Lenovo ThinkPad X61s Ultraportable Notebook Review

new Lenovo ThinkPad X61s
Lenovo one of the well-known notebook maker has announced the launch of its new notebook namely, Lenovo ThinkPad X61s. The ThinkPad X61s ultraportable continues the trend of solidly built ultraportable notebooks that are great for travelers. It still lives in the past though by having the optical drive external to the unit adding weight for those requiring it while traveling. This makes it a great choice for business travelers who need a reliable notebook, but less than perfect for consumers who want an internal drive.Lenovo ThinkPad X61s

Lenovo ThinkPad X61s Notebook Specification :
  • Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 Low Voltage Mobile Processor
  • Two Gigabyte PC2-5300 DDR2 Memory
  • 100GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive
  • External 8x DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Burner
  • 12.1" XGA (1024x768) LED Backlit Display With Intel GMA X3100 Integrated Graphics
  • v.92 56Kbps Modem, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11a/b/g Wireless, Bluetooth 2.0
  • Verizon Cellular WAN Modem
  • Three USB 2.0, One FireWire, Type II PC Card, SD Slot, Fingerprint Scanner
  • 10.6" x 9.4" x 1.4" @ 3.6 lbs.
  • Vista Ultimate, ThinkVantage Suite, Norton Internet Security

9/10/07 – Most notebook computers have switched over to the widescreen display formats, but Lenovo sticks to the more traditional 4:3 screen layout. This really comes from the business focus of the ThinkPad line of notebooks. The ultraportable X61s however provides one of the most solid notebooks on the market thanks to the new chassis design.

Even with the new chassis design, Lenovo continues to use their exceptional keyboards. This has always been one of the best keyboards for a notebook design. They have a great feel and are comfortable to use for hours on end. This has been problematic for many ultraportable systems that sacrifice the keyboard layout and size in order to make the system more compact.

Performance is a key component to the ThinkPad X61s notebooks. Lenovo chose to use the Intel Core 2 Duo L7500 low voltage mobile processor. This gives it strong performance with some power savings, but not as much if they had chosen to use the ultra-low voltage version of the processor. Thankfully, two full gigabytes of PC2-5300 DDR2 memory is included making it run smoothly with the Vista Ultimate operating system packaged with it.

One of the big drawbacks to all this design though is the continued focus as it being a business computer. Most ultraportables now integrated the optical drives into the chassis. Lenovo has decided to leave their X series in tradition by featuring an external USB based DVD burner. Sure, this gives the functionality, but it adds extra weight to the overall package when traveling. This holds back what would otherwise be a superb ultraportable.

Lenovo Ideapad U300s"U3s" / 12.5-inch Ultrabook review

Intel may have launched the Ultrabook platform using a demo ASUS UX21, but it isn’t just Ultrabook at Computex this week. Lenovo IdeaPad U300s/U3s had introduced along, a slim design Sandy Bridge ultraportable the style of the IdeaPad U260. The first copy presented ASUS UX21, now accompanied by a substantial army ultrabook.

Amongst other things, a number of which have been explained in preceding reviews since the LG P220, the brand new versions boast the Lenovo IdeaPad U300s (or U3S). Even though nonetheless preserving the design choice of Lenovo IdeaPad U260s, launched at CES 2010 IdeaPad U300s underwent main modifications. Chinese corporation has greatly diminished the thickness of your laptop, with additional assertive and sharp lines, so getting back again to total rights within the category ultrabook.

Hardware specs are certainly not regarded at this time, such as the release date and cost, even though, obviously, Intel has said that Ultrabook will come in under the $ 1,000 mark. We’re guessing all around 12.5-inch display, according for the U260, and maybe Core i3 processor.

