Lenovo think pad x230

Tough, slim and light, the Lenovo think pad x230 elevates the business laptop to a new level with its vivid display, purer sound and peerless keyboard ergonomics. Start faster, resume faster and charge your battery less, giving you more time to strive for success.

Lenovo ThinkPad X230 Summary

Drop the ThinkPad X230 into a lineup with the last few generations of ThinkPad, and with the exception of the keyboard, you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference. Lenovo’s wares aren’t going to win many style competitions, but the matte black plastic shell, rigid body and demure ThinkPad badges offer a refined, functional aesthetic.

The Lenovo approach to chiclet keys features a rounded “smile” shape, allowing for a bit of extra room for every key without actually requiring you to stretch your fingers any further. It feels natural and rather comfortable, despite being a notable departure from the sloped, curved keys Lenovo purists might be accustomed to. Most of the keys have also been shuffled around, resulting in a layout that’s a bit more uniform: the function row’s keys are identical and tightly packed, bookended by slightly larger Escape and Delete keys.

Speakers

While the machine is scarcely deeper than an inch at its thickest point, travel distance on each key is excellent. There’s a satisfactory “click” with every press, though the mechanical keyboard isn’t especially loud. I did find fault with the arrow keys. I can’t be the only one who uses these to get around, despite the fact that they’re small. The Page Up and Page Down keys are sandwiched on opposite sides of the Up arrow.

Performance

The newly announced Ivy Bridge dual-core Core i5-3220M doesn’t fail to impress. While the X230 doesn’t quite keep up with some of the pricier Ultrabook on the market, it tackled our synthetic benchmarks amicably, and never made the slightest bit of fuss while in use. The model I reviewed packed a modest 320GB, 5400 RPM hard drive. It isn’t as fast out of the gate as Ultrabook packing solid state drives, booting into Windows in about 35 seconds.
