Clerical small. According to Lenovo, it is the introduction of a laptop that is to save time and money with ThinkPad L420. We L420 ThinkPad with an Intel Core i5-2520m with its processor speed.

Lenovo offers a low-cost access to industry on 14-inch ThinkPad notebooks L420. The ThinkPad L420 is already available for € 664 in the smallest configuration. We took a look at the version a little stronger at € 899. In addition to a faster processor and more memory capacity, our model has a UMTS module. The model configuration is only low UMTS loan. As appropriate for a ThinkPad, L420 obviously has a matte screen.

As expected, stringent requirements are placed on a ThinkPad ThinkPad Lenovo have there is a very good reputation in business. We cons-examine the budget ThinkPad L420 thoroughly and see how it fares.ces.

Case
The Lenovo L420 was fitted in the case of the normal custom ThinkPad. The case of angular surfaces Matt make a strong impression and are not sensitive to fingerprints. We have seen in the case of L412 Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. The design is not fancy, but functional. Many users still see the design of the ThinkPad and the reference design for the office laptops.

Lenovo uses the cover design of light in the L420. However, the brackets that hold the lid closed are omitted. The screen is connected to the box with metal hinges. Depends in a very good print quality and high. Have also been adjusted so that the laptop can be easily opened with one hand. However, keeping the screen in place. Flashes do not just look at all.

The laptop is still very strong when it opens. Wherever we look, plastic mat is used everywhere. Rates laptop, as in our pressure testing. The wrist rests are as stable as the palm rest can get. They do not give an inch. The keyboard is not as stable as the other cases. However, such trivialities are not alone. You must apply great pressure on a key on the keyboard before it returns.

Connections
The Lenovo L420 has little to offer in terms of connectivity. Four USB ports are installed and the ports can be directed outward through the docking station. Unfortunately, Lenovo does not install all USB 3.0 ports. Instead, there is at least one port eSATA (combined with USB 2.0). Therefore, external hard drives can quickly connect to the laptop.

As usual, a VGA output is available for analog video output. However, Lenovo has also built a display port. If you do not have a screen or a projector with a DisplayPort interface, you will need to purchase an additional adapter.

In particular, we must remember the door to the left of the gate a critical investment. Mancini does not feel very comfortable and the network cable connected to an external monitor, if the external mouse is connected. You need to take a closer look for if you want to anchor a large extent prevents the cable mess on the table. They are the perfect solution to naturally clean up the desk.

Display
14-inch display with a resolution of 1366x768 pixels is used. Aspect ratio is so common these days, 16:9. Fortunately, Lenovo will be used without the display. So, nothing should prevent and outdoor use, if the brightness is sufficient.

According to our measurements, the brightness of 196.9 cd/m2 half. Compared to other laptops currently on the market, the L420 ThinkPad can not score here. Even the cheapest laptops can often take the course of 200 cd/m2. The backlight can also be a little more homogeneous. This is rather poor in the ThinkPad L420 with 83 percent. However, these differences in the brightness of the screen is not visible to the naked eye.

The display can not score its value in black and contrast that results, either. The value of 1.36 cd/m2 black is clearly too high. Normally the black values ​​of less than 1.0 cd/m2 be desirable. The contrast is also suffering because of the high black. Only in the ThinkPad L420 157:1 and also be called mediocre.

It should become clear later that Lenovo has not installed a special screen made of high quality. Lenovo L420 monitor can only reproduce a small part of the sRGB color space. The scope of laptop is absolutely no office and professional image editing.

Lenovo L420 Monitor by external use. Matt is in favor of showing the contents of readability. It also possible to identify something on the screen in direct sunlight. However, slightly higher than the brightness of the screen would be nice.

Viewing angles, unfortunately we can not be convinced. When you look at the front of laptop, you can even stand in front of the screen with various people and see the perfect image. However, falsifies the picture quickly when the screen is tilted up or down.

Performance
Lenovo team small 14-inch laptop with a Core processor i5-2520m high. After all, the processor is up to 2520m high-end dual-core Intel. 2520m processor is a member of the family and enjoy Sandy Bridge and past some improvements over the previous generation.