There was no sign of U300s on the provider internet site nonetheless.Lenovo Ideapad U300sNow we don’t know the remainder of the technical devices, price and availability date, but we feel that within the coming weeks we are going to add details.[www.notebookscorner.com]

HP ProBook 5330m / 13.3 inch Laptop review

HP ProBook 5330m / 13.3 inch Laptop review
The HP Probook 5330m is designed for the up and coming businessman (or woman) , its trendy design makes it stand out from the crowd of business laptops. With the P robooks’ 13.3 inch screen and dual tone aliminium chassis and backlit keyboard (seldom found in business laptops)v you will never have to feel that your business laptop is something that should be used but not seen. The Probook has many of the same design elements as the EliteBook.For the security conscious the HP Probook5330m offers the additional security of a fingerprint reader.For those interested in multimedia features, the Probook also offers Beats audio technology which makes conference calling possible as well and allows listeners to hear music crystal clear as well as a webcam and a media card slot .

The HP Probook 5330m also has something called HP Datapass, this is a pay as you go wireless solution coined by HP With HP Datapass you can buy bandwidth directly from HP, without having to subscribe to a contract. The pricing for data on HP datapass is below, as you will see the prices are a bit steep, but in exchange you get a no strings attached data deal and the preloaded DataPass software will also give you an exact reading of how much Data you’ve used.

Design

With its two-tone aluminum design, the HP ProBook 5330m carries the look and feel of HP's EliteBook premium business systems, but it hews closer to the more budget-minded ProBook S series. The matte aluminum lid is adorned with a classy HP logo while the deck and sides continue the metallic aesthetic. A smooth, soft-touch bottom completes the stylish chassis.

Unfortunately, all that metal isn't very light. At 4 pounds and 12.9 x 8.9 x 1 inches, the HP ProBook 5330m is quite a bit heavier than competitors such as the Toshiba Portege R835 (3.2 pounds, 12.4 x 8.9 x 0.7 inches) and the ThinkPad Edge E220s (3.2 pounds, 12.3 x 8.4 x 0.85 inches).

Heat

The HP ProBook 5330m stayed reasonably cool throughout our tests. After streaming a Hulu video at full screen for 15 minutes, we measured the touchpad at a reasonable 90 degrees, the keyboard at a cool 85 degrees, and the underside a modest 94 degrees Fahrenheit. We consider temperatures below 95 degrees comfortable.HP ProBook 5330m / 13.3 inch Laptop reviewKeyboard and Touchpad

At first glance, the HP ProBook 5330m's keyboard looks like a good one, with large backlit keys and a deep palm rest to place your wrists on. However, in practice, we found the keys somewhat slippery and stiff. We also noticed some flex on the layout. As a result, we scored just 75 words per minute with a three-percent error rate on the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, worse than our typical 80-wpm, one-percent error rate score.

In our tests, the HP ProBook 5330m's 3.3 x 1.6-inch touchpad provided very smooth and accurate navigation around the desktop without any jumpiness. Multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom were also smooth, and we appreciated the strong tactile feedback from the two discrete mouse buttons.

Display and Audio

The 13.3-inch 1366 x 768 matte display on the ProBook 5330m provides bright colors and sharp images with solid viewing angles of up to 45 degrees to the left or right and no reflections at all. The combination of the 2.5-GHz Core i5-2520M and Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU proved more than enough to play even full HD videos with great clarity and accuracy. Whether we were streaming a 720p episode of Fringe from Fox.com or playing a 1080p Quicktime trailer for Shark Night 3D, motion was smooth and images were clear.

With the help of Beats Audio technology, the HP ProBook 5330m delivers a high-quality music experience. When we listened to Patrice Rushen's bass-heavy "Forget Me Nots," Motley Crue's guitar-laden "Too Young to Fall in Love" and Kool and the Gang's jazz classic "Summer Madness," sound was highly accurate, if not overly rich. We also appreciated the Beats Audio control panel, which let us choose different equalizer profiles for different types of music such as dance, jazz, and rock.

