Advantages and Disadvantages of Lenovo ThinkPad X200 (Review)
Posted on | April 19, 2010 | No Comments
Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is 12.1″ tablet has a reinforced lid that uses carbon fiber on the top and glass fiber around the edges for added strength. It’s definitely a solid ThinkPad with some new features like a bi-directional hinge, which is a bonus and it’s powered by a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo processor.
Lenovo ThinkPad X200 has a solid chassis and design. I mean after all it is a ThinkPad and lives up to its name and durability. It sports the same matte black design, but new to Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a bi-directional hinge, which is great for presentations, much like the Fujitsu T2010.
Lenovo has done it again with the X200 keyboard. It is solid and feels great to type on. The keys give the right amount of feedback and I don’t feel cramped when typing because the keyboard goes all the way to the edge of the casing. The Shift and Enter buttons are full sized, which is a nice change from my daily tablet, but the Fn keys across the top are separated in sections, no big deal once you get used to it. The PgUp, PgDn, Home and End keys are the same way.
Advantages:
Great battery life
Solid durable design
Nice pen
Clear bright display
Bi-directional hinge
Disadvantages:
Could use more features, besides getting the dock
Keyboard keys separated like the Fn keys

Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a solid tablet with the same signature ThinkPad design. If you don’t like the plain black design your out of luck. It has new features like the bi-directional hinge that used to only be available on Fujitsu tablets, improved battery life and better wireless radio. I had no problems connecting to the Internet once I changed a few settings around. Some users may get confused by this, but it was easy.
