Understated appearance; Sturdy and built incredibly well; Fantastic keyboard; Loads of features
3G SIM card slot doesn't appear to work out of the box; Battery isn't very good; Multitouch trackpad needs some tweaking
While it might be close to perfection, the X1 manages to make us question whether the price tag is all that reasonable. Business executives may be willing to hand over two thousand dollars – but we’re not sure if they should, considering the battery l...
Great performance, Incredibly durable construction, Thin, Integrated 3G
Poor battery life, Aussies pay a lot more for the X1 than they should
The X1 is an exceptional 13.3-inch laptop, which would have easily walked away with an Editors' Choice award were it not for Lenovo's decision to charge Australians way too much for it.
Semi-rugged design, Full-voltage Intel Core i5 CPU, Solid state drive
Touchpad could be better, Had problems recognising SIM cards, Could use more premium features
The ThinkPad X1 is the type of laptop that no reviewer wants to give back to the vendor. It feels solidly built and great to use, but it could be better. In particular, its touchpad needs refinement, it could use more premium features such as an ambient l...
Abstract: Lenovo’s monolith-like ThinkPads have traditionally been the antithesis of sleek and hip computer design. Purposefully business-y in both form and function, they’re not the sort of notebooks one whips out at Starbucks in hope of generating a little gee...
On first look the idea of putting a low-power processor in a laptop may seem a strange idea, but Lenovo has managed to integrate the secondary OS in a slick manner and for people looking for the ThinkPad X1 experience but with more battery life, this c...
Good CPU performance, Robust / Small, Separate volume control buttons
No disc player, Panel with very low contrast (173:1) and inaccurate colours, Low gaming capacity, Low battery life (2h15), Onboard speakers lack power
With battery life of 2h15, the X1 may be powerful and well-equipped but we aren’t able to give it more than a three-star rating. The Asus U36SD seems a better choice to us, especially as it costs almost half as much as the X1 (remember, price isn't inc...
Despite the less than glorious screen resolution, in practice, I found the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 was really a pleasure to use. I’m simply a veteran ThinkPad user, there’s always been (at least) one in my Apple household, and I’m the sort of user who disa...
Chassis design is class leading, liquid ‘proof’ keyboard, The best laptop keyboard we have used, and it offers backlighting, screen is very bright, working well in a variety of conditions, good overall system performance, Strong connectivity including USB 3.0, eSATA and HDMI out, onboard audio is surprisingly capable, over 10 hours battery life with the slice added, full 3 year warranty
single channel memory, battery slice is very expensive in the UK, not a gamers machine, slightly reflective screen, without the battery slice, the underside of the chassis can get warm, rubber cover on the side panel isn't really needed, Kitguru says: Thi
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is without a doubt, one of best laptops I have ever reviewed. The appearance is very ‘businesslike', but Lenovo have been able to modernise the overall design to attract a much larger audience.I will admit I am a huge fan of the App...
