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.

73% Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet (Windows Vista)
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
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 English Archive.org version
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.

Strange Mix-Up: Lenovo Thinkpad X61s : Lenovo Comes Late
Source: Tom's Guide English Archive.org version
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 is known for making some of the best business notebooks money can buy, and the ThinkPad X61s continues this proud tradition. This sub-4lb. notebook is packed to the gills with next-gen technology and offers surprisingly blazing performance, impressive battery life and loads of useful features. Though its thin-and-light stature is not for everyone, and the optional dock is required for full functionality, the X61s is a road warrior's dream come true. Thin-and-light notebooks have always been about compromise, due to their small size, but Lenovo has done a commendable job of getting around those compromises by offering the docking station and extra batteries. This is a notebook that does not compromise on performance one iota, as it’s very fast, which is surprising to see (and feel) on a notebook of this size.

Lenovo ThinkPad X61s Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
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.

Source: Tech Advisor English Archive.org version
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. At £1,399 inc VAT (as of September 27, 2007), however, the Lenovo ThinkPad X61t ultraportable tablet PC is expensive. 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. Our review Lenovo ThinkPad X61t, equipped with a low-voltage 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo L7500 chip and 2GB of DDR2-667 SDRAM, turned in a good WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 64. 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 English Archive.org version
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?

Sony VAIO NR Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
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.

80% Review: Lenovo Thinkpad X61 notebook computer
Source: vnunet.com English Archive.org version
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 English Archive.org version
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 English Archive.org version
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.

Thinkpad Air. As slimmest and lightest ever model in the Thinkpad series, Lenovo shows off its most recent creation. The initial hype surrounding the compact notebook was only further heightened by the near simultaneous introduction of the MacBook Air. In complete contrast to the slick but air-headed Apple, Lenovo stayed down to earth with the business competence provided by the Thinkpad X300, particularly in terms of its extensive communicative capacity.

Lenovo’s lightweight gem
Source: Star Techcentral English Archive.org version
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. Good battery life; fully featured but lightweight; good security features; excellent keyboard

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 has done a very good job with the X300, and if we win the lottery soon we’d choose it over the MacBook Air simply because it’s just as portable but a lot more flexible. Despite its size, the X300 makes very few compromises to achieve such a slim profile and it’s so solid construction makes it feels almost unbreakable. The biggest drawback is clearly its small 64GB hard drive, and that situation is exacerbated by the fact that only 36GB are free. Granted it’s a business notebook so it is likely users won’t be ripping movies to the hard drive or engaging in other “home user” type of activities. Anyone could easily augment this storage with a USB drive but still – 36GB is below what we’d consider a bare minimum amount of storage for a notebook these days.

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.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300
Source: Bios Magazine English Archive.org version
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 ultimate all-round ultra-portable laptop for mobile business users

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X300
Source: Hardware Zone English Archive.org version
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.

Averatec AV2575 Review
Source: PC World English Archive.org version
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.

80% Lenovo X300 In-Depth Review
Source: Laptop Logic English Archive.org version
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.

Lenovo X300 notebook - No Compromise
Source: Inside HW English Archive.org version
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's buttoned-up Thinkpad X300 ultraportable notebook computer may not have the Apple MacBook Air's superslim Spartan style, but after firing up the X300, it's hard to not love this laptop.

While it does cost a fair amount, the Lenovo ThinkPad X300 proves that you can cram everything you need into a tiny package.

Lenovo ThinkPad X300 Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
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. Key things we'll want to find out is how the battery life holds up, how the heat is when under stress, whether installing a bunch of applications slows the performance down and how such extra features as the camera and GPS work out. 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.

80% Lenovo X200 Tablet Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
Still, $1,689 is the cost of entry for the multitouch X200 Tablet, and you’re getting a sturdy, reliable machine that’s all set for what we keep getting told is the next phase in finger-control. How relevant that is to you depends very much on what you plan to do with your notebook, of course, and though we’d argue multitouch makes more sense on the X200 Tablet than it does on the T400s, it’s still taking a niche device into an even narrower market.

Adding multitouch, Windows 7, and faster processor options to the original ThinkPad X200 Tablet makes this system even more compelling than before, and its $2,075 price makes it even more of a bargain. While it’s a bit bulkier than the Dell Latitude XT2, the extra mass is a worthy compromise given this ThinkPad’s longer battery life, better performance, and lower price tag. We can imagine executives, physicians, and other mobile professionals walking around with their X200 Tablets in portrait mode, and using the incredible handwriting recognition and enticing multitouch gestures to take notes, surf the Web, and work on important projects.

