ThinkPad X Series notebooks

Ultraportables for the executive on the move
ThinkPad X Series notebooks put the ultra in ultraportable. Designed for extreme mobility, these lightweights deliver in a big way in reliability, performance and durability. Wherever your business takes you, the X Series is sure to be your hardest working and ever-trusty travel companion. You won't ever want to travel without it.

Beyond light
There's enough in your life to weigh you down. Don't let your notebook. Look to our X Series for ways to lighten your workload. And all models weigh in less than 3 lbs.

Small footprint
Crowded tables, cramped airline trays or any other tight spots you find yourself in are no match for our X Series. Starting at a mere 10.5" wide and 8.3" deep, you'll revel in the increased portability, versatility and sheer freedom of these compact wonders.

Spacious displays Strike the perfect balance between roomy displays and lightweight mobility. The X Series offers 12.1" and 13.3" widescreen displays so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X301 pushes the limits of innovative form factor design. It's available with a super-thin DVD burner integrated within its surprisingly slim ¾" profile. And the light but roomy 13.3" widescreen LED backlight display helps ease eye strain, too.

Extra long battery life
When you're on the road, your notebook is only as good as its battery performance. The X Series ThinkPad won't let you down. A clever combination of Lenovo's power management features, carefully selected low-voltage processors, less power hungry displays and the latest battery technology allow up to 12 hours* of worry-free all-day computing.

Model Battery life
ThinkPad X200 3.1 hours to 9.8 hours
ThinkPad X200s 4 hours to 13.2 hours
ThinkPad X300 4.3 hours to 10 hours

X Series models also come equipped with Lenovo Battery Stretch, a new feature of Power Manager that lets you make temporary selections in extreme situations to extend battery life beyond what your regular Power Manager settings might produce.

 

Durability
On-the-go people sometimes put themselves and their notebooks into risky situations. X Series notebooks are tough enough to take it.

On the X301 models and select X200s, Next Generation ThinkPad Roll Cage technology utilizes a carbon-fiber/ glass-fiber top cover (similar to the bodies of the latest jet airplanes and Formula 1 race cars) for added strength and even less weight.

And on the X200 and X200s, a magnesium-alloy top and bottom cover help to protect your system against flexing, impact and accidental drops.

Other X Series durability features include:

  • Solid State Drives with no moving parts (Select models).
  • Strong Magnesium-alloy top and bottom covers (X200/X200s).
  • Spill-resistant keyboards, each sealed and contained within a tray with special drainholes to channel spills to the bottom of the system to lessen opportunity for damage.
  • Reliable, sturdy metal hinge construction designed for daily use.

Core Technology
X Series notebooks are consistently available with the latest Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology, which delivers a wide variety of benefits including true parallel processing when running multi-threaded applications or multiple applications simultaneously. The Intel® Centrino® Pro platform (select models) provides hardware-based security and enhanced manageability, along with exceptional performance and outstanding mobility.

X200 Up to Intel® Core™2 Duo processor P8600 (2.40GHz, 3MB L2, 1066MHz FSB) Normal voltage processor for superior performance – not typically available on ultraportables.
X200s Up to Intel® Core™2 Duo SL9400 processor (1.86GHz, 6MB L2, 1066MHz FSB) Low voltage processor combines performance with energy efficiency for longer battery life.
X301 Intel® Core™2 Duo ULV SU9400 processor (1.40GHz, 3MB, 800MHz) Special ultra low voltage processor configured to fit smaller, thinner systems.

In addition, Intel® Turbo Memory on select ThinkPad X200/X200s models helps speed boot time, loads applications faster and saves power.

For graphics, X Series models offer Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4700MHD. Integrated graphics use less battery power than discrete graphics and fit better in ultraportable systems such as X Series models.