The processor has a clock of 2.5 GHz 2520m by default. It is possible that, like most other processors Sandy Bridge, be overclocked in two stages. The clock is up to 3.0 GHz memory when the two processor cores are subjected to the load. The clock even increases up to 3.2 GHz single-core load.

Therefore, the processor can provide enough energy a little more in the case of performance bottlenecks - if the laptop manufacturer and is planned to provide adequate cooling. The performance of the 2520m is still more than enough for most demanding tasks like HD video editing.

Processor speed is also contrary to the interests of a few slower quad core clock, until only 1-2 cores loaded quad-core processors. Intel Core i5 2520m graphics card with the system immediately.

Intel HD 3000 Graphics Card is an embedded processor, and to ensure that the image is displayed on the Lenovo L420 monitor. Intel 3000 graphics card is certainly not the fastest graphics solution, but it can certainly compete with some entry-level cards like the Nvidia GeForce 310M.

Although Lenovo L420 is likely to be used only in odd cases, parents play games do not have a problem with the display driver. A few newer games can be displayed without problems in low resolutions and low details (FIFA 11, etc..) Graphics card is really designed for fairly basic tasks in the office.

Cinebench is another program used for CPU performance evaluation of Lenovo L420. Lenovo L420 achieve a score of 4750.0 points Cinebench R10 rendering a (64 bit). Thus, it can be more or less up to our reference table. However, the character is rather new compared to other laptops that use Intel Core i5-2520m.

Lenovo L420 does not seem good for the Toshiba Tecra R840-11E (2520m HD Graphics, 3000) with 5135.0 points. HWInfo64 reported at frequencies up to 3.2 GHz for a short period until the beginning of the test. After this had been reduced to 2.8 GHz, so that the turbo could not take full advantage here. This would also explain the moderate results of this test.

Lenovo ThinkPad L420 can recover some ground again in Cinebench R10 rendering multi (64bit) reference. This could leave the last place, and the difference of the highest rated with a laptop i5-shrunk 2520m course. The laptop now manages L420 ThinkPad 10540.0 points. The top rated mobile 2520m is the Dell Vostro 3550 (Vostro 0112) (2520m, 6630M HD) with 10797.0 points.

We noticed a couple of special conditions during testing. It seems Turbo Boost will not work properly when the laptop is used without the battery, so the AC mode. The markers above were all made with the battery and power supply. Lenovo ThinkPad L420 only reached 1323.0 points in Cinebench R10 rendering unique reference (formerly 4750.0 points) and 2915.0 points in the multi-rendering (formerly 10540.0 points) without a battery.

A significant loss in performance is noticed here. Interestingly, the performance loss is not in the reverse scenario. The new processor delivers the power that comes with the adapter and the battery in battery mode.

In comparison, the Lenovo L420 L412 predecessor (330M, Intel GMA) reached 1923.0 points in Cinebench R10 single supply (64 bit) and 6537.0 points in Cinebench R10 rendering multi (64 bits). The ThinkPad L420 is the undisputed winner and could almost double its performance.

The ThinkPad L420 reached 6601.0 points in our benchmark system, PCMark Vantage. Thus, it is in the top third of our reference table. It is a little more than laptops Lenovo ThinkPad E420 Edge (2410M, 6630M HD) with 6556.0 points.

Discussed in detail, note could be even better, but the hard drive slows things down a bit. If you want your system to deal with something special, you may consider replacing the hard drive to a faster model, or an SSD.

The problem with the battery is noticed here. In PCMark Vantage benchmark score falls 6601.0 2977.0 points to points, while only using the adapter and the battery is removed.

Not much can be expected from the Intel HD 3000 Graphics. Yet we dare to compare. We used the results of Benchmark 3D Mark 06 (1280x1024) as the base. Lenovo L420 ThinkPad notebook is now at the bottom of our benchmark chart with 2528.0 points. The L420 is again ThinkPad marker back.

