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...
Abstract: 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...
Compact case & craftsmanship, Variety of ports, Ways to connect to internet, Comfortable keyboard & touchpad, Backlit keyboard, Bright, evenly lit screen, Good multimedia performance, Speedy hard drive, 36-month warranty
No docking port, Reflective screen, Low contrast / high black level, Fan almost always on, High case temp under heavy use, Poor quality speakers, Relatively short battery life
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is the thinnest of the ThinkPad line and aims to retain the performance power associated with the series, but it doesn't quite fully accomplish this feat. The sturdy matte black case, the variety of ports as well as the input device...
Great Performance, Solid Construction, Genuinely Useful Value-Added Software, Good External Speakers
Weak Battery Life w/o 2nd Battery, Heavier Than Most Ultra-Portables, Disappointing Display Panel Given Price
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 ...

There's a lot to love about the ThinkPad X1, even if it isn't quite thin or light enough to rightly join the ranks of Macbook Air competitors. It looks and feels great, is a joy to work on, boots fast and remains responsive even when multitasking and ...
Very solid construction, Thin and relatively light
poor battery life, glossy screen

Abstract: Known for its straightforward business laptops, Lenovo is adding a touch of style with its new ThinkPad X1. The ultrathin laptop will be available May 24th for a starting price of $1,399. With a 13.2 x 9.0-in. footprint, the ThinkPad X1's jet black cas...
Abstract: The X1 13.3-inch laptop is in many ways Lenovo’s response to the MacBook Air. However, the heavier, angular and much more capable X1 should be considered on its own merits for business users who want a durable, sleek and portable system. The Lenovo bus...
