ThinkPad X Series

Putting the 'ultra' in ultraportable

ThinkPad X Series notebooks put the ultra in ultraportable. They're designed for on-the-go professionals who need maximum portability and light weight. And there's no trade-off in usability or durability. Our latest breakthrough - the amazing ThinkPad X300 - combines an ultra-thin DVD burner, Solid State storage and next-generation ThinkPad "roll cage" technology to create the thinnest, lightest full-featured notebook in the 13" widescreen class. And it's the "greenest" ThinkPad ever.

Lighter than air The X200 starts at just 1.34kg. The X61s starts at only 1.23kg. The X300 including the DVD burner is just 1.41kg Small footprint X Series notebooks fit easily at crowded tables, on airline trays and other tight spaces. X61/X61s is an amazing 266.7mm wide by 210mm deep, while the new X200 is 295mm by 210mm deep. Big work space The packages are small but the displays are not. X200 gives you a 12.1” widescreen. X300 offers a 13" widescreen – huge for such a lightweight system. X61/X61s offer a 12" standard.

The ThinkPad X300 extends Lenovo mobile innovation with a super-thin DVD burner. It makes the X300 the rare ultraportable with an integrated optical drive and helps keep the system profile to an astounding ¾ of an inch. The slim LED backlight display helps, too, and should ease eye strain when working long hours.

Extra long battery life
ThinkPad X Series offers all-day computing, with battery life up to 12-plus hours (depending on configuration).How? Custom Lenovo power management features plus carefully selected low-voltage processors and, on the new X200 and X300, new Solid State Drives with no moving parts. And X Series always offers the latest battery technology, for example the new Lithium-Polymer units which store more energy in a smaller space.

X Series models come with Lenovo Battery Stretch, a new feature of Power Manager that lets you make temporary selections in extreme situations to extend battery life beyond what your regular Power Manager settings might produce.

On-the-go people sometimes put themselves – and their notebooks – into risky situations.  X Series notebooks are tough enough to take it.

On the X300, next-generation ThinkPad "roll cage" technology uses a combination carbon-fiber/ glass-fiber top cover (similar to the bodies of the latest jet airplanes and Formula 1 race cars) for added strength and even less weight. And on the new X200, a magnesium-alloy roll cage in the top and bottom cover helps to protect your system against flexing, impacts, and accidental drops.

Other X Series durability features include:

• Solid State Drives with no moving parts (X200 and X300 only).
  
• Strong Magnesium-allow top and bottom covers (X200, X61/X61s).
  
• Spill-resistant keyboards, each sealed and contained within a tray with special drainholes to channel spills to the bottom of the system to lessen opportunity for damage.
  
• Sturdy metal hinges designed for reliability even after thousands of openings and closing.

Core technology X Series notebooks are consistently available with the latest Intel® Centrino® Duo Mobile Technology, which delivers a wide variety of benefits including true parallel processing when running multi-threaded applications or multiple applications simultaneously.  The Intel® Centrino® Pro platform (select models) provides hardware-based security and enhanced manageability, along with exceptional performance and outstanding mobility.

In addition, Intel® Turbo Memory on select ThinkPad X61 models helps speed boot time, loads applications faster, and saves power.

For graphics, X Series models offer integrated Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 (256MB).  Integrated graphics use less battery power than discrete graphics and fit better in ultraportable systems such as X Series models.

Storage
X Series storage options are varied, with choices to answer any need.

For optimal wireless reception, X Series features the UltraConnect II antenna, a combined design that supports IEEE 802.11a, b, g and "draft n" wireless technologies to help maximize wireless coverage and performance.  The X Series focus on wireless even touches the ultra-durable top cover on the new X300, where signal strength has been preserved with patent-pending technology that molds strong, non-interfering glass-fiber sides to the tough carbon-fiber back.

X61: Available external WAN antenna

And like all ThinkPad models, X Series notebooks come with convenient Access Connections™ software to manage your connectivity options as you move from location to location.

Built-in-solutions and security
The Lenovo Advantage includes great warranty protection and superior support and services.  But there's more, such as our exclusive ThinkVantage® Technologies – tools, software and services that help you deploy, connect, protect and support your Lenovo notebook.  Among them are:

• Rescue and Recovery™:  Recover from system crashes quickly, even if the primary operating system will not boot.
• Active Protection System™:  Like an airbag's sensor, Active Protection System can detect sudden changes in motion and temporarily stop the hard drive to help protect it from damage (not applicable to models with Solid State Drives).

X300: Integrated Fingerprint reader		In addition, numerous security features promise to keep your system secure and your data protected.
X Series models come equipped with an Integrated Fingerprint Reader and 32-byte pre-boot password protection to help guard against external threats.   Together with preloaded ThinkVantage Client Security Solution software, you have an integrated security solution right out of the box.  There is even an option to disable all input and output ports on the BIOS level, as a final layer of protection for your information.