Ports and Webcam

The HP ProBook 5330m has a standard set of ports with no surprises. On the right side are a headphone jack, two USB 2.0 ports, and an Ethernet jack. On the right are a Kensington lock slot, VGA out, HDMI out, an SD card reader, and a USB/ eSATA port for a total of three USB ports overall. We wish HP provided at least one USB 3.0 port for higher speed connections, but most notebooks still lack this next-gen connection.HP ProBook 5330m / 13.3 inch Laptop reviewThe 720p webcam on the HP ProBook 5330m provided sharp images and great low-light performance. Even in our extremely dim living room, the fine details of our face were visible on a Skype call (the camera is not Skype HD-certified). However, with the overhead fluorescent light in our office cubicle, our face looked a bit darker.[www.laptopmag.com]

While the Edge E220s’s dark color, ThinkPad logo, and red trackpoint all whisper “ThinkPad,” its rubberized chassis and chrome bumpers scream “jet set.” We particularly like the Edge E220′s color, which appears black in dark light, but is actually a very dark pool-table green when viewed in bright light. A red light sits above the letter “I” in “ThinkPad” and blinks when the system is in sleep mode, while the clean, smooth bottom makes the Edge E220s look almost as attractive when it’s upside-down. The edge-to-edge “infinity glass” that covers the screen adds another high-end design element to the mix. The Edge E220′s only design downside is that its surfaces pick up fingerprints far too easily.Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220S 12.5-inch laptop reviewKeyboard and Touchpad
The island-style, spill-resistant keyboard on the ThinkPad Edge E220s has three important things going for it: powerful tactile feedback, curved keys that help you avoid errant strokes, and a comfortable, soft palm rest. Thanks to these ingredients, we achieved a strong score of 86 words per minute on the Ten Thumbs Typing Test, better than our typical 80 wpm score.Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220S 12.5-inch laptop reviewLike all ThinkPads, the Edge E220s has a bright red TrackPoint pointing stick in between its G and H keys. The stick provides the most accurate navigation of any built-in notebook pointing device.

For those who don’t like pointing sticks, the 2.9 x 1.9-inch touchpad on the Edge E220s provides smooth, precise navigation around the desktop. Better still, multitouch gestures such as pinch-to-zoom are smooth. Rather than offering discrete buttons, the left and right buttons are built into the pad itself.

To improve the audio performance of Lenovo using Dolby Home Theater technology v4, the music sounded quite loud on the built-in speakers with Dolby activate the software, but when turned off making music sound really flat.

Display and Audio
Whether We Were a 720p streaming episodes of Fringe from Fox.com or playing a 1080p QuickTime trailers of Priest, the 12.5-inch, 1366 x 768 glossy screen provided sharp, bright images, though colors seemed a bit dull. Unfortunately, the 200-nit screen and its “infinity glass” are so reflective coating That left and right viewing Angles are poor. With a light source behind us and the screen at full brightness, video washed out significantly at Angles event Less than 45 degrees.

Lenovo v4 uses Dolby Home Theater technology to boost the ThinkPad Edge E220s’s audio performance, but even with the Dolby software enabled and set to the music listening profile, was Quite Tinny sound on the built-in speakers. Whether We Were listening to a jazz standard Such as Kool and the Gang’s “Summer Madness,” Motley Crue’s “Too Young to Fall in Love,” or Sade’s “Smooth Operator,” percussion sounds distorted and unpleasant were the resource persons. Disabling the Dolby software made ​​the music sound completely flat and dropped its volume to Nearly inaudible levels.

Performance
With I5-2537M processor 1.4-GHz, 4GB RAM, and Intel HD graphics, the ThinkPad Edge E220s offers solid performance good enough for business applications or to play movies full HD.On PCMark Vantage, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall system speed, the ThinkPad E220s scored a strong 5,886, well above the ultraportable category average of 4,185 and the 1.3-GHz Core i5-powered Dell Vostro V130 (4,246). However, the 2.3-GHz Core i5-powered Toshiba Portege R835 (6,115) and the Core i7-powered ThinkPad X220 (7,719) fared better.

