The Levono ThinkPad X200 is laptop specifically designed for Office use. Let’s see how it compares to other machinery in its category. Still living up to its name , the X200 possess a solid build and bi-directional hinge which is great in order to show your clients or associates your project or PowerPoint. The approximate weight is about 3.8 pounds and that is including the 8-cell battery which is perfect for students or workers that are always on the go. It also gives you three USB ports , 5-in-1 reader , VGA, Rj-11 and 45 , PCI expressCard , microphone and headphone port. You can always increase the number of opening by using a dock which is quite small and in order to obtain four more USB ports and the possibility to charge your spare battery .

The X200’s pen is responsive and taking notes feels like utilizing paper. There are no color bleeds and the display was absolutely great and bright. Unlike most tablets , it wasn’t too grainy and if you want to watch a video or image , you can expect to witness highly detailed and colourful objects and aspects whether you are in tablet mode or changing the position of your screen.

The Thinkpad X200 include the same LV processor but also posses a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo processor. Although the somewhat lazy worker wouldn’t be able to play his favourite video games on this baby, I would say that if you are the efficient and overzealous kind , you can definitely get the work done while opening multiple applications and programs without abusing your computer.

The keyboard is solid and accurate to type on and reaches the end of the casing which is a great remedy for the ‘claustrophobic’ typers. You get with the Lenovo Thinkpad X200 a typical trackpoint which can be a turn off for certain users. It is though still accurate and easy to get used to but some will still prefer having a touchpad. The pen is quite normal but still has a nice feeling to it and also includes a pretty good rubber texture and an eraser.

It is advertised that the X200 have up to 10 hours of life with the 8-cell battery that grows on the outside but makes a pretty nice handle when you are in tablet mode. With the 4-cell , you are supposed to experience at least 4 hours of usability.

The X200 is a solid and sturdy piece of machinery. The bi-directional hinge and the improved CPU are a great upgrade and you got almost no heat or noise and great Wi-fi connectivity to boot. The display was colourful and precise and it was definitely less grainy than other models. A downside would be that the screen isn’t a touch sensitive one, just an active digitizer, and that there is no touchpad but the whole kit , when using a pen , feels like writing on paper.
