|
| "Enter the Lenovo ThinkPad SL300, SL400 and SL500, which are designed - and priced - specifically with you in mind. These models contain most of the features that have made ThinkPad a standard (most notably the excellent keyboard and security features) but leave out the enterprise-oriented features that drive up the price. The result: notebooks that let small business owners and sole proprietors switch to a ThinkPad, without the cost penalty."
|
| "Overall, the SL400 is a sound business laptop...Its combination of performance and value places it near the top of our charts."
|
| "Lenovo pushed all the right buttons when it crafted the ThinkPad SL400 business laptop. It's portable enough to suit most road warriors, but fast enough to keep their apps running smoothly."
|
| "Compared to similar offerings from Dell, HP, and other companies the SL series is still looking pretty good because Lenovo was able to leverage the existing ThinkPads in order to put out a very solid product."
|
| "The laptop, a Vista Business-based Lenovo ThinkPad SL500, is astonishingly powerful...It posts a Windows Experience Index score higher than that of my desktop machine back home, and the typically excellent ThinkPad keyboard and 15-inch widescreen display makes this machine even more comfortable to use than that desktop."
|
| "The Bottom Line: The Test Center can recommend both the ThinkPad X200 and the ThinkPad SL 400...The SL 400 can simply give VARs a strong weapon to win sales in small-business accounts."
|
| "Designed from the outset as an SMB offering, the ThinkPad SL series aims to combine value with performance while still offering the features that matter the most to small and medium businesses."

|
|
| "The [ThinkPad T400s Multi-Touch] screen is pure beauty. Like a capacitive touchscreen phone, light taps on the display are responsive and you don't have to think about positioning your finger in a certain way to open apps or rearrange windows."
|
| "Like most ThinkPads, the T400s can handle some pounding. Multitasking (watching a 1080p video, with 7 tabs open in Firefox, while running three IM clients and editing photos in GIMP) was smooth and I wasn't waiting around for things to load"
|
| "The ThinkPad T400s nails both touch and performance, but it also makes a decent phone and music player."
|
| "The ThinkPad T400s has always been a solid notebook, and now it's the world's first to have a screen capable of recognizing four fingers at once."
|
| "The Lenovo ThinkPad T400s Touch is a very cool idea, bringing a touch interface to a standard notebook. It gives users the capability to interact with the computer on a much more natural level and has huge potential for CAD applications or even messing around while surfing the web."
|
| "The Lenovo ThinkPad T400s (Multitouch), a big-screen version of the ThinkPad X300 commands the same kind of awe, and now has multitouch capability."
|
| "The ThinkPad T400S weighs less than four pounds and measures less than an inch thick, it feels even thinner and lighter."
|
| "If you want something with reasonable processing capability but in a near-ultraportable form-factor, it's a definite contender."
|
| "Before anyone gets too worried – the T400s feels like a ThinkPad. The keyboard is slightly changed, but excellent, the build quality is very solid and the system generates very little heat. The materials are basically the same as they've always been, but the system feels lighter and thinner than you would expect (it's easy to pick up with one hand when it's open). Overall it feels like a mix of the T400 and the X301, and while impressive, it's not as crazy-thin as the X301 (0.79-inches thick)."
|
| "As always, the [T400s] keyboard is excellent-fast, accurate, and predictable – though the slight tweaks to the Delete and Escape keys won't be universally loved. Individual keys are actually spaced together more closely, so fewer crumbs and other debris will fall between them. Users will be right at home and aside from the shorter system height it feels just like any ThinkPad."
|
| "The [T400s] trackpad is 27% larger and works just as well as always. While the new texture is a bit odd for a ThinkPad, it's accurate and the material never catches your finger the way some different textured trackpads can."
|
| "The [T400s] 1440x900 display offers up a lot of room for a system this weight, and a standard amount for a 14-inch notebook. The use of LED backlighting is great to see and the screen gets pretty bright."
|
| "Based on the specs and the previous ThinkPad models, there wasn't much concern about the T400s being a solid performer. It has no problems handling Vista and other daily tasks, just as you would expect from any recently released notebooks, lightweight or otherwise."
|
| "Lenovo has just announced the ThinkPad T400s, a 14.1-inch laptop that is only 0.83 inch thick and less than four pounds in weight. I have been using the T400s for a couple of weeks and I am very impressed with this no-compromise notebook."
|
| "The ThinkPad T400s has been a good performer for me so far with very good system responsiveness. I am seeing nearly six hours of battery life with the standard battery making this a solid mobile solution for the road warrior."
|
| "[The multi-touch trackpad] makes using the T400s easily done without a mouse, something I normally don't like doing."
|
| "The T400s features a Magnesium alloy bottom cover and keyboard bezel to provide absorbent shock protection to the motherboard, which means you'll never have to worry about dropping your laptop bag on the floor or accidentally banging the ThinkPad against something...We can definitely appreciate its durability, especially since it's made out of carbon- and glass-fiber – the same material used in sports cars and commercial air planes."
|
| "[I]f you are looking for an all-around sturdy machine that can perform your typical work or school functions and be transported with ease, the T400s is a worthy product."
|
| "One of the biggest improvements: the touch pad, covered in a matte textured finish, is one of the most responsive we've used, and also is one of the best at executing multitouch commands like two-fingered scrolling. The T400s is one of the few laptops remaining to also offer a pointing stick, and it also has its own set of discrete buttons over the touch pad."
|
| "The screen, now backlit by LEDs, is also dazzlingly bright – one of the brightest on the market, especially in this size class. Netbook and MacBook Air users, take a back seat: There's also a DVD burner."
|
| "So how did Lenovo improve on a laptop that already offered a great balance of features? For starters, it slimmed down the profile (big time), beefed up the ports, and integrated GOBI (for Wireless WAN access)."
|
| "Lenovo has presented a worthy successor to the T61 series with the T400. Every piece of the hardware, from the processor to the RAM to the HDD, was a solid choice by Lenovo and performed well under our testing. The battery life was excellent, in part thanks to unique features like Switchable Graphics, which let you switch between integrated graphics and the dedicated 256MB GPU at will."
|
| "The Lenovo ThinkPad T400 proved to be an exceptional 14" business notebook, giving almost unheard-of battery performance under modest running conditions."
|
| "The Lenovo T500 as a whole is a great step up from the T61... System performance was phenomenal, coming close to workstation or gaming notebook levels."
|
| "The T500 Thinkpad is the latest 15.4" refresh of the longstanding T-series out of Lenovo. Combining the latest generation of Intel goodies, ATI Hybrid graphics, and DisplayPort connection this notebook has many new things to offer over the previous ThinkPads."

