ThinkPad X131e (AMD)

Up to Windows 8 Pro OS; up to 2nd generation Intel® Core™ i3 or AMD Dual Core accelerated processing unit (APU) with Vision Pro technology

Designed for durability in the rigorous K-12 school system, the 11.6-inch ThinkPad X131e is made to endure whatever's thrown its way. This laptop withstands the rigors of military-spec testing, so it's sure to handle the daily grind of the schoolyard. A rubber bumper cushions the top cover for added protection, while hinges and ports are further strengthened. The bezel with integrated webcam uses thicker plastic than other X Series models. Likewise with the spill-resistant, full-sized keyboard — gaps between keys are reduced 60% so keys are less likely to be removed. Active Protection System™ protects against abrupt movement or accidental drops. And at less than 4 lbs, the X131e won't weigh anyone down!

A low-light sensitive HD webcam, HD anti-glare display, HD microphone, and speakers, plus preloaded Skype™ application for video calls makes it a cinch for learning via social networks. LED activity lights on the top cover indicate at-a-glance status of wireless connectivity and power/sleep mode. Dolby® Advanced Audio™ v2 provides immersive surround sound and enhanced acoustics.

Intel® HD graphics includes up to 100% increase in 3D and visual performance from previous generations. Or select our AMD version for AMD Radeon™ graphics which offer a more feature-rich experience

Additionally, the X131e boasts industry-leading wireless connections and is 3G ready!

With a starting weight of just 3.9 lbs, a chassis that's just over an inch thin, and up to 8.5 hours of battery life with a 6-cell battery, the ThinkPad X131e delivers true mobile freedom.