As we found in our testing of the Lenovo ThinkPad T400s Multi-Touch, the advanced touch-screen abilities built into the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system are a welcome convenience in a traditional clamshell notebook. But touch is absolutely essential in a tablet, so we were eager to get our hands on the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet Multi-Touch. Its new-generation panel and handy Lenovo SimpleTap utility make an already excellent tablet even better. The addition of Windows 7 and a superb touch screen make the already excellent X200 Tablet even more usable.

Among 12-inch Tablet notebooks, the ThinkPad X200t stands out with its build quality and good software. Though the ULV processor can’t compete with more powerful low voltage Core 2 Duo processors that are standard on most Intel-based notebooks, it ensures light weight and long battery life. The lack of an internal optical drive can be limiting however, and adding an external drive increases cost, travel weight and bulk. The finger touchable screen looks great at max brightness and the notebook runs quiet and cool. If you are looking for an ultra-light Tablet with wide range of connectivity options, the ThinkPad X200t should be on your short list.

Lenovo - ThinkPad X200 review
Source: IT Reviews English Archive.org version
Lenovo's laptops aren't exactly designed for those looking for cheap bargains, but if you do decide to shell out for the ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC you'll get a computer with plenty of interesting features. This is a beautifully made notebook with a stunning screen and very usable keyboard. It is small and light, and the hard drive in our review sample was easily big enough. But with no optical drive and average battery life the price seems hefty.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
Lenovo's ThinkPad range has produced some of the most versatile business machines available, and the sturdy ThinkPad X200 (£1321 inc. VAT) continues this trend. It's the first 12.1-inch ThinkPad we've seen to feature a widescreen aspect ratio, and the 1280 x 800-pixel resolution allows you to fit two documents side by side with ease. Colours are bright and easy to see in all conditions, with reflections kept to a minimum by the matt TFT finish. Graphics are handled by an integrated Intel chip. Although it lacks the style of some other machines, the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 more than makes up for it in quality and usability.

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.

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.

The X200 improves upon the X61 in several significant ways without diminishing its number one selling point: weight. Most notably, the transition to a widescreen manages to nudge the notebook just out of the size category that might be called “annoyingly small” and into a more comfortable range. The $1,199 USD price tag places it a cool grand below the X300, and with more grunt under the hood, too. Due to its lack of an optical drive, we probably wouldn’t recommend buying the X200 as a sole do-it-all machine, but for lightweight travelers, this systems hard to beat.

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 English Archive.org version

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

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.

Ultraportables are the cool if expensive segment of the laptop world, first witnessed as lightweight notebooks for the business user. Chinese company Lenovo is now a standard-bearer for such high-end corporate laptops, continuing the trusted ThinkPad line after it bought IBM's PC manfacturing division four years ago. The Lenovo ThinkPad X301 has a built-in optical drive and several data ports, where most ultraportables are lacking. Conservative businessman may find what they're looking for in this traditional yet lightweight laptop, although it is overpriced for the build quality and performance it delivers.

Sublime build quality and excellent mobility, but it comes at a steep price. Costing over £2000, the ThinkPad X301 is for the very wealthy business user, but that doesn't prevent it from easily being one of the best ultraportables we've seen to date. With its incredibly thin chassis, light weight and great usability, it comes the closest to matching the Sony for sheer portability, and does so without any compromises.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X300 was a breath of fresh air when it was released early in 2008: a sub-1.5kg laptop that somehow included a sizeable screen and optical drive. Now, just over a year later, we see the next step in its evolution. There are no fundamental changes with the X301, just nips and tucks designed to make it better suited to life on the move in 2009. An incremental upgrade from the ThinkPad X300, and ultimately a little disappointing. For this price, we expect close to perfection, and the X301 doesn't quite deliver.

Yes, it’s expensive, and it remains a million miles away from the MacBook Air when it comes to pure desirability but, as with the X300, the ThinkPad X301 is a solid choice and a far better machine for the business user. Along with the incredibly thin chassis and light weight, this is every bit as tough as larger ThinkPad models, and is a machine tailor-made for a life on the road. Think carefully about how much you need that SSD, however, as the regular hard drive model looks like a bargain in comparison.

The ThinkPad X301 takes the original X300 and adds a nice performance jump with the new Intel SU9400 Montevina family processor plus adds a DisplayPort to the mix. Also available now is a 128GB SSD option, though this costs $400 more than the standard 64-bit SSD, if you're buying the X301 price probably isn't too much of a concern for you. The $3,000 laptop market is certainly an exclusive group of buyers, but for many business people their laptop and Blackberry are a lifeline to getting work and deals done, and thereby money made. So at the end of the day if you're a globe trotting executive that needs a reliable and top of the line work tool, the cost of the X301 can be jusitifed and this slim form factor machine can serve you well.

