Lenovo ThinkPad X1 – thin, fast, elegant antisocial!
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 – Lenovo rock-solid guarantee of quality products may become known. But the Chinese manufacturer learned from the criticism of the old-fashioned design of his earlier shows this über sexy notebooks Lenovo ThinkPad X1. Jummie!
See a few pictures of Lenovo ThinkPad X1 and you might not immediately hit back by design. However, that will be completely different when you power in your hands. Only then is it clear how well the manufacturer on the design of this notebook is considered.
With its 1.7 kg and only 17 millimeters thick, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 very mobile. The build quality is, as we expect from Lenovo are well above average. This is a notebook designed to be towed anywhere. Every part feels solid, and the thing can certainly take a beating. Though I dare not test this personally …
Matte finish
The stylish matte finish on the need not only less afraid of striking scratches, fingerprints are barely visible. In addition, the keyboard is a pleasure to work with. The subtly lit buttons have a solid feedback and are dimpled so your fingers rest easily.
In the middle of the keyboard – as always – Lenovo’s trademark red steering gear stick to be found. Personally I have never been a fan of this mouse and control the energy in the development had stuck in my view would be better spent on the trackpad can be.
This trackpad is not a terribly high. Although the multi-touch scrolling works fine, the picture also shows not very accurate. Regularly a flick of your finger or a double click is not recognized, which eventually can certainly be irritating. However, it is nice that the trackpad, with its light structure, a large button. Makes clicking the appropriate links happy little simpler.
On-the-go
The notebook Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a 160GB SSD drive fast but unfortunately lacks a simple DVD drive. This means that any additional software using the available USB ports (2.0 and 3.0) must be installed. However, there are cool features on the device as a fingerprint reader and a SIM card slot. The latter will be especially useful for business users on-the-go online to work even when there is no Wi-Fi is available.
The 13.3-inch display (Gorilla Glass), the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is definitely one of their priorities. The picture is 1366×768 pixels, with its very quiet on the eyes, making long sessions fly by effortlessly. It’s watching HD movies on this display truly a delight. The latter do also the built-in speakers work fine.
Like a charm
Get your house in the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 then you are assured of a laptop that can easily last for years. The fast Intel Core i7 processor delivers together with the 8GB of internal memory that everything always runs like a charm. Even when multiple heavy programs running the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 lets you not forsake. For gaming this is not the best choice. Although most current games can be played, makes the lack of a graphics card that you are still not the maximum out of it.
One of the biggest drawbacks to this ThinkPad is still the battery life. Although Lenovo claims that the 4-cell battery guarantees about 5 hours at work, and there was the thing to always use an average of 3 hours with it. Disabling Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and lowering the screen brightness can still pretty expensive racks.
Would you really can work for a long time then you have the external battery rapid charge to buy the battery life seems to raise up to 10 hours. This adds a bit of weight but disappears rather inconspicuous in the notebook. The battery for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 itself is not removed. Something that some users may be a deal breaker.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 again of his most trusted side. A notebook mainly at the business user tips will operate with its wonderful keyboard, compact design, fast processor and advanced features as a fingerprint scanner and SIM card slot. Pity is that the battery was not too long and insists that the trackpad accuracy is inadequate because otherwise we had an absolute must in your hands. However, the appropriateness build quality together with the high specs for you this year absolutely ThinkPad can work with satisfaction. Provided you have the high price tag of 1,999 euros can step course. Lenovo ThinkPad X1