The E220s’ 320GB 7,200-rpm hard drive booted into Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) in a reasonable 62 seconds, on a par with the 61-second category average. The drive took a reasonable 2 minutes and 49 seconds to complete the LAPTOP File Transfer Test, which involves transferring 4.97 GB of files. That’s a rate of 30.1 MBps, roughly equivalent to the 32.6 MBps category average.

The ThinkPad Edge E220′s Intel WiFi Link 1000 802.11n radio provided modest transfer rates of 24.4 and 16.6 Mbps at distances of 15 and 50 feet from our router. That’s a bit below the category averages of 33.5 / 19.8 Mbps, but faster than the 20.6 / 8.6 Mbps offered by the Toshiba Portege R835 and about on par with the Dell Vostro V130′s 25.

The ThinkPad Edge E220s is more than powerful enough to transcode video quickly. It took just 1 minute and 1 second to convert a 114MB MP4 file to AVI, using Oxelon Media Encoder; that’s 49 seconds faster than the category average and much faster than the Dell Vostro V130′s 1:26 time, but still a shade slower than the Portege R835. When we used Cyberlink Media Espresso to transcode an HD video, the Edge E220s took just 41 seconds, more than 2 minutes quicker than the 2:47 category average, but a little slower than the 28 seconds offered by the Portege R835.

Battery Life
With its built-in, sealed battery, the ThinkPad Edge E220s lasted a mediocre 4 hours and 55 minutes on the LAPTOP battery test, an hour less than the 6:01 ultraportable category average. That time was still better than the Dell Vostro V130′s lame 2:45 of endurance, but it pales in comparison to the Toshiba Portege R835′s 6:22 and the ThinkPad X220′s epic battery life, which ranges from 7:51 with a six-cell battery to more than 20 hours with a nine-cell battery and optional slice.

Lenovo ThinkPad X61 / 12.1-inch Laptop Review

Lenovo ThinkPad X61/12.1-inch Laptop Review
The Lenovo ThinkPad X61 lets you have it both ways. On its own, it's a 3.5-pound ultraportable that's easy to slip in a bag and have at the ready. If you need an optical drive and more ports, snap on the 1.4-pound X6 UltraBase, and you have a full-featured mainstream notebook. Either way, the X61 makes for a powerful business machine, and its $1,775 price in our tested configuration is reasonable given its performance and feature set.

Lenovo has resisted changing the ThinkPad's familiar matte-black finish, even while the rest of the portable world has moved to glossy skins. But now we're seeing the pendulum swing back in favor of the smudge- and scuff-resistant matte look (witness the new offerings from Acer and Gateway), so maybe Lenovo was onto something. The X61 is compact, feels solid in the hand, and is very comfortable to carry.

Open the lid, and you'll expose a fairly roomy keyboard. The letter keys are full-size and have the familiar, excellent ThinkPad feel. The only concession made to the machine's small size is the truncated size of the ancillary keys (Shift, Enter, and so on). We're happy to see Lenovo even managed to find room for dedicated volume and mute buttons. Touch-pad fans will be disappointed to see only a pointing stick (larger business notebooks these days incorporate both), but the TrackPoint is the best stick on the market, and its companion mouse buttons are comfortable and quiet.

The 12.1-inch matte-finish display has a 4-to-3 aspect ratio, giving it a decidedly old-school feel given today's glossy wide-screen models, but for a business portable it's still the right choice. The finish eliminates glare under typical office lighting, and the vaguely square shape affords more usable height to the screen, rather than extra width (which usually goes unused except for movie-watching). The 1,024x768 native resolution delivers crisp text, bright images, and fine-looking DVD playback with just the usual amount of motion blur (though the screen's matte coating does lend a bit of a soft-focus look).

Our test unit came loaded with almost every feature a business user and IT manager could want. Security is handled by the embedded Trusted Platform Module (TPM) circuitry, a fingerprint reader on the keyboard deck, and Lenovo's preloaded Client Security Solution software. Lenovo also thought about durability when designing the X61 (essential for a road-going ultraportable), including a spill-resistant keyboard and an active protection system for the shock-mounted hard drive, which automatically parks the drive heads if the embedded accelerometer senses the machine is falling.

