paying for some incredible design and a low, low weight. When Lenovo releases models with mechanical hard disks and lower prices, it will become an even more attractive choice. And, if you don't need the benefits of solid-state technology, wait for the new models. But if you're after the last word in reliability, usability, quality and portability, your money won't be wasted.

The ThinkPad X200 is a great tool for the business user on the move. What it lacks in style it more than makes up for in quality, with no need to shout about its abilities. It’s also a much cheaper alternative to the larger ThinkPad X300. If you don’t mind leaving the optical drive at home, it’s well worth a look. The outstanding keyboard, impressive battery life and great mobility particularly impressed.

Intel's Centrino 2 technology heralds a quiet revolution. It's brought desktop-level power to ultraportables without harming battery life, and both the X200 and the Sony VAIO Z-Series show that you can buy a 1.5kg laptop that can also be your main PC. What is surprising, however, is the price. Even though you can't yet buy X200 units, you can pre-order a well-specified one (P8400 processor, 2GB RAM and 160GB hard disk) for £950 exc VAT, while the best price for our top-end NR35TUK review unit is £1,145.

Lenovo's X300 is in response to those looking for a high quality Ultraportable without the extreme price of the ThinkPad X300. Even though the X200 doesn't feature an optical drive, the system's dimensions and weight are nearly the same as the X300. What the X200 does provide though is some of the fastest performance in the ultraportable market and at a relatively reasonable price.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Ultraportable Notebook
Source: Hot Hardware
The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a remarkably good performer for its class. In nearly all of our benchmarks the X200 was able to claim the top spot. The X200's Centrino 2 platform and Core 2 Duo P8600 2.40GHz processor lends it plenty of performance prowess and it excelled as a result in all of our benchmarks. Despite being a compact little ultraportable, the X200 packs a large performance punch and we found that it performed very well in all productivity and communications tasks. The X200 is also no slouch when it comes to multimedia. The new Intel GMA X4500 can off-load all of the major HD codecs off the CPU and decode them in hardware.

It lacks some basic features you may require--touch pad, optical drive--but the 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen. With a variety of connectivity options and a roomy keyboard, the X200 makes a great ultraportable for road warriors.

Today we’re putting the Lenovo x200 through it’s course. The x200 is the smaller brother to the now infamous x300, and an upgrade to the x61 series of earlier years (best in class for ultraportable as far as we’re concerned). Although being smaller, and lacking an optical drive, the x200 doesn’t seem too tiny nor as thin as the x300, and developing most of it’s hardships with the battery bay and standard tracking devices. Of course, this is a very near end pre-consumer level model we’re reviewing, so I’m sure things have gotten ironed out as soon as this review hits the shelf as far as fit and finish is concerned (more at the end of the review on that).

The X200 feels tough as nails, thanks to a magnesium alloy lid and bottom. A crash-proof solid-state hard drive up to 64GB is optional (we got a standard 160GB platter-based hard drive, however). For future upgrading the X200's two memory chip slots are located in an easy-to-access bottom compartment, and the hard drive can be removed from the right side of the unit after unscrewing one bottom screw. A full array of wireless communications options come built in: 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, WWAN, and even GPS. Before the end of the year Lenovo should offer WiMax, too--and a tablet version of the X200. But if all you need is the world's best travel laptop right now, you're looking at it.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Review
Source: Hardware Central
While the X200 has a lot going for it, it does necessitate a few tradeoffs typical of the ultraportable class. First and foremost, unlike the pricier X300, the notebook doesn't have a built-in optical drive. You'll have to invest in a USB-based external drive or opt for Lenovo's snap-on UltraBase accessory, which adds a modular bay for a CD-RW/DVD-ROM, DVD±RW, or Blu-ray drive or a second battery second hard disk.
The small size of the X200 also means there was only room for the familiar ThinkPad TrackPoint pointing stick, not the touchpad most portable users have grown accustomed to. And while the notebook's built-in speaker is fine for personal use, you'll want to rely on your projector's speakers if you're given a presentation in any but the smallest conference room.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com
The ThinkPad X200 is a very worthy successor to the ThinkPad X61. The amazing battery life capabilities and cool and quiet running performance are real highlights. Having so much power in a small package while still maintaining a cool and quiet computing experience further adds to the impressiveness there. The ThinkPad X200 is also durable enough to last a very long time even with the most abusive of owners, shoving the X200 in a tightly packed bag and then physically forcing it under seat 21A on the plane won't cause this laptop harm. The downsides are that there's no optical drive like you get with the ThinkPad X300 and no touchpad for those that prefer that style of input. The removal of FireWire and then no built-in DisplayPort, HDMI or DVI port could be a deterrent for some. The all black and professional look has stood the test of time and looks both clean and professional, we like it, but those business people demanding their IT department to support the Apple iPhone might just care about how cool their laptop looks too.

