Lenovo ThinkPad X1 - Review



If you can overlook the ThinkPad X1's underwhelming battery performance, it is exactly the kind of business ultraportable for frequent flying executives - slim, sturdy and easy to tuck away. It looks decent, feels good, is built like a tank, and has one of the best keyboards you’ll ever find on a laptop.

Pros
  • Slim and sturdy
  • Gorilla Glass display
  • Spill-resistant, backlit keyboard
  • Great connectivity options
  • Useful proprietary software
  • Very good performance

Cons
  • Disappointing battery life
  • Heats up on the left edge





The new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is Lenovo’s ultimate business ultraportable, the latest in ThinkPad’s much-acclaimed X series of business laptops; a successor to Lenovo ThinkPad X300 and X301 laptops. The X1 is sleek, light and built like a tank; it also has the latest Intel processors, unique features, and one of the best typing experiences on a commercial laptop to offer. Let’s take a closer look at the ThinkPad X1’s business-worthiness, if you will.
