Lenovo ThinkPad X201 Review
The ThinkPad X201 is the latest in business 12-inch ultra-portable Lenovo. As an update to the X200 series, X201 Intel Calpella platform presented later. One of the most interesting of the new processor, which is on the X201, the new Core i7-640LM clock speed 32nm dual-core 2.13 GHz This article examines the range X201, X201, including, X201, X201 and tablet and see how they compare with previous models.
Construction and Design
The ThinkPad X201 has the same activity deliciously fearsome design of ultra-portable laptops-on-steroids, like all X Series notebooks before. At first glance, it looks like any other T-series laptop with a square frame with rubber and paint, but much smaller. Open with a laptop, you'll see that design is as small as possible without full-size keyboard. Keep the keyboard very small-scale consequences, but as a palm rest, which is cut too short for most of the wrists with the fingers while typing position. Portable X-series is essentially the smallest Lenovo ThinkPad is still permitted inclusion of a full-size keyboard design.
The production quality is great, most netbooks and laptops small market compared CULVER taken over the last two years. As the largest return of the T series, the X201 has substantial hinges, stainless steel mesh, durable ThinkPad keyboard, under a solid aluminum covered with plastic. The slim design allows for flexibility to allow certain small and the screen hinges feel "weaker", once reduced, but everything is relative. For a 12-inch laptop with the X201 can be broken with little regard will be issued before the date or the port that your life up. Try the same thing with the mass market more competitive and you do not like the results.
Customer service is always considered with memory and easy access to the hard drive. The X201 retains the sidebar to quickly change the hard disk and the lower deck to update the system memory.
Screen and speakers
Although the build quality exceeds many laptops CULVER a region of the X201 is actually more appropriate term. Compared to the most modern of 11.6 and 12 inch notebook consumer glossy screen is ultra new laptop, the X201 and X201 on the boards late in the color saturation and contrast. The colors were faded and weak, while the level of washing black felt. This seems to be the drawback of most business phones. Vertical viewing angle of color on the back quickly if the inclination of the screen 10 to 15 degrees forward or backward average. horizontal viewing angles are better in the hospitalization of colors, even the edges.
The screen X201 Tablet is a step up from the X201 or X201 and offers better color saturation and contrast. Viewing angles are also strong with a little better color contrast, even if it is tilted 45 degrees forward or backward. One of the problems that have been determined on the basis of our review of the X201 models, when the screen seems very warm (yellow / orange). This was the presentation of a year and was not very pleasing to the eye.
The brightness of the backlight of the three laptops looked much brighter in an office. The X201 is the most brilliant of the Confederation 250cd/m2 brightest spot is measured. The X201 was measured second and most brilliant 232cd/m2. The X201 was the extent of 182cd/m2, in all its splendor in third countries. If you want to use outdoor Lenovo X201 offers a choice of high brightness outdoor display visible on the X201.
Keyboard and touchpad
Each series ThinkPad X201 laptop that nine of the review provides the same keyboard, which has already been seen on the X200. After the big change with the T400 and T410, which expects to see a similar test for models X201, but it was not the case. He said that the experience of writing is all that we have come to expect from the ThinkPad brand trust. The keyboard size is 100% with the frame of the screen 12 inches wide, which is an improvement over the X61 is 4:3, which was condensed at the periphery of the keyboard. The face is an excellent bit of flex under moderate pressure. The feel of the keys is great, with a few clicks emits soft little noise when fully pressed.

A brand new feature on Synaptics ThinkPad X Series touchpad is close to the X201 and X201 Tablet. The X series has always been the limitation of being only TrackPoint is a major change for some users. Most buyers prefer the touch interface is evident, helping to increase sales in the Lenovo X201. The touchpad is a little strange at first, which is about half the size of a normal touchpadbut you get used very quickly. During testing, I concentrated on the touchpad and trackpoint had no problems with the use of Multi-Touch gestures. The touchpad has an excellent response time, without delay and offered to each axis at the same rate of acceleration to prevent unwanted oval.
Connections and functions
Selecting the port remains the same as previous models with three USB ports, VGA, LAN, ExpressCard/54, audio jacks and a modem. upgrade memory, Lenovo is also an SDHC slot on the edge of the palm rest. I was really hoping to see some type of digital video output, but it's a business model based on the majority of users still need a VGA output for projectors classics.
