Lenovo X200t Tablet PC breaks cover

Ewdison Then, Aug 24th 2008 Discuss [0]

The 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. Looking unsurprisingly similar to the ThinkPad X61t it replaces, the convertible notebook has a pen-enabled touchscreen and seems to continue the traditional "built like a tank" design ethos.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200t Tablet PC hits FCC: UWB confirmed

Chris Davies, Aug 22nd 2008 Discuss [0]

Lenovo's upcoming ThinkPad X200t, the Tablet PC version of the ThinkPad X200 ultraportable, has shown up on the FCC website. Although the report is merely certifying the notebook, not testing it - and as such lacks any of the low-res photos we've come to love the FCC for - it does confirm that the Tablet PC is in the pipeline and that it will have integrated UWB.

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Ultraportable: Hands-On

Chris Davies, Aug 12th 2008 Discuss [2]

We 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’

Chris Davies, Jul 31st 2008 Discuss [0]

The 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. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Jul 15th 2008 Discuss [0]

It's not all glib home users who are in line for some new Lenovo fun; business users may be slightly more predictable in their usage, but that doesn't mean they're satisfied with last year's ThinkPad. The new SL-series of SMB notebooks - the SL300, SL400 and SL500 - all have an options list weighed under with choices such as mobile broadband, Blu-ray and more. Read The Full Story

Lenovo X300 ultraportable uses Samsung SATA II Solid State Drive

Chris Davies, Mar 4th 2008 Discuss [3]

Lenovo's much-vaunted ThinkPad X300 is being hailed in some circles as the ultraportable to oust the MacBook Air, and a major chunk of its charm is the use of a Solid State Drive (SSD) rather than a traditional drive that can be subject to knocks and jolts. Samsung provided the SATA II SSD used, with the specific model capable of 100 MB/s read rates and 80 MB/s write rates, despite using 30-percent less power than a typical platter-based drive.

Lenovo’s Thinkpad X300 dissected

Ewdison Then, Feb 18th 2008 Discuss [0]

I’m not a ThinkPad fanboy, but my experience with ThinkPad has been amazing. The X300 excites me and I’m planning to get one for myself. One lucky dude in LA was able to get a unit for himself. Like a true techie, rather than just using the laptop and brag about it, he went ahead and shares to the world on what’s underneath the X300. Read The Full Story

Ruggedized Lenovo PC

James Allan Brady, Oct 23rd 2007 Discuss [0]

So let’s say you work for Lenovo, and you write a piece about how your company (Lenovo) doesn’t currently offer a truly ruggedized PC and the next closest thing is the ThinkPad series. Then let’s say that you go to home base to do a presentation for a potential customer and on your way out you see exactly what you just wrote doesn’t exist. Would that make you angry, or would you just laugh? Me I’d laugh, but that actually happened to a guy, when he went to Beijing where the Innovation Center is. Read The Full Story

Dell Inspirons and IBM ThinkPads Gain Freedom From Wires

Now that wireless USB is a certified standard, people couldn’t wait to put it into something other than a USB device (kind of defeats the purpose, no?). Now it appears a couple of PC manufacturers have taken that leap. Read The Full Story