When delivering a verdict on the X301, I have to echo my thoughts about the X300: this is an impressive system that demonstrates an ideal balance of portability and features. There is no question that it is expensive, but as dream notebooks go, this one is decidedly on the practical side. The 13.3-inch display looks quite good, but it also allows for multitasking, something that you don’t tend to see on systems under the 3.5 pound mark. Additionally you get an optical drive, a feature that is not as crucial as it once was, but remains important for some users. The X301 may not be as flashy as some other executive notebooks, but it has more features than most of them and the price, while prohibitive, includes a 64GB SSD, so we know why it’s high. The battery life could be better, but it is acceptable if you are packing the 6-cell. There are smaller, thinner, and lighter systems available today, but few can match the overall package that we see in the X301.

At $2,920, the Lenovo ThinkPad X301 is a pricey, albeit excellent, lightweight business machine that has the security, wireless options, and connections that mobile professionals crave. If you don’t want to make the splurge, the Sony VAIO VGN-Z530N is another stylish business machine that starts at a far more wallet-friendly $1,999. But the X301 combines all the business features you’ll need with the sleekness of a MacBook Air. You just might want to plop down the extra dough for the extra three-cell battery to make this fine notebook one that can last your entire workday.

Elaborately Flexible. Lenovo's ThinkPads have already always had a good reputation in business circles. Lenovo also makes so-called "pen operated laptops" for more specialized application fields. The ThinkPad X200 is such a notebook, better known as a "tablet PC", and costs over 2000 euro. We will reveal if it's worth purchasing in our review.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet's small size, light weight, good battery life and integrated 3G model make it a great choice for anyone who needs to work and stay connected while travelling. The tablet functions work very well for general system navigation and web browsing and handwriting recognition is excellent. It's an expensive piece of kit, so it's only for those of you who require excellent portability and tablet functionality.

Netbooks? No thanks! Mini-notebooks, as before, define the image of the current retail charts. Therefore it can't be excluded that even die-hard business users won't come into temptation in view of the partly very low acquisition price. With high requirements on for instance input devices or ports, most mini-notebooks do not look particularly good, though. Lenovo wants to fish with the ThinkPad X200s exactly in this target group for customers.

Lenovo’s X200s has qualities we’ve come to expect from a ThinkPad—and that’s a good thing. Its magnesium alloy chassis is wrapped in the line’s signature matte black finish, making for a notebook that feels sturdy and looks serious. The upshot is that the X200s is portable, sturdy, and up to the task of your average workload. It’s also $500 less than its competitors. While we could certainly take that money and buy Lenovo’s docking station with an optical drive for around $340, or buy an external DVD burner for even less, we prefer to have the whole kit-and-kaboodle in one complete package.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s Review

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.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Notebook Review
Source: Techspot English Archive.org version
As configured in this review, the X100e costs $605, more than netbooks and closer to the ultraportable category. A similarly spec'd Acer Aspire AS1551-5448 sells for $519.99 on Newegg. This nets you an extra 1GB of memory, a 100MHz slower CPU and a drop to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. At the end of the day, if you desperately need a netbook-sized computer with more processing power than an Intel Atom single core can provide, but can't afford to drop a couple hundred bucks more, the X100e is a solid buy. If you can spare the extra cash, though, you might be best looking at a true ultraportable.

At the end of the day, however, it's not all about performance. Lenovo markets the X100e as a professional grade system for businesses and schools, with worldwide support, support for corporate operating systems, advanced manageability features, and a number of very robust warranty options. If you're looking for an ultraportable/netbook to roll out to your company or institution, the X100e might be a very smart choice.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e: When Build Quality Matters Most
Source: AnandTech English Archive.org version
So yes, it's last generation tech. It runs hot, and it only lasts about five hours on the battery. But the ThinkPad X100e is also exceptionally well-built and incredibly easy to use, upgrade, and service. For many users these aren't going to be big enough perks to make up the difference in price between a faster unit from a competing vendor, but there are going to be some users out there frustrated by slow ultraportables with mediocre keyboards.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e review
Source: T3 English Archive.org version
At £550 the notebook may be pricier than rivals, but you can save money if you're prepared to settle slightly more basic specs. Second tier battery performance aside, if you want a very usable notebook, with above average performance, the Lenovo ThinkPad x100e is worth serious consideration.  If battery is your priority go for the MSI Wind U160 instead.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Dual Core
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The Lenovo  ThinkPad X100e with the AMD Turion Neo X2 processor feels like a completely different laptop than the X100e with the older single-core processor. The single biggest failing of the single-core X100e was lackluster performance and the newer dual-core processor completely resolves that problem. This configuration of the ThinkPad X100e is so much nicer in terms of real-life use that I have to wonder why Lenovo decided to offer the single-core version at all. If you want a well-built, 11-inch notebook with good performance for less than $600 then I would not hesitate to recommend the ThinkPad X100e with the AMD Turion Neo X2 dual-core processor. Yes, there are larger notebooks available at the same price with better performance, and there are some 11-inch notebooks that have better performance if you're willing to pay significantly more, but the ThinkPad X100e hits the "sweet spot" of portability, performance, and price.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e review (dual core AMD L625 model)
Source: Liliputing English Archive.org version
Lenovo offers dual core models of the ThinkPad X100e for $499 and up, and given my experience with this laptop that’s a pretty good price for what you get. Unfortunately, the AMD chips used in these laptops are already dated, and I suspect you would get better performance and similar battery life out of a newer laptop with a dual core AMD Athlon II Neo K325 processor.vOn the other hand, the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e with an AMD Turion Neo X2 dual core L625 processor is reasonably fast, gets reasonably good battery life, and has an excellent keyboard. If you’re looking for a thin and light notebook designed with a business-class look and feel, the X100e is one of the most affordable options on the market. And good luck finding another machine in this price range with Lenovo’s TrackPoint system.

