ThinkPad X Series notebooks put the ultra in ultraportable. Designed for extreme mobility, these lightweights deliver in a big way in reliability, performance and durability. Wherever you go, the X Series is sure to be your hardest working and ever-trusty travel companion. You won't ever want to travel without it.

ThinkPad® notebooks are renowned for their exceptional engineering, with a 16-year legacy of innovation rooted in the original IBM ThinkPad developed in 1992. And now the new ThinkPad X301 advances ultraportable computing even further than the groundbreaking X300, going beyond thin and light to offer exquisite design and unexpected features in such a small package — without the need to carry external drives or peripherals.

The 13.3" widescreen offers the portability of a standard-ratio 12" display and the usable workspace of a standard 14" model. The LED backlight display provides a great viewing experience with brighter, better colors and a longer battery life. Plus, the widescreen panel offers multitasking functionality and a truly cinematic experience when viewing media. And integrated DisplayPort technology allows you to connect an external monitor for a larger picture or enhanced dual-screen productivity.

The X301 pushes the limits of innovative form-factor design with a super-thin DVD burner integrated within its surprisingly slim ¾" profile. And the X301 features a flash-based solid-state drive that accesses data faster, uses less power and — with no moving parts — is less susceptible to damage and breakdown than a traditional hard drive.

The smartly designed X301 takes our industry-leading roll-cage protection even further with its ultra-durable carbon and glass fiber top cover — employing a similar design to those used in Formula 1 race cars and Boeing jets. The secret is in the patent-pending technology that molds strong, non-interfering glass-fiber sides to the tough carbon-fiber backing for extra protection and durability at an extremely light weight. This revolutionary design carries with it the added benefit of enhanced wireless performance.

Protect your sensitive data and your investment in cutting-edge ThinkPad technology. Your X301 comes with the industry's leading security features, including Intel® AMT 4.0, Intel® Trusted Execution Technology, data encryption, centrally managed passwords, remote system lockdown and BIOS port disablement.

Other security options include an integrated fingerprint reader, 32-byte pre-boot authentication, the option to disable all the input and output ports, and Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2. Plus, ThinkVantage Technologies like Rescue and Recovery® and the Active Protection System™ offer easy, built-in protection.

Also reassuring is the fact that all ThinkPad X Series models feature worldwide, round-the-clock service and support and come with an industry-leading warranty. Optional services like ThinkPad Protection provide repair and replacement services to further help in protecting your investment in state-of-the-art ThinkPad technology.