The ThinkPad X300, introduced last February, is easily Lenovo's greatest gem. But though it's as close to an impossible act to follow as an ultraportable can get, it has one major flaw—it costs $3,000! This was done, presumably, to give its other X-Series siblings such as the ThinkPad X200 ($1,199, direct) room to flourish. The X200 isn't likely to trump the X300 anytime soon, but it does have several things that make it a terrific business ultraportable.
The wide-aspect Lenovo ThinkPad X200 delivers outstanding performance numbers without sacrificing battery life.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s Review
Source: Notebookreview.com
The ThinkPad X200s offers a few premium features over the X200 that do make it more desirable as a travel laptop, but you'll have to carefully assess whether the $500 price premium of the X200s over the X200 is worth it to you. The higher resolution screen and lighter weight of the X200s are definitely nice to have, and the performance is so close between the X200 and X200s that it's not even worth considering the difference. The battery life achieved with the X200s isn't much different to the X200 in our testing, you'll get about 9 hours with either if you turn off wireless radios and dim the screen.

Is having an extra three hours of battery life worth $530? If you’re a fan of Lenovo’s ThinkPad line, that’s what you’ll have to ask yourself when deciding between the X200 and the X200s. True, the $2,078 X200s doesn’t have the same performance as the X200, but you’re likely not to notice in day-to-day use. Everything else that a frequent traveler could want is here: a durable design, excellent keyboard, and a host of security features. We just wish the X200s included a mobile broadband option and webcam like its cousin.

Comment
Lenovo: Lenovo is one of the biggest international manufacturer since the acquisition of the IBM-notebook sector. The market share is high as the number of reviewed models in the German and English speaking countrys. Nevertheless Lenovo-notebooks rarely achieve top-positions according total rating or the price/value relation. Remarkable good evaluations exist for the workmanship and quality.
Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip with shared memory on Mobile Intel 915GM chipset. It is the predecessor of Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The performance can be compared with the Mobile Radeon 9000 (with a 64 bit memory bus).
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) X3100 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on a Mobile Intel 965GM chipset. It is the successor of GMA 950 and features a fully programmable pipeline (supports Aero Glass fully and DirectX 10 with newest drivers). The peformance of the X3100 is clearly better than the GMA 950, still demanding modern games won't run fluently.
Lower end of Graphics Cards for users who want to play games. New games should run on these cards, but only with decreased details and mediocre resolution.
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45 chipset (Montevina). Because of two more shaders and a higher core clock, much faster than the old GMA X3100. Still not advisable for gamers (DirectX 10 games not playable or only with very low settings). The integrated video processor is able to help decode HD videos (AVC/VC-2/MPEG2) , e.g., for a fluent Blu-Ray playback with slow CPUs.
>> Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Pentium M: With Intel chip set (855 or 915) and Intel WLAN also available with the name Centrino (name for the package).
In the comparison very fast per megahertz and very modest with weaknesses in floating point operations.
It is also available as a low voltage version with very small current consumption.
Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
12.1: This is the most common display format for subnotebooks and an average size for subnotebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs less power, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.
13.3: This is a frequent and the biggest display format for sub-notebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs few current, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.
>> To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.1 kg:
This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist hardly any models in this extreme class of weight. 7-9 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
2 kg:
These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
81.49%: This rating is to be considered as average, because the amount of notebooks with better ratings is about equal like the amount with worse ratings.
>> Further information can be found in our Notebook Purchase Guide.