While its mixed levels of power and small size make it more akin to a netbook than a laptop, there's no denying the sheer quality of the ThinkPad X100e. By offering the key strengths of more expensive machines at a cheaper price, this is a truly great ultraportable for the price.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X100e fits somewhere between a netbook and a full laptop in size and capabilities, and is also one of the lowest priced ThinkPads available. Lenovo's Thinkpad X100e is certainly more powerful than a netbook, and more usable thanks to its 11.6in display. However, its weight and price are comparable with some larger laptops with a 13in screen. Nevertheless, the X100e exudes a build quality rarely seen on other laptops, and many buyers will find this reassuring.

Lenovo Thinkpad X100e: AMD in Thinkpad
Source: Inside HW English Archive.org version
Notebooks that integrate hardware HDD protection, as X100e does, are scarce. Increased data safety which this protection provides will certainly be of interest to business users. One of the USB ports (coloured yellow) is an “Always On” port, which means that it can be used for charging other devices even when the notebook is completely off, in standby or hibernation state. The only condition to this is that the power source be the electrical network, and not the battery itself. The integrated webcam is very good, which means that the only thing you’ll need for high-quality video conferences is a good broadband connection.  The final grade of ThinkPad X100e has to consist of two parts. One of them was under the jurisdiction of Lenovo and that one is expectedly very high. The only thing that should’ve been done from their side is the installation of a higher-capacity battery, which would’ve compensated to a certain extent for sizeable power consumption. The part provided by AMD hasn’t left such a good impression and Intel definitely wins the battle this time around.   The idea of being able to own a ThinkPad notebook for just 400€ seems very good indeed, but one shouldn’t rush the decision. Those that require a light and compact notebook regardless of humble autonomy are rare, but if you’re among them, you’ll have little to reproach to Lenovo’s ThinkPad X100e.

83% Why Lenovo's A-list ThinkPad X100e is superior to any netbook and many CULVs
Source: PC Authority English Archive.org version
If you're familiar with the ThinkPad styling - acres of black highlighted by a flash of red or a tease of yellow - then just imagine it shrunk in the wash and you'll have the tiny X100e. Lenovo's previous X-series portables were approaching waif-like proportions, but the X100e takes the ThinkPad into new territory.

Compared with these options, your £400-odd doesn't get you a machine with outstanding battery life, or great performance. So for some, the X100e might fall between two stools. But for conservative buyers, or those valuing robustness over whizz-bang features, and for those who find netbooks have too many compromises, the X100e is a strong contender.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Review
Source: Notebookreview.com English Archive.org version
The ThinkPad X100e is an extremely well-designed business ultraportable that will no doubt meet the needs of most business travelers who are looking for a small, ThinkPad-quality laptop at a low price. That said, this configuration of the X100e falls short in two key areas: processor performance and battery life.
Lenovo should have avoided using last year's single-core AMD processor and stuck with the latest generation of low-voltage dual-core processors from AMD. Lenovo will begin shipping the X100e with the dual-core AMD Turion Neo processors soon, and the higher performance and better battery life of the new processors will make the X100e a far more compelling option.
As it currently stands, the ThinkPad X100e is a surprisingly solid little netbook (Yes, I called it a netbook. Sorry, Lenovo.) that would have been perfect if it delivered just a little more in terms of performance and battery life. This configuration falls just a little short of earning our Editor's Choice Award, but we still think it will be a popular choice for a number of business buyers.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Ultraportable Review
Source: Hot Hardware English Archive.org version
If you hadn't noticed, we really like the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e. The classic ThinkPad cues that you're used to are all here (save for the blue Enter key), and while the port selection left some things to be desired (an ExpressCard slot, FireWire port, eSATA or HDMI socket would've been nice), the overall value cannot be overlooked with a starting price of under $500. It's built extremely well; it's rugged, tough, solid and rigid.