He is currently the slowest laptop with an Intel graphics card HD 3000 graphics. The laptop next fastest Lenovo ThinkPad L520 NWB53GE (2310M, HD 3000 Graphics) with 2999.0 points. For comparison: one of the best laptops with Intel graphic cards HD 3000 graphics is currently the Packard Bell EasyNote TS11-HR-040UK (2410M, HD 3000 Graphics) with 4607.0 points.

There is a difference very clear. Lenovo ThinkPad L420 can also turn on its predecessor with the graphics card. While the ThinkPad L420 reached 2528.0 points in 3DMark06, the ThinkPad L412 (330M, Intel GMA) only managed 1312.0 points.

One possible reason could be, as Cinebench single-processor tests, only a partial reversal of a load of bandwidth as the Turbo 2520m graphics card device can also be overclocked dynamically.

Otherwise, the battery is a problem seen in other regions was not observed in the benchmark chart. No matter if with or without the battery, prices have remained in the same area.

A 2.5-inch model Western Digital hard drive is used as the Lenovo ThinkPad L420. The WDC WD3200BEVT-08A23T1 has a capacity (gross) of 320 GB and a rotational speed of 5400 rpm per minute. The hard drive can not convince given rates.

Average transfer rate of 70.2 MB / s is mediocre at best and even the maximum transfer rate of 89.1 MB / s is not satisfactory. In exchange, the access time of 18.9 milliseconds is acceptable. If you want to put your system properly, Would you rather start with a Lenovo ThinkPad hard drive is L420.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T400s (the "s" could stand for "small," or maybe even "surprising") is an evolutionary step up from the ThinkPad T400, which is itself a good all-purpose business laptop. In fact, the T400s looks as if it were a T400 that someone had left in the dryer for too long. So how did Lenovo improve on a laptop that already offered a great balance of features? For starters, it slimmed down the profile (big time), beefed up the ports, and integrated GOBI (for Wireless WAN access).

The Lenovo ThinkPad X220-42963MU powered by second Generation Intel Core i7-2640M Dual-Core processor that runs at a clock speed of 2.8GHz and offers Turbo Boost Technology that increases its performance up to 3.5GHz, It has 4MB Smart Cache and 4GB PC3-10600 1333MHz DDR3 RAM that can be expanded up to 8GB, and integrated graphics card called Intel HD Graphics 3000 that is capable of playing High Definition movies with ease, and also equipped with High Definition Audio and Stereo Speakers, 4-in-1 Media Card Reader MMC, SD, SDHC, SDXC, Fingerprint Reader, Integrated 1.3MP Web Camera and 320GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive, and with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit operating system, and connectivity with 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN, Wireless WAN upgradeable, Bluetooth 3.0, 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN, 3 x USB 2.0, Audio/Mic Jack, VGA, and DisplayPort. It has a dimension of 12.0 (W) x 9.0 (D) x 1.1 - 1.23 (H) inches / 30.48 x 22.86 x 3.05 cm and weighs around 3.89 pounds / 1.80 kg. It has 6-cell Li-on Battery Pack that can give you up to 8 hours of battery life.

Build and Design
To the naked eye very little has changed with the overall design of the ThinkPad T410 compared to past models. It still carries the black rubberized screen lid with ThinkPad logo, still offers the shiny matte-black chassis and palmrest, and still uses the strong and highly visible stainless steel screen hinges. Those are the areas where the similarities stop. The port layout has significantly changed to allow an increase in available ports and even a few new types of connections. Once opened, ThinkPad fans will notice that Lenovo finally centered the screen, so no more thick bezel on one side and a thin bezel on the other. Another change is the shift from a two-piece palmrest and keyboard bezel on older models to one-piece design that is stronger and has fewer gaps to squeak. The bottom has also changed--with a user-access panel being the biggest addition--to let users install more RAM or a wireless card without tearing apart the notebook.

