Lenovo cut SSD upgrade prices on ThinkPads
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Nov 5th 2008 1 CommentLenovo ThinkPad X200s reviewed: Loves you long time
By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 17th 2008 No CommentsLenovo’s X200s, announced at the same time as the X200t Tablet PC, aims to take the ethos of the company’s standard X200 ultraportable and instill some stamina into it. By switching out the standard CPU for a low-voltage processor, using an LED backlight for the display and strapping in a 9-cell battery, Lenovo claim 13.2hrs continuous runtime; Laptop Mag have have it on the bench, and under normal conditions it coasted to 10hrs 43 minutes.
Lenovo ThinkPad W700 reviewed: Niche but nice
By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 3rd 2008 1 CommentLenovo’s ThinkPad W700 caused a few double-takes when it launched, with a 5.1 x 3.2-inch Wacom digitizer built into the palm-rest, integrated color calibrator for the 17-inch 1920 x 1200 display and a range of available processors that easily let you throw away your desktop workstation. Laptop Mag have had the W700 in for testing, in the shape of a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 model priced at over $3,800, and have come up with the conclusion you might expect: it’s good, but it’s niche.

Lenovo X200t Tablet PC breaks cover
By Ewdison Then on Sunday, Aug 24th 2008 No CommentsThe first live photo of Lenovo’s ThinkPad X200t Tablet PC has appeared, not long after the existence of the ultraportable itself was confirmed by the FCC.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 22nd 2008 No CommentsLenovo’s upcoming ThinkPad X200t, the Tablet PC version of the ThinkPad X200 ultraportable, has shown up on the FCC website.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Ultraportable: Hands-On
By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Aug 12th 2008 2 CommentsWe had the opportunity to spends some hands-on time with Lenovo’s ThinkPad X200 recently, the company’s latest ultraportable and the smallest of the X-series notebooks. With a 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800 WXGA display and choice of 2.26GHz (P8400) or 2.4GHz (P8600) Intel Core 2 Duo processors, the X200 is just 0.8-inches thick. It’s also being compared by many buyers to the ThinkPad X300, reviewed back in April – that machine starts at $2,268, compared to the X200’s $1,385 – which is slightly thinner but, thanks to its optical drive, is actually a little bit heavier than the X200.
Lenovo ThinkPad X200: battery life ‘especially impressive’
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jul 31st 2008 No CommentsThe road is clear for Lenovo’s X200 ultraportable now that Intel have officially announced the Centrino 2 platform, and Crave is one of the first to get the 12.1-inch widescreen notebook in to review. Right now we’ll have to be sated with some first-impressions and comparisons with previous Lenovo laptops, but there’s enough promise to keep X200 pre-order customers keen.
