As mentioned before, the graphic performance delivered by the notebook is insufficient for gaming or calculating 3D models. This performance will not suffice for a high level of details or effects in games. Intel's HD graphics deal with flash videos without a problem too. This increase was mostly thanks to the activated "Dual-Channel" mode the big RAM storage of 8 GB contributed much less to the increase. This mode improves memory efficiency and thus raises the graphic performance.
This is an integrated hardware accelerator which decreases the stress on the CPU during video conversions. The result of fps Quick-Sync might not have been as fast as that of the W fps , but all older CUDA systems would have been beaten by it. Sadly, such good performance is not always possible. For example, running the laptop without its battery running with the 65 W power adapter , causes a fall in CPU clock frequency down to MHz.
We tried changing the settings in the BIOS and in the energy saving schemes, but the clock speed stayed the same. This issue was resolved when we used the stronger 90 W power adapter from the ThinkPad T After that, the CPU could run at maximum speed even without the battery. Throttling is another serious problem which affects the performance. We did not notice any throttling while we were using the single RAM module installed in the laptop by the manufacturer 1 x 4GB.
The power adapter exceeded its 65 W power limit only once and usually consumed around 60 Watt. We ran a few benchmarks Furmark, Prime95, wPrime and Cinebench R10 in different combinations, and the laptop processed them at speeds ranging between 2. In the HW32, we noticed quite early that the processor speed constantly changed between 3,2 to 2. Shortly disconnecting the power adapter helps the CPU recover its original speed. After throttling, the laptop remained at MHz for a while.
To what extent does this issue affect the user in everyday use? That is a subjective question, and the answer will depend on what programs the buyer uses on a regular basis. We did not notice any fall in performance while converting videos Badaboom and music files iTunes. The X is available with conventional hard disks and modern solid state drives. The possibilities are extensive, especially for a Our test model has a Hitachi hard disk with a capacity of GB total and runs at rpm.
The performance is not mind-blowing average of The performance is subjectively much slower than that of a SSD due to the relatively slower access times of A SSD performs much faster, delivering a much smoother and better experience, while, for example, opening programs, booting, etc.
The storage device can be easily swapped out thanks to its easily accessible panel. Lenovo uses especially flat 7 mm storage devices for the X Two rubber covers are added which reduce the vibration of the device and also increase the total height of the storage device to 9 mm. Any bigger drives will not fit into the X, so, for example, the conventional 9. High latency values can lead to synchronization errors with external devices, such as sound cracking up or picture and audio being played out of sync.
Switching off the wireless modules , resolved the situation and the values later on in the test remained in the green zone. The native display resolution of x and low quality settings allowed games such as Racedriver, Sims 3 and Starcraft 2 to run well.
With this configuration, the frame rates always lie in the green region and the picture is always fluid. Lower resolutions can further increase the frame rates, but doing so will make the games boring. Higher quality settings will lead to more stutters. A second RAM module might improve performance in this case not tested. We used BIOS 1. With this version, the cooler fan acted very conservatively , like the fans of the older ThinkPad models. We measured noise emissions between The quiet motor noise of the Hitachi hard disk dominates the noise scenery when the fan switches off.
When the hard disk switches off, the laptop runs completely silently for a while. The use of a SSD can optimize the noise emissions further. It is possible that the manufacturer changed the cooler fan settings due to the throttling issue in later BIOS versions. We used version 1.
TPFancontrol showed that the cooler fan stayed at level 3 around 34 dB A most of the time. The cooler fan turns down only when the laptop is completely idle. Otherwise, the user just has to deal with a constant 34 dB A fan emission.
The TPFancontrol tool proves useful in this case, as it offers a variety of levels at which the cooler fan can be run. In office use or while surfing on the internet, the laptop cooler fan is very quiet at level 1 which is barely audible. A sudden increase or decrease of the fan speed or high noise emissions were not noticeable in our test. The case can reach a maximum of This is a noticeable increase in temperature but it will not be a problem as usually 3D calculations or rendering are not done with notebook on the lap.
The quality of the integrated speakers is standard as in most notebooks. There are too many highs, very few middles and little bass which means that the sound output will not make music enthusiasts jump with joy. Head phones or USB speakers should be included for mobile use if the user wishes a decent sound output. The different battery models available for the X are guaranteed to give the user a great degree of flexibility. The small 3-cell battery with a 28 Wh capacity 0A is the lightest of all the models.
The 6-cell battery with a 63 Wh capacity 0A - in our delivery , offers a good compromise between battery life and weight. Longer run times are possible with the 9-cell battery 0A - capacity of Wh which when combined with the docking 6-cell battery 0A - capacity of 64 Wh should deliver the maximum 23 hours run time according to Lenovo's webpage.
The power usage measured from the power adapter ranged between 5. The ThinkPad X's frugal power consumption is a great basis for long run times. Does the battery make the best of this design? In the Battery Eater Readers test longest possible run time - wireless modules off, minimum brightness, energy-saving mode , the X ran for slightly more than 9 hours, which means that the power usage per hour was around 7 Wh. Surfing using the W-LAN module brightness level 14 and watching films max.
The Battery Eater Classic test everything on, maximum performance, maximum brightness exhausted the laptop battery within 77 minutes. For these tasks the battery could deliver good run times of minutes and minutes respectively.
The notebook offers good mobility and the latest hardware - a combination hard to resist. So we can safely say that the Lenovo ThinkPad X is an attractive deal. The sturdy case proves resistant in many areas but it is not perfect.
The material weakness does not impact the sturdiness of the case too much, but the bulging of the material in the display border when the laptop heats up in direct sunlight will leave a negative impression on users. I put a Seagate 1 TB in mine and it's fast enough for most things. View All. Additional terms governing the Ideation Program are included in the Ideation Terms and may be found here.

In practice, the facial detection worked well as long as we were staring directly at the screen; if we were looking sideways, it locked. The powered fingerprint reader is one of our favorite security features on any notebook.
After you configure it, you can power on the notebook and log into Windows with just a single swipe. The Lenovo Screen Reading Optimizer makes your X a better eReader by lowering your power use and enabling you to enter portrait mode with ease.
Airbag protection helps keep your hard drive safe from sudden drops. Enhanced Backup and Restore lets you save a complete image of your system in case of emergencies. Perhaps our favorite utility is the Power Manager, which shows you the exact number of watts the notebook is using and allows you to exert finer control over power consumption than you get with Windows 7's power manager.
Interestingly, Lenovo hasn't pre-loaded all of its apps; it allows you to decide whether or not to install its Password Vault password manager, Access Connections wireless connection manager, and SimpleTap touch UI.
We think users will appreciate having the option to skip these utilities. Lenovo backs the ThinkPad X with a standard one-year warranty on parts and labor, though extended warranties are available for up to three years. ThinkPlus protection plans that insure against accidental damager are available at additional cost.

Available processors range from a 2. The screen is available in both regular and extra-bright versions, though both have the same x resolution. An 80GB mSATA SSD can be paired with one of the hard drives to give you the best of both worlds, a speedy boot and application drive for high performance and a large hard drive for data storage. Click to enlarge With the ThinkPad X, Lenovo has combined epic battery life, strong performance, a bright screen, a responsive keyboard, and powerful security features to make one of the world's best ultraportables even better.
Our biggest complaint is the flaky webcam, though we suspect that Lenovo will be able to address this issue. Users who want an even lighter notebook with a better screen and larger palm rest but less horsepower and battery life might prefer the inch MacBook Air. However, if you want something that packs a ton of power into a tiny package, the X is an excellent choice.