In addition to the integrated Intel 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi connectivity, you'll also find embedded wireless broadband (using Verizon's EV-DO service) for accessing the Web at near-DSL speeds in the hundreds of metropolitan markets where service is available. The X61 has a good selection of ports and I/O, including a VGA port, three USB ports, FireWire, a PC Card slot, and a flash-memory-card reader. Unfortunately, to hit the size and weight constraints, Lenovo had to move the optical drive to the X6 UltraBase that snaps onto the bottom of the laptop. In addition to the drive of your choice (our unit came with a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive)—or an extra battery in that slot—the UltraBase delivers all the ports that are on the main unit, plus legacy ports such as parallel and serial.

Key Specs

Processor: 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7300
Memory: 2GB DDR2
Storage: 100GB hard drive
Optical Drives: DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo (in X6 UltraBase dock)
Display: 12.1-inch TFT
Graphics: Integrated Intel 965
Operating System: Windows Vista Business

Battery life from the extended eight-cell battery was acceptable, if not stellar: The machine lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes on our DVD rundown test, which should translate to over three hours in normal use. And that's bypassing Lenovo's advanced power-management scheme, called BatteryStretch. This new feature (found in Power Manager), lets you eke out a few more minutes of work time when no AC outlet is available by minimizing the display's refresh rate, disabling wireless communications devices, and so on.

The most unexpected feature, though, is the X61's performance. Most ultraportables make do with a speed-constrained ultra-low-voltage CPU. Not the X61: It came with an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 running at 2GHz. That, combined with the 2GB of RAM and 7,200rpm 100GB hard drive, gives the X61 very good performance for its class. It scored a respectable 4,000 on Futuremark's PCMark05 test, and it even handled multimedia tasks reasonably well, needing 5 minutes and 15 seconds to finish our iTunes conversion test, and 7 minutes and 50 seconds for our Windows Media Encoder trial. In terms of performance, the X61's integrated Intel 965 graphics chip is the only thing holding it back. The machine scored a low 548 on Futuremark's 3DMark06 test; we didn't even bother running gaming tests once we saw that score.

But that's still (just) enough to run the Aero interface effects of the included Windows Vista Business operating system. And IT managers will be happy to see Lenovo kept other software—and the trialware clutter we're used to seeing on systems these days—to a minimum.

The X60 Tablet has undergone some changes in the exterior design of the latest ThinkPad X41 Tablet (X41t).

Lenovo ThinkPad X60s / 12.1-inch Laptop Review
The main differences between the outside and X41t X60t are:
  • The X60t is slightly thicker than the past X41t - the X60t is 1.30 “at its thickest point while the X41t was a thin 1.26.” The greatest resistance comes from having a larger unit and faster 2.5-inch drives on the X60t, so I think everyone will agree, is worth the commitment.
  • Currently there are 3 USB 2.0 ports instead of two in the X41t.
  • The X60t now has a FireWire port, the X41t did not
  • Added to the front of the X60t is a switch on / off wireless
  • The X60t weighs 3.77 pounds with a 4-cell battery and 4.23 pounds with the 8 cell. The X41t weighed 3.5 pounds / 4.0 pounds, respectively, no weight gain here
  • The X60t has NavDial is a key to the multi-direction, while in tablet mode is improved page up / down on the X41t
  • XGA or SXGA display is offered with the X60t, you can also have a pen / finger touch screen with XGA resolution. A new feature called ActiveRotate also improves the screen functionality on the X41t X60t.
  • button color and shapes have changed in the keyboard area, for example, now there are bands of red buttons and smooth power button is silver not black.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC - November 14, 2006 - Lenovo today announced the ThinkPad X60 Tablet PC is a new generation convertible tablet technology trifecta for innovation, portability and performance - in turn with two new screen choices and other innovative features Lenovo, as Active. Lenovo is the manufacturer of PCs for category screen 12-inch laptops offer the new, next MultiView / MultiTouch screen features in a convertible Tablet PC, giving users the computing power to work, of course, the field or in the office.

