Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Review (with battery slice 39+)

CyberLink MediaEspresso 6 is the successor to CyberLink MediaShow Espresso 5.5. With its further optimized CPU/GPU-acceleration, MediaEspresso is an even faster way to convert not only your video but also your music and image files between a wide range of popular formats.

Now you can easily playback and display your favourite movies, songs and photos not just on your on your mobile phone, iPad, PSP, Xbox, or Youtube and Facebook channels but also on the newly launched iPhone 4. Compile, convert and enjoy images and songs on any of your computing devices and enhance your videos with CyberLink’s built-in TrueTheater Technology.

The Core i5 powered ThinkPad X1 completed our task in just under 30 minutes, which is a reasonably good result. The Core i7 processors are better for this test, and without hardware acceleration, the Core i5 processor finds this an extremely demanding task.

  1. That is seriously impressive. Its fairly expensive, but with all the work and materials involved I wouldnt mind paying it.

    Surprised about the keyboard being that good, most laptop keyboards suck ass.

  2. Fantastic. looks ideal for my business needs. No need to worry about a discrete card.

    Great to see lenovo aiming a little higher. most of their machines are budget oriented

  6. We bought five of these for work and they are really good. Ideal for travelling as they can take a fair bit of abuse.

    Battery slice is very costly however and needed for anything serious on the move.

  7. Shame its not an ips screen. Some other thinkpads use those.

  8. I know there were some battery issues with this initially, but I think a bios update has sorted it. This is a heck of a nice machine for most people (excluding gamers).

  9. Such a shame they went for a single memory slot, and therefore single channel. Understandable for a netbook, but for a 1000+ machine? I know space is at a premium, but SODIMM slots can be stacked or placed beside each other, I cant see how this couldnt be done.
