Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Ultraportable Notebook Review
August 26th, 2008
HotHardware.com has posted their take on Lenovo’s new ultraportable baby, the X200. Here is a quote:”It is obvious from its feature list that the X200 isn’t quite as advanced, in terms of its mechanical design, as the X300. Despite being of similar weight and size as the X300, the X200 doesn’t have an internal optical drive, nor is it as thin and it doesn’t even have a touchpad. It also sports a 12.1” screen like the X61, rather than the 13.3” LCD that the X300 is equipped with. However, the X200 isn’t lacking in its base hardware specification, that’s for sure. It incorporates all of the same communications, networking and connectivity options and features as the X300. In addition, it’s also built on Intel’s new Centrino 2 platform which offers support for the new Penryn-based Core 2 Duo mobile processor. The X200 is available with the Penryn P8000 series, which is an upgrade of the original Merom mobile Core 2 Duo processors and it offers 3MB L2 cache, a 1066MHz FSB, front-side bus throttling, and the SSE4 instruction set. Most impressive of all, it has a TDP of only 25W, 10W lower than Merom, despite packing more features and higher frequencies.” Hot Harware found the X200 to be an excellent value with excellent built quality. The X200 had great processor performance with a great battery life. The unit had good connectivity and plenty of features. On the dislike side of the fence they poo poo’d the lack of a touchpad and no built-in optical drive. Read: Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Ultraportable Notebook