Of course, the X60 Tablet PC, the ability to touch-screen LCD in both laptop mode and tablet mode complete. Wacom Power Touch This feature is a place where most if not all competitors enter. The X60 is the almost perfect handwriting recognition based on pen control very well, and if the included stylus is lost, the X60 can be used with a finger or a PDA stylus.


The buttons on the Tablet PC

When in tablet mode, which are obviously not have access to the keyboard and there are certain characteristics that are difficult to perform, so Lenovo has a couple of shortcut buttons located on the side to help. Here is a list of what you get:
  • Move your finger on the biometric security features
  • Navigation Dial to scroll up and down and sideways. The best is when you turn the navigation screen scroll wheel is smart enough to know that the “new up” is so pressing, it is always you.
  • Shortcut button for Esc key
  • Shortcut button to open Tablet shortcut menu of things like adjust the screen brightness, volume and connection manager.
  • Button to manually rotate the screen to the right
  • shortcut button, which is the same as holding “Ctrl Alt Del to open Task Manager, you can close applications (purchase or use of processor) strength. Type a sad statement that there had been real. But Is Windows and programs crash.
  • Power button to lock or unlock to prevent a blow-and-off.



Battery

Lenovo ThinkPad X60s / 12.1-inch Laptop ReviewAccording to the website of the IBM X60 to 7.5 hours of battery life. With the optional 8-cell lithium ion. The standard 4-cell battery that constantly receives half the battery life - just under 4 hours. Naturally, the evaluations of the battery manufacturer is often higher than the real world. If you are a road warrior, the handle is missing in their reports throughout the duration of cross-country flight requirements, then the 8-cell lenovo thinkpad x60 tablet battery is your best bet. 8-cell battery weighs a pound.

The battery of a notebook is for me the most important factor of all. With the two X60 tablets review, we have both and 4-8 cell battery available. The battery sticks out of 8 cells in the back of the computer for about an inch and adds an additional 0.5 pounds. But the rate of 8 cells that better quality of life.

In my application, I could get about 5 hours of battery life with 8 cell battery. intermittently with screen brightness at level 3, wi-fi and the X60t. Note that this is requested 7.5 hours of autonomy. If the screen is dark, turn off all radios and had a slower Core Solo processor (but easy on the battery) 4200rpm hard drive, you could probably get 7 hours of battery time of the X60t. Do not expect this time 7.5 times cited in a real use, however. That said, I was very excited to get so close to 5 hours of battery life I do. 4-cell battery at temperatures between 2.5 to 3 hours in my use of Wi-Fi when you shut down and an average brightness of the screen.

The dilemma, you have to do is select the batteries, 8 cell, which keeps you informed about 4 pounds which is much more difficult to use in Tablet PC mode for long periods of time when you are standing - it hurts arm. 4-cell battery makes the X60t much more portable and easy to hold in tablet mode.

Lenovo ThinkPad T61 / 14.1-inch LaptopsReviews

You can't tell by looking at the familiar squared-off matte-black chassis, but the Lenovo ThinkPad T61 delivers dozens of subtle improvements that make it the widescreen machine to beat among thin-and-light business notebooks. This 5.2-pound classic isn't perfect, but it's darn close.

Design

Behind the 14.1-inch screen, Lenovo has added a magnesium-alloy inner shell to better protect the display, similar to the internal rollcage added to the bottom of the chassis a few years ago. Lenovo claims that the screen is now 25 percent more resistant to breakage than previous models.

The 1440 x 900-pixel widescreen was plenty bright and delivered crisp, vibrant images. Default font sizes are on the small side, but the higher resolution works well with Vista's sidebar widgets. The matte screen cuts down on glare and doesn't cause as much blurring as other matte finishes we've seen (think of it more as a satin finish). Viewing angles are fine side to side, but the screen washes out when viewed from above.