| "Equipped with the Centrino 2 processor, Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 looks a mild-mannered ultraportable, yet it can leap tall workloads in a single bound. Its battery life is phenomenal, and the keyboard is huge."
|
| "Record-breaking battery life; strong performance for an ultraportable; comfortable full-size keyboard; wide-screen display with a sharp resolution; WWAN and GPS options."
|
| "The Test Center's editors were blown away by the features, design, engineering and performance of this notebook — a notebook aimed squarely at business and one that, we believe, delivered a new way to consider personal computing and connectivity even beyond its product segment."
|
| "Among Windows-based laptops, my favourites include Lenovo's ultra-thin ThinkPad X series because of their superb keyboards, long battery life and solid build."
|
| "Overall, the X200s is an excellent business ultraportable due to its durability, light weight, great battery life (at least with a 9-cell battery) and more than adequate performance when it comes to business related applications."
|
| "The X200 is one super ultraportable with full-featured performance, battery life and a good keyboard to boot."
|
| "The Lenovo ThinkPad X200 is a business-quality ultraportable notebook that can stand up to almost anything a road warrior can throw at it, and provide upwards of 10 hours of battery life for those late-night meetings."
|
| "The X200 should have heads turning and users thinking about making a new purchase."
|
| "At less than three pounds with a battery life that's among the best we've seen, the X200 takes mobile PCs for business to the next level."
|
| "We heartily recommend that anyone in the market for a small, portable business notebook take a good, hard look at the ThinkPad X200."
|
| "The 12.1-inch ThinkPad X200 offers strong performance and the longest battery life we've seen. With a variety of connectivity options and a roomy keyboard, the X200 makes a great ultraportable for road warriors."
|
| "Equipped with the new Centrino 2 processor, Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 looks a mild-mannered ultraportable, and yet it can leap tall workloads in a single bound."
|
| "When it comes to day-to-day mobile usage the X200 will be an ideal tool for anyone who wants something small and light but does not want to sacrifice on performance or usability, especially concerning their keyboard."
|
"Lenovo has just announced their newest ultra-portable, the X200... I've been fortunate enough to have used the X200 over the last several days and let me tell you – it flies!!! If this is any indication of the future X200 Tablet PC, I can't wait!"
| — |
GottaBeMobile, July 2008 |
|
| "The X200 is a classy business notebook that leaves little to complain about, especially considering its price point."
|
| "The Bottom Line: The Test Center can recommend both the ThinkPad X200 and the ThinkPad SL 400. In fact, the X200 is now giving the X300 a run for its money for the title of year's best notebook."
|
| "Lenovo's heralded "rock solid" design? Check. An ample amount of ports stuffed into a lightweight package? Check. A price tag that's on the good side of reasonable? Check. Laptop has just awarded Lenovo's recently announced X200 ultraportable an Editor's Choice award after determining that what it has is likely what you'll want."
|
| "...we'd choose it over the MacBook Air simply because it's just as portable but a lot more flexible.."
|
"After visiting the Apple store last week, I would have purchased the MacBook Air had I had the money. I'm glad I waited until I got my hands on the X300. WOW!! I'm amazed every time I pick up the X300 at how light and well balanced it is."

