Lenovo ThinkPad X200s reviewed: it's worth the splurge

If the X200t is just too convertible-y for you, and the standard X200 just doesn't last long enough for your 18-hour plane rides, the X200s won't do you any go...

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s Review

Since the X200s is designed to be a notebook for road warriors it uses an Intel Core 2 Duo low voltage (LV) processor to provide better battery life. While an LV processor does mean slower performance compared to the regular voltage Core 2 Duo...

Surprisingly good performance from a low voltage processor ; Runs very cool and quiet thanks to unique fan design ; New WXGA+ widescreen display and extra width means more keyboard space and can fit enough on the screen for dual-window viewing ; Great...

No built-in high-definition video output port such as HDMI, DVI or Display Port ; No touchpad available, just TouchPoint ; No built-in optical drive ; Costs $500 more than the X200

Overall, the X200s is an excellent business ultraportable due to its durability, light weight, great battery life (at least with a 9-cell battery) and more than adequate performance when it comes to business related applications

Review: Lenovo Thinkpad X200s Notebook

Netbooks? No thanks! Mini-notebooks, as before, define the image

Superb case stability; Docking port; Extensive communication possibilities; 3 year warranty ex-factory; Biggest possible dimensioning of the keyboard; Full-fledged and pleasant to use keyboard; Bright, outdoor suitable display; Low emissions with...

Connection positioned on the case; No touchpad; Present hard disk in the test device

Business notebooks of the classic 12" subnotebook category, especially devices from Dell and HP. Because of the striking price differences maybe also larger sized mini-notebooks.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s

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. And at...

Great value ($500 less than competitors); sturdy build

Lacks optical drive, touchpad, and webcam

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...

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s 7470

Lenovo ThinkPad X200s actually X200 is identical with the chassis, just take off the WebCam X200 matching with fingerprint recognition. Besides the model on screen shaft X200s written from the outside, we can find its appearance with the 10 X200. So it...

The price is reasonable
