                      Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Full Review

Although the ThinkPad line of notebooks from Lenovo is synonymous with business laptops, there hasn't been a 13-inch ThinkPad since the old X301. The all new ThinkPad X1 promises to deliver all the features and dependability you expect from a ThinkPad inside a thin and lightweight 13-inch laptop.      

Our review unit of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 features the following specifications:

* INTEL Core i5-2520M dual-core processor (2.5GHz, 3MB cache, 3.2GHz Turbo frequency)
* Windows 7 Professional (64-bit)
* 13.3-inch HD (1366 x 768) LED Backlit Display with Corning Gorilla Glass
* Intel Integrated HD 3000 Graphics
* 4GB DDR3 (1333MHz)
* 320GB Hitachi Travelstar hard drive (Z7K320)
* Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (Taylor Peak) 2x2 AGN wireless card
* Bluetooth
* 720p High Definition webcam
* Fingerprint reader
* Integrated 6-cell battery (38.92Wh) and optional slice battery (36Wh)
* Warranty: 3-year
* Dimensions: 13.26 (L) x 9.1 (W) x 0.65-0.84 (H) inches
* Weight: 3.75 lbs.
* Price as configured: $1,399.00 ($1,549.00 with external slice battery)

Build and Design
Lenovo took a lot of time developing the X1 before bringing this notebook to market. As previously mentioned, the last 13-inch ThinkPad was the X301, and while that particular notebook wasn't wildly popular for Lenovo, business
customers have been asking for a 13-inch business laptop with a thin and light design that still delivers serious performance and is loaded with more ports than a 13-inch MacBook Air.

Can the ThinkPad X1 be the spiritual successor of the X301 and offer the attractive consumer appeal of a MacBook? Let's take a closer look to find out