| "If I were custom-designing a notebook to make my business travel easier, the ThinkPad X300 would be it."

| "Let's just say that Lenovo continues to get it right with Tablet PCs, and that the Lenovo ThinkPad X200 Tablet PC is a real winner and call it a day. The reason? It is a winner."

| "Out of all the Tablets I have reviewed so far, the X61 is one of my favorites in terms of design, mostly due to its simplicity and functionality."
|

|
| "The dual-display is well constructed and stable. I saw the internals in a mock-up and you don't have to worry about the side screen flapping in the breeze."
|
| "Since tower workstation users typically work with two screens on their desk, one for their project and another for menus and other open applications, the W700ds lets them go mobile without giving up that convenience."
|
| "In a landscape where thin, light, and compact notebooks are becoming the norm, Lenovo's ThinkPad w700ds is a behemoth --but with good reason. This is quite possibly the ultimate notebook for graphics professionals and photographers."
|
| "Two screens are better than one. ... The Lenovo ThinkPad W700ds is the very first notebook computer to actually sport two displays: a 17-inch main display, plus a second 10.6-inch display that slides out the right side like a leaf in a dining room table. It even pivots forward to provide the optimum viewing angle alongside the main display."
|
| "Of course, while the second screen is likely why most people are interested in this notebook, the ThinkPad W700ds mobile workstation still offers all the unique features and capabilities offered in the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation that included the industry's first built-in digitizer and built-in color calibrator."
|
| "Unleash your creativity with W700: the photographer's mobile studio."
|
| "The ThinkPad W700 may seem understated, but it's a top-flight laptop. For on-the-go graphics artists or anyone looking for the ultimate mobile workstation, it's hard to beat."
|
| "The Lenovo ThinkPad W700 is not only a desktop replacement; it's also a desktop-size machine. This laptop incorporates many of the latest mobile workstation features while also packing in a few unusual--and very welcome--goodies for the graphic artist or CAD designer."
|
| "What's perhaps more impressive is the W700's absolutely gorgeous 17-inch LCD panel, which has a 1,920 x 1,200 native resolution."
|
| "Lenovo's latest ThinkPad doesn't only offer a second screen, but sets a new standard in mobile productivity....the ThinkPad W700ds is all about business, making it perfect for everything from editing video to working with high-end computation and visualization programs."
|
| "While vendors such as Acer, Toshiba and HP employ big-screen notebooks in the name of entertainment, the ThinkPad W700ds is all about business, making it perfect for everything from editing video to working with high-end computation and visualization programs."
