Pros
- Fast for a netbook
- Best keyboard in the business
Cons
- Not an ultraportable, despite Lenovo's characterization
At A Glance
This is not an ultraportable, though Lenovo refers to it as such; rather, it's one of the best netbooks ever.
Manufacturer’s Description
The ultraportable ThinkPad X120e is small in stature by design, but it packs an even more powerful punch for business productivity. Integrating an AMD Fusion E-Series APU delivers up to 65 percent faster graphics performance, which speeds up Web searches, page loads and running business applications. At the same time, the ThinkPad X120e gives users longer Battery life - up to 30 percent longer - for more than six hours. Lenovo offers a portfolio of service and support offerings to protect the ThinkPad X120e and to support IT departments. ThinkPad Protection covers repairs resulting from accidents, drops and spills, while ThinkPlus Priority Support provides 24x7 business-class technical support for IT administrators.