For Rs. 29,000, the ThinkPad X100e is more expensive than most netbooks, but, it would be unfair to compare a ThinkPad to a standard run-of-the-mill netbook. Also, if you compare it with other ThinkPads, it indeed is the most affordable, as touted on the manufacturer’s website. A ThinkPad fan who wants an ultra-portable laptop for basic computing on the go, will most likely rule out the netbook segment and go with this new tiny entrant, despite the price difference.

Is the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e a netbook or an ultraportable? The answer seems to be: a little of both. It's faster than most netbooks, with a larger, higher-resolution screen; a spacious keyboard; and a bigger hard drive than you'll usually find in lilliputian laptops. You pay for those extras, though. It's a little heavier than run-of-the-mill netbooks and has limited battery life. AMD's Neo processor makes this a speedy netbook, but forget about working all day on one charge.

Despite having an iPad on our desk, a colleague recently paid a visit to expressly check out the Lenovo ThinkPad x100e. The ThinkPad x100e is essentially the ThinkPad Netbook users have been dreaming of, with one of the best keyboards we've ever tested. Unfortunately, its performance, though better than Atom Netbooks', comes at the cost of longer battery life.

Lenovo - ThinkPad X100e review

The X100e is Lenovo's first AMD-based ThinkPad and it is small enough to rival netbooks in size. The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e is a solidly built, small format notebook computer. The absence of an optical drive will annoy some, but if netbooks don't have quite enough oomph for you, and the money is available, this could be a good alternative.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e review
Source: Engadget English Archive.org version
We wanted the X100e to stay on that virtual pedestal. We really did. But while it's impressive in many ways -- oh, that keyboard! -- its battery life and heat issues just cannot be overlooked. There's no doubt that for $549 the X100e packs more power and graphics than the average $399 netbook, but other 11.6-inch Intel ULV laptops, like the $400 Acer Aspire 1410, rock similar performance scores and run for about five hours on a single charge. We'd love to see Lenovo offer a version of the X100e with an Intel ULV processor, but we'd bet that for some, the X100e's extra horsepower and stellar ergonomics will be all it takes to hand over the plastic.

Lenovo is no stranger to the netbook genre, after successfully launching the IdeaPad S10 series and the S12 ($500 direct, ). But it had yet to launch a legitimate netbook for business users, one that it can proudly call a ThinkPad—until now. Though Lenovo doesn't want it to be known as a netbook, the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e ($550 direct) has all the trappings of one. The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e is an ideal netbook for business, complete with speedy AMD parts, business software tools, and fantastic user experience.

It’s the key interface elements of screen, keyboard and pointing devices that make recommending this mini laptop simple. It really is a treat to use when set against screen-cramped netbooks with undersized wobbling keyboards and ill-placed click buttons. Performance is also superior to your run-of-the-mill Atom netbook. But just remember that the AMD chipset means your unplugged runtimes will be far shorter than we’d prefer, especially when armed with such a generous battery pack.

Overall, the X100e is a good lightweight laptop for the price. It's a low-cost ultraportable with more pep than a netbook , more room for typing, and a bigger keyboard than a netbook—the best keyboard in its class. It also feels more solid than competing systems and offers better graphics performance. However, we’d like this $569 AMD-powered notebook a lot more if it offered greater battery life and ran cooler.

PC history has made it easy to assume every ThinkPad is black, expensive, and Intel-powered, but it's time to think again. Available in crimson, the ThinkPad X100e delivers a very usable 11.6-inch screen and full-size keyboard in a 3-pound package. This baby ThinkPad costs much less than Lenovo’s other corporate offerings. Just don’t expect the exemplary keyboard and performance that distinguish the ThinkPad line.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X100e is a nice change from the standard netbook market thanks to the AMD Athlon Neo processor and its improved integrated graphics. It makes the X100e a nice mobile 720p HD video platform. The excellent keyboard, trackpad and display are all a step up from the average netbook. The downside is that the battery life is not near what the Intel based models can achieve and it does cost more than a similarly equipped Intel netbook.

At the start we wondered whether a comparatively budget notebook could deliver not only sufficient power for a mobile professional but tick all the boxes we’ve come to expect from ThinkPads. With the updated BIOS, the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e puts in a significantly stronger showing than regular Intel Atom netbooks, overshadowed only by middling battery longevity. Faster dual-core processors should increase performance even more, but we’ll have to wait and see what damage they might do to to runtimes.