Build quality is a touchy subject for anyone familiar with the ThinkPad brand and how it has changed over the years. Any change to the sacred ThinkPad is seen as negative, even if it results in a stronger notebook. The good news is that overall the redesigned chassis in the T410 still feels as strong as ever ... but the bad news is a few specific areas did lose some strength compared to past ThinkPads. The screen lid seems weaker on the left side which allows pressure applied to the lid to show through as distortion on the LCD. Only the left side of the screen cover shows this distortion but it is still more than past models. Another item is the access panel on the bottom of the notebook that is designed to let users access one of the system memory slots and an open mini-PCIe slot. This is easily the weakest part on the entire notebook ... bowing slightly when installed and flexing more than any surrounding panel. I really wish Lenovo went with a metal panel even if it slightly increased the overall weight of the notebook.

Access to internal components has improved over past models with the T410 no longer needing to have the palmrest removed to upgrade the memory. With the latest redesign Lenovo moved the RAM to the center of the notebook. One slot is accessible through the bottom of the chassis with the access panel removed and the other is underneath the keyboard. The keyboard easily comes out after you remove two screws and slide it out of position. For the average person this makes user upgrades much less complex. As always the hard drive has its own access panel which is removed with a single screw.

Screen and Speakers
The screens offered on the ThinkPad T410 have changed very little compared to ones offered on the T400. The biggest difference is all T410 models come standard with LED-backlighting. With that said we didn’t notice any decrease or increase for that matter in the quality of the displays. The WXGA+ screen on the T410 with dedicated graphics offers good color reproduction with better than average contrast. The WXGA screen on the T410 with integrated graphics also has good color reproduction and contrast but it has a slight blue tint compared to a neutral white on the WXGA+ panel. Backlight levels are stronger on the WXGA panel when both panels are set to the same brightness level. Viewing angles were similar for each notebook with most colors starting to distort and invert when tilted 15-20 degrees back. Horizontal viewing angles were better with colors staying accurate even from steep angles.

The onboard speakers sounded better than average for a business notebook. They were able to get loud enough to fill a small room but bass and midrange was still lacking. For the daily video conference or watching YouTube during a break they should be more than adequate for the intended market. Headphones for travel are also high on the list of must-have accessories.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The T410 has the same redesigned keyboard that we saw debut on the T400s. It has a new function key layout with keys such as the Escape and Delete buttons increased in size while also added a backlit power button and microphone mute button. Another new feature which is located in the BIOS is Lenovo allows you to swap the function and control keys through software if you happen to be one of those people that enjoy the control key being the last key in the row.

The ThinkPad keyboard is still comfortable to type on for hours without creating too much hand strain. The redesigned keyboard has a few tweaks compared to previous models; narrower spacing between keys to lessen the chance of crumbs getting in and a softer typing feel. The softer and quieter typing feedback actually caused some typing troubles since I would type lighter on the keyboard and not fully activate keys. Once you got used to the difference it wasn’t a problem but for those first mistyped passwords it was really annoying.

The touchpad is a textured Synaptics model that is very spacious to handle multi-finger gestures. The T410 supports two-finger scrolling, rotating, and zooming, as well as three-finger press and flick. In general use the touchpad is easy to use with no discernible lag and a very fast refresh rate. The acceleration speeds on both axes were equal… so drawing a fast circle didn’t result in an oval shape. The textured surface was easy to slide across in daily use even if your fingers were slightly damp. The touchpad buttons were easy to use and very comfortable to click. They offered a long throw with a soft clicking action that didn’t emit any noise when fully pressed.

Ports and Features
Port selection on the new T410 is excellent and a huge improvement over previous models. Lenovo added an additional USB port, added FireWire, added eSATA (for compatible models), and even tossed in a DisplayPort connection for digital video out without needing to use a docking station. In total this makes the ThinkPad T410 one of the most feature-rich 14” notebooks on the market, with four USB ports, VGA-out, DisplayPort-out, combo audio jack, modem, LAN, FireWire-400, optional eSATA, as well as an optional SmartCard slot. The T410 also has a SDHC-card slot and ExpressCard/34 slot for expansion.

