Lenovo ThinkPad X1

 

The technology press has lumped Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 into a growing category of Macbook Air competitors, but now that I've used one for awhile, I can tell you it doesn't really belong there. Though the X1 is the thinnest ThinkPad ever, it is still...

Very solid construction ; Thin and relatively light

poor battery life ; glossy screen

If the battery only lasted a couple hours longer, this would be the must-have business traveler's laptop.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1

 

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is one of the most powerful business ultraportables available, though the standard battery alone won't cut it for road warriors.

Sturdy construction. Gorilla glass is scratch-proof. Backlit keyboard. Great typing experience. HDMI and DisplayPort. Fast 2.5-inch HDD. Standard Voltage processors only. An excellent mix of wireless technologies. Dolby sound is worthy of entertainment...

No Anti-glare screen available. Standard battery alone doesn't crank out enough battery life. Hefty for an ultraportable without an optical drive.

Smarter Business Laptop. With ThinkPad X1, Lenovo presents a comp

Compact case & craftsmanship; Variety of ports; Ways to connect to internet; Comfortable keyboard & touchpad; Backlit keyboard; Bright, evenly lit screen; Good multimedia performance; Speedy hard drive; 36-month warranty

Subnotebooks with a 13.3" screen and new hardware. Among these: the similarly priced Samsung 900X3A, the Apple MacBook Air 13 Late 2010 or the MacBook Pro 13 Early 2011, although there's more selections when looking at consumer notebooks rather than...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Review

 

Although the ThinkPad line of notebooks from Lenovo is synonymous with business laptops, there hasn't been a 13-inch ThinkPad since the old X301. The all new ThinkPad X1 promises to deliver all the features and dependability you expect from a ThinkPad...

Thin design with lots of ports ; Excellent performance ; Bright screen with Gorilla Glass

Integrated battery ; Glossy screen ; Annoying touchpad issue ; A powerful notebook that combines the durability and features of a business-class Thinkpad with the style of a consumer laptop.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Review

 

We got the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 in our hands early, to get the skinny on this laptop targeted for the business user. This slim black laptop looks good on the outside, but like Mom used to say “It's what's inside that counts.” With rumors of Intel...

Like many laptops, the X1 is greatly limited in terms of expandability beyond the initial options at the time of purchase. But is seems like Lenovo is attempting to build a laptop that will be useful and sturdy enough to work for years to come. The...

Hands on: Can the Thinkpad X1 take on the MacBook Air?

 

Lenovo is trying to pick up a more style-conscious audience with its new ultrathin laptop

Good performance, backlit keyboard, fast charge time, durable display, three-year warranty

Heavier than MacBook Air, sealed battery, no VGA port

In our tests, it all adds up to a top-performing executive-class notebook. The system's 1,275 score on PassMark's PerformanceTest 7.0 benchmark suite is double the score of the Dell Vostro V130 and even passes the Asus U36JC, which was the fastest...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Notebook

 

Lenovo's ThinkPad range of notebooks are well known for their sturdy, rock solid design and build quality. They've been around for a long time and they have a distinctive feel and look to them.

The ThinkPad X1 model we reviewed with its Core i5 processor and a traditional hard disk drive sells for a price of Rs 85,000, which isn’t exactly great value for money especially when you consider the performance you get. Models with better specs are...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 review

 

Lenovo's pencil-thin business ultra-portable finally arrives, squeezing Sandy Bridge performance into a tiny package, but is the X1 really worth buying? Tom Morgan finds out.

There’s no doubt that ThinkPad X1 is impressively thin, light and robust, but also very expensive compared to other ultraportable laptops. Despite all this, its disappointing battery life and temperamental touchpad make it frustrating to use. If you...
