Case

Lenovo ThinkPad x240 when compared to the ThinkPad X230  looks a lot slimmer. Instead of a wedge-like shape, an overall flat design language has been implemented, yielding a more streamlined and more modern look.

However, the typical ThinkPad design has been retained, fostering Lenovo’s excellent brand recognition. The clamshell design of the display lid is also maintained. Our test device comes in at 1450 grams weighing exactly 100 grams less than its predecessor. Nonetheless, the battery capacity has been reduced from 62 Wh (X230i) to approximately 47 Wh, 15 Wh less.

Connectivity

Less is more? This seems to have been Lenovo ThinkPad x240 motto when it cut some of the ThinkPad’s ports such as the ExpressCard/32 slot and the USB 2.0 port with charging capability. 2 x USB 3.0 (the right one comes with charging capability), VGA, Mini DisplayPort, Gigabit LAN, a combined Line In/Out port and a card reader remain.

More ports can (only) be had during stationary usage with the help of a docking station. Unfortunately, the ones of its predecessors aren’t compatible any more since the proprietary connector has been slimmed down as well. The card reader manages to reach read and writes speeds of up to 72.8 MB/s and 23.9 MB/s, respectively (using a 64 GB SDXC card made by Transcend).

Intel Core i5

The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