Front: SDHC-card slot

Rear: Modem, AC-Power

Left: VGA-out, LAN, three USB ports, DisplayPort-out, and Smart Card reader

Right: ExpressCard/34, eSATA, headphone/mic combo, optical drive, one USB, FireWire, Kensington lock slot

Performance and Benchmarks
System performance on both ThinkPad T410 models was excellent with the Intel Core i5-540M processors and speedy 320GB 7200RPM Seagate hard drives. Both systems offered excellent boot times and had plenty of power to handle anything we threw at them. The T410 with integrated graphics also gave us the highest 3DMark06 score we have seen to date on an Intel graphics model. Pushing close to 2,000 in 3DMark06 the T410 with integrated graphics should be able to handle most previous generation games with tweaked settings. For the average user the T410 in even the basic configuration will be able to handle 1080P HD video without breaking a sweat. For the business user on the road the newest Intel Core i5 processors are closing the gap between “slow” notebook computers and “fast” workstations.

Heat and Noise
Lenovo updated the cooling fan on the T410 by reshaping the fan blades to mimic the wings on an owl. This change lets the fan still push the same amount of air without producing as much sound as previous generation cooling fans. In testing we found the fan to be quieter but the pitch of the noise it produced went from a low to high-frequency note. In terms of cooling performance the T410 can easily cope with the thermal load from integrated graphics as well as dedicated graphics. After being stressed over a period of about an hour with back-to-back benchmarks the hottest spot on the T410 with dedicated graphics was 96-degrees on the bottom. The rest of the notebook including the palmrest and keyboard stayed comfortable. The T410 with integrated graphics saw a two to three-degree drop across the board with a hot spot measuring 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Battery Life
Users looking to get the most runtime out of their new ThinkPad will love the new 9-cell battery. Lenovo quietly bumped the 9-cell from the previous 84Wh capacity to a new 94Wh model. The change makes the battery look slightly larger but it doesn’t stick out any further from the back of the notebook. The 6-cell battery only got a 1Wh bump to 57Wh. In our battery test with the screen brightness set 70%, wireless active, and Windows 7 on a balanced profile the dedicated graphics model with 9-cell battery lasted for 7 hours and 30 minutes while the integrated graphics model with 6-cell battery stayed on for 5 hours and 43 minutes. Power consumption on the integrated graphics model was between 9 and 10 watts during the test with the dedicated graphics model pushing as high as 12 watts.

Conclusion
The full-redesigned Lenovo ThinkPad T410 offers quite a few enhancements over the previous generation T400, including less keyboard flex, an updated keyboard, a nicer touchpad, huge improvement in port selection, and better component access through the chassis. The new design is not without its flaws though as we have seen some areas like the screen cover show more flex than we would like. Overall the pros far outweigh the cons with the new T410 and as always the newest generation offers a substantial bump in performance. Compared to the last T400 we reviewed we saw an increase of almost 100% in 3DMark06 performance and almost half the time in wPrime. While it would be hard to say it is worth upgrading a T400 to this newer model--if you have an aging T60 or T61--now might be the time to upgrade.

Pros:

• Very fast
• Increased battery capacities
• Excellent port selection

Cons:

• Screen shows some distortion when flexing
• High pitched fan could be annoying

Build and Design
The design of the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet is all about business, with no superfluous frills. The color scheme revolves around black, with the screen lid and bottom painted with a rubberized black paint and with the inside being lightly textured black plastic. Following the trend of function over form, Lenovo includes an externally mounted WWAN antenna, palmrest rubber bumpers for when the screen is in the slate position, and quick access buttons along the lower edge of the screen. From tech-geek standpoint it is also nice to see that Lenovo didnt hold anything back when they planned the port layout, using all available space for ports, expansion slots, and internal component access. On the bottom the design is fairly busy, with two access panels for the hard drive and system memory, as well as numerous rubber bumpers for a solid grip on flat surfaces.

