Lenovo ThinkPad X100e Pro Reviews

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit Like Unlike

If you don't mind the lack of digital video out and if you don't require battery life longer than around four hours, Lenovo's ThinkPad X100e is an excellent choice, thanks to its advanced OS, superb build quality, decent specifications and class-leading usability – all while remaining easy on the wallet. However, even at under £330 that might just be one if too many, especially with some compelling alternatives available for only a little more.

At the end of the day, if you desperately need a netbook-sized computer with more processing power than an Intel Atom single core can provide, but can't afford to drop a couple hundred bucks more, the X100e is a solid buy. If you can spare the extra cash, though, you might be best looking at a true ultraportable.

The ThinkPad X100e is a cheap, but very desirable laptop that bridges the gap between netbooks and CULV laptops. The cute little ThinkPad X100e will not only be well received by businesses, but it has every chance to reach a much wider audience.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e is a solidly built, small format notebook computer. The absence of an optical drive will annoy some, but if netbooks don't have quite enough oomph for you, and the money is available, this could be a good alternative.

The dual-core version of the ThinkPad x100e is a much better bet than the original single-core version. Battery life still is still an issue, but it's a great-feeling 11.6-inch business Netbook.

Compared with these options, your £400-odd doesn't get you a machine with outstanding battery life, or great performance. So for some, the X100e might fall between two stools. But for conservative buyers, or those valuing robustness over whizz-bang features, and for those who find netbooks have too many compromises, the X100e is a strong contender.

We wanted the X100e to stay on that virtual pedestal. We really did. But while it's impressive in many ways - oh, that keyboard! - its battery life and heat issues just cannot be overlooked. There's no doubt that for $549 the X100e packs more power and graphics than the average $399 netbook, but other 11.6-inch Intel ULV laptops, like the $400 Acer Aspire 1410, rock similar performance scores and run for about five hours on a single charge.

Lenovo offers dual core models of the ThinkPad X100e for $499 and up, and given my experience with this laptop that’s a pretty good price for what you get. Unfortunately, the AMD chips used in these laptops are already dated, and I suspect you would get better performance and similar battery life out of a newer laptop with a dual core AMD Athlon II Neo K325 processor.

We're definitely fans of the dual-core ThinkPad X100e’s svelte form factor, responsive keyboard, great navigation options, and strong multimedia playback. Our tests make it clear that the dual-core AMD Turion X2 CPU offers better performance and longer battery life than the less-expensive single-core X100e. That said, the notebook continues to have two serious disadvantages when compared to Intel-powered competitors: relatively short battery life and extremely hot temperatures under heavy loads.

While its mixed levels of power and small size make it more akin to a netbook than a laptop, there's no denying the sheer quality of the ThinkPad X100e. By offering the key strengths of more expensive machines at a cheaper price, this is a truly great ultraportable for the price.

It’s the key interface elements of screen, keyboard and pointing devices that make recommending this mini laptop simple. It really is a treat to use when set against screen-cramped netbooks with undersized wobbling keyboards and ill-placed click buttons. Performance is also superior to your run-of-the-mill Atom netbook. But just remember that the AMD chipset means your unplugged runtimes will be far shorter than we’d prefer, especially when armed with such a generous battery pack.

As far as design and ergonomics go, the Lenovo ThinkPad X100e has the best keyboard and trackpad I’ve used on an 11.6 incher, and on top of that it’s matte all over including the display. Not to mention being very quiet. Doesn’t get any better than that. Performance, on the other hand, while good running at full performance, dips to netbook level speeds when running on battery mode. Battery life ranges from 3 - 4 hours on most occasions.

The overall design is excellent. The classic ThinkPad look seems to be even more appealing at a small size, and the fantastic keyboard layout made typing for long periods really easy. The trackpad and left/right click buttons were also outstanding (among our favorites), and the inclusion of a multi-touch gesture pad really took things up a notch. We weren't really pleased with the battery life, but we think it's a fair trade for the outstanding performance put out by the AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 processor and Radeon IGP.

AMD's Neo processor makes this a speedy netbook, but forget about working all day on one charge.

The ThinkPad X100e is an extremely well-designed business ultraportable that will no doubt meet the needs of most business travelers who are looking for a small, ThinkPad-quality laptop at a low price. That said, this configuration of the X100e falls short in two key areas: processor performance and battery life.

This baby ThinkPad costs much less than Lenovo’s other corporate offerings. Just don’t expect the exemplary keyboard and performance that distinguish the ThinkPad line.

The ThinkPad x100e is essentially the ThinkPad Netbook users have been dreaming of, with one of the best keyboards we've ever tested. Unfortunately, its performance, though better than Atom Netbooks', comes at the cost of longer battery life.

This affordable, durable ultraportable has a great keyboard and plenty of pep, but it runs out of gas too fast.

Flat, ultra-mobile and a constant companion for an active lifestyle - that's what ThinkPad X models have been designed for. Next to the more expensive and larger X-Series models, Lenovo provides us, according to their statement, with the cheapest ThinkPad that was ever made. However one shouldn’t have too great demands on the 11-inch model. Uncover details in our in-depth review.