The keyboard is as comfortable as ever, and we're happy to see both the TrackPoint pointing stick, with a central scroll toggle between the mouse buttons, and a touchpad with its own buttons. The white LED ThinkLight above the screen sheds just enough light on the keys in a darkened room, and the handy volume and mute buttons sit above the keyboard's function keys. The touchpad is a bit on the small side (to accommodate the TrackPoint's mouse buttons). Volume from the T61's speakers is good enough for private listening but is barely adequate for use in a presentation.

The T61 delivers all the typical ports, including FireWire and both PC Card and ExpressCard slots, but there's still no memory card reader. As for security, this notebook offers a fingerprint reader for use with the standard TPM circuitry. And security-conscious businesses will appreciate the ability to disable the I/O ports in the BIOS to prevent data from being off-loaded.

Lenovo Thinkpad X100e Netbooks Review

Lenovo Thinkpad X100e Netbooks Review
Lenovo’s ThinkPad range has a new baby brother, and while the company is now several generations through its IdeaPad netbooks, the ThinkPad X100e is the first CULV-style machine intended for mobile pros. It’s an ambitious undertaking, certainly: can the company deliver the traditional build-quality, reliability and performance expected from a ThinkPad, along with the low price expected for an 11.6-inch ultraportable? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

While Lenovo will eventually offer dual-core processors, our review unit came with a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU, paired with 2GB of RAM and a 160GB 5,400rpm hard-drive. Graphics are courtesy of an ATI Radeon HD3200 chipset, and the battery is a 6-cell 2,600mAh pack Lenovo rate for up to 5hrs runtime. Connectivity includes WiFi b/g/n (Bluetooth is a $20 option, not present on our unit), three USB 2.0 ports (one of which is powered), VGA, a combo mic/headphone socket and gigabit ethernet.

The ThinkPad X100e’s display is an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 HD Ready panel, LED backlit, and with a webcam above. In terms of appearance, the ThinkPad heritage is obvious; it’s an angular, squared off notebook, and the traditional red TrackPoint nubbin nestles among an isolated key “chiclet” keyboard, in addition to a multitouch-capable trackpad and two sets of mouse buttons.

Considering how well-esteemed ThinkPad keyboards are, happily the X100e delivers in terms of usability. Key feel and response is some of the best we’ve experienced on an ultraportable of this size, and belies the X100e’s “budget” segment positioning. Unlike some of Lenovo’s other recent models, however, it seems there hasn’t been the space for keyboard layout tinkering; the commonly-used keys, such as Delete, are the same size as their infrequently-tapped neighbours. As for the screen, we’re fans of the matte finish which banished frustrating reflections, and even makes the X100e suitable for outdoors use (though particularly bright days will still wash out the 200 nit backlight).

Unfortunately, building to a price rears its head when it comes to overall build quality, and the X100e is noticeably lacking in comparison to other ThinkPad ultraportables. To be fair, it’s probably better made than other CULV notebooks out there, but then again some of those start $100-$150 less than the Lenovo does. It’s also not a quiet machine, with the fan particularly loud and, even when it’s been running for some time, the X100e still hot to the touch.

Real-world performance is competitive in comparison to Intel’s Atom counterpart paired with integrated graphics, which is to say it’ll multitask with several browser tabs, media playing and email, but you wouldn’t want to consider anything as serious as video processing or heavy-duty image editing. Similarly gaming is out of the question, unless your ambitions are particularly low.

We ran Geekbench, which tests processor and memory performance, and the ThinkPad X100e scored 737 (see update below) 1192 overall. That’s actually over a hundred points less than an Atom N270 based netbook with 1GB of RAM. What is disappointing, however, has been battery performance. While Lenovo rate their 6-cell battery for around 5hrs runtime, in practice we found that average use drained the X100e in around 3hrs. We didn’t have access to the optional 3-cell battery (2,200mAh) which is rated for 2hrs, but we can’t imagine it being of use to anyone but the most desk-bound of users, to whom “mobile” is moving their laptop between the office and the boardroom.