Build quality is excellent, with a great match of a sturdy magnesium chassis and durable plastic panels. Chassis flex isnt present anywhere, feeling solid in your arms in its slate position or sitting like a notebook on your desk. Keyboard support is very good, with only a small amount of movement on the right side of the keyboard above the hard drive bay. This wasnt noticed unless you really squeezed it in that spot. The upper half of the notebook feels very strong, which is important for any tablet that might be gripped along the screen edge. The plastic bezel feels firm under a tight grip and even under strong pressure doesnt transmit any force into the screen edge, which can cause color distortion.

A potential weakness of any tablet is the single pivoting hinge design, which also happens to be one of the first components we look at when we review any convertible tablet. Lenovo uses a 360-degree pivot mechanism on the X200 Tablet, which allows you to spin the screen in either direction. To go along with this feature, they also provide a visual indication of which direction you need to spin the screen to get it back to its default orientation. The hinge itself feels durable, with firm locking points in each of the three positions. When it is tilting the screen forward or back, it feels as strong as a standard notebook. When fully open it has some slight wiggle, which seems more like flex near the attachment point then play in the clutched hinge.

The X200 Tablet offers easy access to the hard drive and system memory through two access panels. The large panel on the bottom of the X200 exposes the two RAM slots, while the thinner access panel on the edge lets you slide out the hard drive.

Screen and Speakers
Lenovo uses an In-plane Switching display (IPS) in all versions of the X200 Tablet, but incorporates a different covering and backlighting method for each version. IPS displays are renowned for their color accuracy and superior viewing angles, which is a must if you are viewing the screen from many viewing angles. In the two models we reviewed, each showed the identical screen part number, but looked vastly different when put side by side. The touch-sensitive layer put over tablet screens almost always gives the display a hazy look, but this was the first time we saw both versions side by side. Below in the screen comparisons shots, the model on the left is the standard X200 Tablet, while the one on the right is the multitouch version.

The multitouch version looks faded and dimmer, even when both displays are set to the exact same brightness. One thing that becomes very clear is the non-touch X200 Tablet has one of the best screens we have seen in our office since the Flexview-era Thinkpads. Color saturation is excellent, contrast is through the roof, and black levels are excellent. Compared to my T60 with an IPS panel and CCFL lighting, the newer LED-backlit X200 display is much brighter and visible outdoors in full sunlight. Another interesting feature is the glossy but anti-glare surface. This display has a special coating which significantly reduces the amount of reflection you see. The only way we even saw anything reflected back at us was to tilt the screen back completely and get one of the overhead lights to bounce off of it. I personally wish other manufactures tried to do something similar. Viewing angles are nearly perfect, with colors staying accurate to the steepest angles. The only thing that changes is outside of the 10-15 degree "sweet spot" you can notice the screen dim slightly; other than that it looks perfect.

The Wacom support on each X200 Tablet was very good, with high accuracy once the pen was calibrated. Out of the box each model was pretty good, with a 2-3mm deviance from directly under the tip of the pen. Each screen surface was smooth to move a pen across, but the finish on the touch-screen model seemed to edge the glossy one out. For drawing or direct manipulation of objects on the screen the Wacom screens are very hard to beat. For slightly less accurate, but easier to use input, the touch-screen model offers excellent two-finger multitouch support. Finger presses were recognized quickly, with no lag or forceful press needed. I wish the screen supported more fingers like the T400s, but with the Wacom support included on both models, I cant complain much.

The onboard speakers are lap-firing, mounted directly below the palmrest. When situated on a flat desk surface they sound clear but very tinny. For video-conferencing or VOIP needs they work very well, but are lackluster for music and video. If you plan on using this tablet for multimedia, a pair of headphones is highly recommended.

Keyboard and Touchpad
The ThinkPad keyboard really deserves its own class when it comes to comfortable and durable business-grade keyboards. The X200 Tablet continues this trend with a full-size keyboard that is great to type on. The 12" widescreen size allows for a 100% size keyboard, no exceptions. Keyboard support is very good, with only one minor soft spot noticed on the right side above the hard drive bay. Under normal typing you would never notice the spot, but if you grip the tablet from that side you notice some give in that area. Individual key action is springy and precise, with great tactile feedback. Each key gives off a very mild click when pressed, which may get louder if you are a very forceful typer. Overall if you can get past the rather short palmrest, it is a very comfortable computer to use when typing.