Eschewing fashion and fads for straightforward practicality, it’s little surprise to find legions of ThinkPads barracked in businesses across the world. After all, the Lenovo brand is almost a byword for durability, but one thing they’ve never been is cheap. The ThinkPad SL500 skirted around the £450 exc VAT mark, but as a chunky 15.4in laptop, it’s out of the question for those on the move. Combining netbook portability with Lenovo's ThinkPad quality, the X100e is an absolute steal.

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e with dual core AMD, budget ultraportable at its best
Source: Netbooklive English Archive.org version
In the end, the new Lenovo X100e with AMD dual-core inside is a big improvement over the single core version. It keeps the good parts, including construction, chassis and keyboard, but takes performance, autonomy and heat/noise to another level. That makes it a desired product, especially since it is decently priced below 600 bucks. In fact, it was so appreciated by the guys at Notebookreview.com, that they gave it an Editor's Choice Award .

The X201 is a very strong offering and it’s in keeping with what we’ve seen from the ThinkPads over the last few years. The Core i-series processors marked a big step forward for the ultraportables, especially considering that the availability of the full-powered Core i5. The choice between the ThinkPad and the EliteBooks is getting tough though. Personally I don’t care about the optical drive, but I do really wish the ThinkPad had a digital video out option.

Few brands have as firmly established a brand identity as the Lenovo ThinkPad (and the IBM ThinkPad before that). The iconic look and feel of these systems have changed in only subtle ways over the years, maintaining a road-tested list of features, from the solid, chunky keyboards to the jutting top lip of the display lid to the familiar red trackpoint and secondary mouse buttons. Anyone looking for the power of a midsize laptop in a compact 12-inch body has only a few choices, and none to date top Lenovo's excellent ThinkPad X201.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X201 offers quite a few solid features compared to the older X200. Users who prefer a touchpad interface can now get it on the X201 and X201 Tablet, and even though it is netbook-sized it is still very usable. The newest Intel platform offers a huge boost in overall performance from the previous generation and in some cases doubled the 3D performance.

Lenovo's super-fast multitouch convertible crams Core i7 power into an ultraportable design. With its faster processor and new touchpad, in many ways the ThinkPad X201 is still the business tablet to beat. However, its faster performance comes with a significant drop in battery life (from 7 hours to 5 hours in the case of our configuration), so if having all-day endurance is important to you and the original X200 tablet is still available when you're shopping, you may want to consider the older model.

Budget notebook made better. The ThinkPad X120e with its AMD Fusion core marked a significant improvement over the 2010 X100e, but does the Sandy Bridge-equipped X121e bring enough to the table to supplant the award-winning X120e?

The Lenovo ThinkPad X121e 3045 is a practical, portable laptop that has a lot to offer business users – especially those that travel and work in cramped conditions like aircraft and trains. The keyboard and touchpad took some getting used to, and the lack of an internal optical drive could be a deal breaker for some. It does come at an attractive price for the build quality and essential features available.

While there may be many more convertible laptops on the horizon, the Lenovo ThinkPad X230t is definitely the easy choice for those who want productivity for work and the flexibility to pick up and go. It takes all of the capability of our business ultraportable, the Lenovo ThinkPad X230, and puts it into the same form factor as our previous Editors' Choice for Windows 7 tablets, the Lenovo ThinkPad X220 tablet. Combine the two, and you get the Lenovo ThinkPad X230t, our new Editors' Choice for convertible Windows 7 laptops in the workplace.

Lenovo ThinkPad X240

The Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is the latest in Lenovo’s range of ultraportable business devices. This 12.5 inch machine weighs in at 1.3 kg. The battery life is claimed to be a stellar 17.4 hours, but only if the bigger 6-cell battery is chosen over the 3 cell. The 3 cell battery is purported to last approximately 8 hours. With a range of 4th generation processors from the Intel Core i7-4600U paired with the Intel HD4400 that can go up to 3.00 GHz to the decidedly more sedate Intel Core i3-4010U with 1.70GHz, there are enough variations to suit most individual uses. Gamers will not find anything to interest them here unless playing only lightly demanding games is the purpose. For portable work uses, this machine can handle it all with ease. There is the option to go with Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 or even Windows 7 Professional, for those concerned about compatibility issues. The display is a brightly colorful IPS screen which sports a resolution of 1366 x 768, suitable for a screen that is 12.5 inches big. However, it may show up as grainy during use as an entertainment device.

One thing that is constant with machines in the ThinkPad line, is the durability of the machines. A spill resistant backlit keyboard, a magnesium bottom, an internal roll cage and a carbon fiber lid all combined with great engineering suggests that this is a difficult machine to destroy by drops, knocks, spills, extreme temperatures, atmospheric pressure, or vibrations. Overall, this is slated to be one of the best options among the ultraportable business machines that are available today.

Pioneer. The 12.5-inch ThinkPad of the X series has been completely revamped - while still staying true to the core strengths of its well-made predecessors.