Update: Having compared the X100e’s Geekbench scores with other MV-40 systems, we suspected something was causing this machine to underperform. Sure enough, when we updated the existing BIOS (v1.04) to the latest available version (v1.10) and retested, the ThinkPad X100e scored a far healthier 1196. The stock BIOS had dragged down scores in all four of the performance categories Geekbench tests for; meanwhile battery performance has also increased slightly, up to 3.5hrs on average. The moral of the story is to make sure your computer is up to date with its drivers, as these can significantly affect performance. We’ve updated our conclusion accordingly.

At the start we wondered whether a comparatively budget notebook could deliver not only sufficient power for a mobile professional but tick all the boxes we’ve come to expect from ThinkPads. With the updated BIOS, the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e puts in a significantly stronger showing than regular Intel Atom netbooks, overshadowed only by middling battery longevity. Faster dual-core processors should increase performance even more, but we’ll have to wait and see what damage they might do to to runtimes. As for this particular SKU, for those users who prioritize text-entry above all else the X100e’s keyboard is significantly better than many other 11.6-inch models on the market, and it’s paired with speed sufficient for everyday tasks. Road warriors spending long periods away from an AC point should look elsewhere, but the ThinkPad X100e still puts in a decent showing.

Dell Latitude E6410 / 14,1-inch Notebook Review

Dell Latitude E6410 / 14,1-inch Notebook Review
With strict security system, this notebook can protect data in it with adhesive. First saw this notebook, we got confused myself. Because the appearance Dell Latitude E6410 is a lot like Lenovo's Thinkpad notebooks. One of the most obvious is the existence of TrackStick which is one typical facility Thinkpad.

TrackStick facility consists of navigation buttons (trackpad) and two buttons to click left and right. Thanks to the trackpad, we can move the cursor with your index finger oscillation; much like we move the joystick. Although his intention ease, we were quite a pain. The reason our fingers easily slip when using a trackpad, so then we prefer to use a more familiar touchpad.

Similarities with Lenovo ThinkPad notebook is already indicated segmentation targeting business segment. It is also evident from the design of the box and tend to be conservative. What's interesting is this notebook uses TriMetal Chassis technology, which combines aluminum, magnesium, and a layer of steel in various parts of this notebook. This combination makes the Latitude E6410 feels solid. It took considerable pressure on the back of the notebook to give effect to the screen. However, these materials have consequences on the weight of this notebook which reached 2.27 kg.

To support its performance as a business notebook, the notebook will find a lot of security features in this notebook, both ordinary and "extraordinary". The usual is a fingerprint reader, sensors that will read your fingerprint. What is remarkable is the SmartCard Reader. For your information, SmartCard is an identity card with a special integrated circuit, much like an ATM card. With these facilities, you must insert a special smartcard for access to this notebook.In addition to security, other facilities provided for U.S. $ 1,580 notebook is also complete. Express Card facility that has been left out of other notebooks, available in this notebook. You'll also find high-speed connectors in self FireWire and eSATA.

But there is one that interests us, namely DisplayPort which is on the back of this notebook. DisplayPort is the video connection as well as audio which is projected to replace VGA and DVI. But in its development, prestige is less than the HDMI DisplayPort. This can be seen from the use of the HDMI standard in various television and monitors. It was exactly what explains why notebook during almost all provide facilities HDMI and DisplayPort instead.

Because that's somewhat surprising why Dell would prefer DisplayPort over HDMI. So if you want to connect your notebook to an external display device, you should look for TV / monitor that provides the plug-which according to our knowledge is limited choice.The notebook itself relies on an Intel Core i5 520M (2.4 GHz) assisted DDR3-667 memory capacity of 4GB. This combination can produce a responsive and reliable performance are used for office applications. Unfortunately, good performance is only supported hard disk capacity is "only" 250GB notebook-class is small for a premium like this latitude E6410.