Since this model has very little real estate south of the keyboard Lenovo went with a pointing stick only, just like the X-series models before it. If you have never used a pointing stick before it takes a bit to get used to, but once you get the nack of it is a very precise way to control the cursor. Sensitivity is great, with a wide range of adjustment possible in the driver menus. On occasion the mouse might move on its own for a few millimeters before it auto-adjusts on occasion, but that is fairly common with most pointing sticks on the market. As with notebooks with touchpads, you are still free to use an external mouse if you chose to go with an alternative input device.

Ports and Features
Port selection is very good when compared to other notebooks and tablets in the same size range. The X200 Tablet offers three USB ports, VGA-out, LAN, modem, and audio in/out jacks. Expansion slots include an ExpressCard/54 slot and 5-in-1 SD-card reader. When compared to the Dell Latitude XT2, the only features missing are a FireWire port and eSATA connection. For additional ports as well as an optical this model also offers a docking station connection on the bottom.

Performance and Benchmarks
System performance was excellent on both models we tested, and since the scores were nearly identical, we merged both of the results. Compared to the Dell XT2 with its 1.8" hard drive, the X200 Tablets offers a standard 2.5" drive that helps to keep system lag to a minimum. Going with the faster hard drives, Lenovo also offers faster processor options. New to the Windows 7 versions of the X200 is the the 2.16GHz Intel SL9600 processor. Compared to the 1.4GHz SU9400 processor offered in the XT2, the SL9600 provides much greater speeds with little impact to battery life. In our tests the X200 Tablet was able to easy cope with 720P and 1080P HD movie decoding, and even handle some older video games such as Half-Life 2 with some settings tweaking. Synthetic benchmarks also showed that system performance was on par with the 2.4GHz P8600 equipped X200 notebook. For users looking for a mobile workhorse, the X200 Tablet seems to be a great option.

Heat and Noise
During our tests we found the X200 Tablet to run fairly cool and quiet. Fan noise during our tests was minimal, with the fan staying at below whisper level under stressful activity. Under normal use the fan stayed off for the most part, only coming on in short bursts to bring air through the chassis. The cooling system seemed to handle system temperatures very well, keeping the chassis cool to the touch even after the system was on for most of the morning. The external temperatures shown below are listed in degrees Fahrenheit.

Battery Life
Battery life was very good on each system, but the non-touchscreen version of the X200 Tablet was able to take a big lead in this department. Both models were equipped with the 66Wh 8-cell battery, which extends out the back on the X200 chassis. A smaller 4-cell battery option is available, but I dont see why anyone would want that besides for aesthetics. On the standard X200 Tablet with the screen brightness set to 70%, wireless active, and Windows 7 on a dynamically-switching power profile, it got 8 hours and 48 minutes of runtime. Average power consumption during the test was between 6.5 and 7 watts. The touchscreen version didnt do as well in this test, getting only 5 hours and 32 minutes of runtime, while consuming between 10-12 watts of power.

Conclusion
The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablets we reviewed performed very well in almost all categories. Battery life was excellent with the 8-cell battery, reaching 8 hours and 48 minutes on the sunlight readable version, and 5 hours and 32 minutes on the touchscreen model. Screen quality on both models was phenomenal, with the sunlight readable display being one of the best screens we have ever seen in our office. Not only was it useable outdoors, but color saturation was high and viewing angles were perfect thanks to the IPS panel.

Overall performance was very good on both models, with little impact to battery life or system temperatures. Considering the low starting price compared to the Dell XT2, the ThinkPad X200 Tablets are a clear winner. For its amazing screen, great build quality, and excellent battery life we are also awarding the outdoor viewable X200 Tablet with our Editors Choice award.

Pros:

• Beautiful IPS displays
• Good performance
• Excellent battery life

Cons:

• Touchscreen display doesnt look as good as non-touchscreen model
• Only two-finger multitouch support