The X240 is for those of you who want larger laptop amenities in a small chassis, from the internal upgrade possibilities to plenty of ports. It's rare to see wired RJ-45 Ethernet on a 12.5" machine for example, and the Lenovo also has a mini DisplayPort, VGA, two USB 3.0 ports, 3.5mm combo audio, an SD card slot and SIM card slot (for models with 3G/4G).

Lenovo ThinkPad X240 Ultrabook Review: A Philosophical Shift
Source: PC Perspective English Archive.org version
Unlike the X230, which merely substituted the traditional (and excellent) ThinkPad keyboard with a nearly-equivalent AccuType Chiclet-style model, the X240 brings some pretty striking changes to the table—and not all of them are necessarily positive. For starters, in the definitely negative category, there’s the new clickpad design, which is difficult to operate, cheap-feeling, and rickety in comparison to previous models—hardly a suitable replacement for physical buttons. In addition to that, we’ve also lost another USB port (bringing the grand total to just two USB 3.0 ports), and the once-fabled 1080p screen option appears to have vanished into thin air (to be continued…). The build is also notably compromised in a few areas, with some un-ThinkPad-like creakiness in the center near the touchpad and between the hinges at the top of the base unit. It’s still great overall, but not as great as it once was.

You might think the ThinkPad X240 is too thick and too heavy to qualify for Ultrabook designation, but it’s only 0.79 inches thick and it weighs just 3 pounds. And there’s a very good reason why the X240 doesn’t taper to a knife edge like the X1 Carbon does: The X240 is outfitted with two batteries and a battery bridge that enables you to swap a depleted battery for one that’s fully charged without turning the machine off. That’s slick.

It’s not stylish and it’s even a little heavy for an Ultrabook and maybe, maybe Lenovo took a step back in terms of touchpad design but those are the trade-offs you’ll have to consider. We would recommend going for an SSD-based version unless you really need that storage capacity. We counted 5 screen/touch/IPS options and as always, this Thinkpad comes with various security options along with the usual CPU and RAM choices. Windows 7 versions come, we believe, with Windows 8 licence so you don’t have to make that choice today. Take note of the fan noise report if you’re doing performance work in quiet areas.

There’s a lot to like about the X240—especially if Lenovo delivers on the optional 1080p IPS panel in the near future. The company has tweaked a few things here and there, mostly for the better (although we still miss the rubber-like lid), while leaving much of what was already excellent about the X230 alone.

Lenovo ThinkPad X240 Review
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
The Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is a small, robust, and all-around solid laptop that offers everything you need in a small system without being boisterous or in your face about it. The feel of the laptop is excellent, being a nice mixture of lightweight and small without coming across as flimsy or fragile. The display is solid on its hinges, as well, and the keyboard has the ever-popular strong report that ThinkPads are known for. At no point did I have to battle with the trackpad, which is something worth noting considering how often a trackpad has small peculiarities to which one must adjust. Even under heavy usage, the computer remained fairly cool and the fan, though running, was only audible when putting it up near your ear.

60% Lenovo ThinkPad X240 review: This 12.5-inch ultrabook packs everything but punch
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
For me, that price is too steep when competitors like the MacBook Air offer all-day endurance in a larger, lighter frame. The ThinkPad X240 is inarguably an impressive display of what's possible in mobile computing today. You'll find few, if any, other laptops that offer this many hardware features at 12.5 inches. But what good are those features if the product struggles to compete elsewhere? For one, the typing experience on a laptop is paramount, because you're ultimately stuck with what you get. In this regard, the X240 fails to live up to Lenovo's legacy, at least with the unit I've been typing on for the past week.

Lenovo ThinkPad X240

The Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is the latest in Lenovo’s range of ultraportable business devices. This 12.5 inch machine weighs in at 1.3 kg. The battery life is claimed to be a stellar 17.4 hours, but only if the bigger 6-cell battery is chosen over the 3 cell. The 3 cell battery is purported to last approximately 8 hours. With a range of 4th generation processors from the Intel Core i7-4600U paired with the Intel HD4400 that can go up to 3.00 GHz to the decidedly more sedate Intel Core i3-4010U with 1.70GHz, there are enough variations to suit most individual uses. Gamers will not find anything to interest them here unless playing only lightly demanding games is the purpose. For portable work uses, this machine can handle it all with ease. There is the option to go with Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 or even Windows 7 Professional, for those concerned about compatibility issues. The display is a brightly colorful IPS screen which sports a resolution of 1366 x 768, suitable for a screen that is 12.5 inches big. However, it may show up as grainy during use as an entertainment device.

