In the past year, we tested the entry-level configuration - if you could call it that at a price of 1200 Euros. Now we are presented with the 1800 Euros expensive top model which, instead of using the Core i5 2520M, uses the fastest mobile dual-core CPU...

Last month we reviewed Samsung’s Series 9 ultraportable notebook and found that, while it offered an exceedingly svelte and fashionable form factor, there was a performance trade-off to all that stylishness. Lenovo’s 13-inch ThinkPad X1 represents a c...

Achieving smaller, thinner profiles is a long-standing goal of laptop manufacturers, but there’s been a particular obsession with ultra-thin laptops ever since Apple introduced the MacBook Air by taking it out of a manila envelope. Since then, tabl...
Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 is an incredible piece of hardware with few flaws. Glossy display aside, the user interface and material choices of the X1 make it a deserving receipt of the ThinkPad badge. The X1 is a serious laptop for people who need to do serious...

The X1 keeps much of what we all love about ThinkPads, including the comfortable and functional keyboard, a TrackPoint (aka “the red nub”), lack of bloatware loaded on top of Windows, and solid build quality. Beyond that, the X1 is a major departure...

The new Thindpad X1 is a formidable system; it's generally being billed as Lenovo's champion of choice vs. the Macbook Air. That comparison makes sense based on the Air's visibility, but the X1 is set to compete across the entire spectrum, including ne...

The X1's performance is excellent. The system proved itself handily against both the Lenovo U260 and X120e. Its 320GB HDD performed quite well, though an SSD option would be icing on the cake. Either way, the X1 is a svelte system that offers higher...