One thing that is constant with machines in the ThinkPad line, is the durability of the machines. A spill resistant backlit keyboard, a magnesium bottom, an internal roll cage and a carbon fiber lid all combined with great engineering suggests that this is a difficult machine to destroy by drops, knocks, spills, extreme temperatures, atmospheric pressure, or vibrations. Overall, this is slated to be one of the best options among the ultraportable business machines that are available today.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X250 is another solid entry in the ThinkPad lineup, and a competent successor to last year's Lenovo ThinkPad X240. The ultraportable design is both lightweight and durable, with classic ThinkPad stylings and a healthy collection of features. It's a little light on storage, but the performance ranks alongside our top picks in the category, and the swappable battery system is a must for anyone who may need to use their laptop continuously for long days on end, such as a trade show. The Dell Latitude 14 7000 Series (E7450) remains our Editors' Choice business ultraportable, due to its slightly better performance, but the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 is a solid alternative that (in this configuration) sells for less.

Aside from a less than reliable fingerprint reader, questionable function key placement and third-party apps that need vanquishing, I have no problem recommending the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 to anyone, business user or not. The hot swappable batteries are a stroke of genius and don’t weigh the machine down or make it feel overly thick. Whenever you do switch out a battery it feels more like you’re refueling a futuristic stealth jet without landing than completing a mundane task.

The same rugged elements are all included in the latest model, as well as the relatively portable and svelte design. If you enjoyed the X240 and like having the newest thing, updating to the X250 is worth the jump. If you're new to this line up of laptops entirely, however, and you're looking for something with power and long battery life, prepare to be amazed.

Conversely, it's not as heavy as a workstation, and it's more versatile than consumer Ultrabooks. So, it's up to you: if ports and a hot-swappable battery are more important than workstation-class performance or cutting-edge consumer laptop design, then the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 is right for you. But that's sure a lot of "ifs."

Comment

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.


These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

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.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD: Onboard (shared Memory) GPU built in the GM45, GE45 and GS45 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.

ATI Radeon HD 3200: Onboard (shared Memory) graphics chip (on RS780M chipset) based on the HD 2400 graphics core. It also features the UVD video engine to decode HD videos. Beware: Under Windows XP the HD 3200 may have no 2D accelleration because of a driver problem.

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) HD Graphics: Onboard graphics card that is built in the new Arrandale CPUs (Core i3 / i5 / i7 Dual Cores). Depending on the model and Turbo Boost, the GMA HD is clocked between 166 and 766 MHz.

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).

AMD Radeon HD 6310: Integrated graphics card in the Zacate netbook processors (e.g. E-350 and E-240) featuring an UVD3 video decoder and no dedicated memory.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

Intel HD Graphics 5500: Integrated graphics card (GT2) in the Core processors of the Broadwell U-series (15 W TDP). 

» 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.

P8600:

Fast but still not overpriced dual core CPU. For most games and multimedia applications sufficient and due to the 25W TDP even for smaller notebooks useable.

SU9400:

Power efficient low voltage processor based on the Penryn 3M core that features all Penryn functions like Virtualization and Trusted Execution.

SL9600: Low Power Core 2 Duo chip with a large 6MB level 2 cache and therefore potentially good performance per MHz (but beware of Throttling in the MacBook Air).

SL9400: Power saving Low Voltage CPU featuring a large Level 2 Cache of 6MB. Therefore, the performance is better than other 1.86 GHz Core 2 Duo (with usually 1-3MB Level 2 Cache).

AMD Athlon Neo:

MV-40: Slow single core processor for small and thin laptops. A bit faster than Atom based systems but the power consumption is also higher.

Intel Core i5:

540M: The Core i5-540M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-3.06 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD 3150) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

3320M: Fast Ivy-Bridge-based dual-core, includes HD 4000 Graphics, core clock 2.6 - 3.3 GHz

3317U: Ivy-Bridge-based ULV-CPU in Q2 2012. Offers a core clock of 1.7 - 2.6 GHz and an HD 4000 GPU (350 - 1050 MHz). The TDP is rated at 17 W.

4200U:

Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.6 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.6 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

5200U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

640LM: The Core i7-640LM is a fast low voltage dual core processor (25W TDP including graphics) with a clock rate of 2.13-2.93 GHZ (Turbo Boost). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 266-566 MHz) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.

 

4600U:

A Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 2.1 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.3 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.

Intel Core i3:

2357M:

Power efficient ULV processor clocked at 1.3 GHz without Turbo boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 950 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller.

AMD E-Series:

E-350: Dual Core low power processor with an integrated graphics cards. The processor is on a level with Celeron SU2300 (1.2 GHz) and the GPU part about as fast as an Nvidia ION (2).

E-300: A low-end dual-core processor designed for the smaller laptops. An E-300 has the relatively fast HD 6310 iGPU.
