[QUOTE="alextrela, post: 1057674546, member: 34998"] [b]Re: Lenovo ThinkPad X1[/b] Full αναλυτικο review απο Notebookcheck. [url]http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-X1-Tablet-Review.166563.0.html[/url] Pro + novel new kickstand design which improves lap comfort + good WLAN performance + comfortable, well-tuned keyboard + spacious and accurate touchpad with good integrated buttons + vivid display panel with reasonably good color gamut + speedy general system performance + separately-sold modules are a neat concept + maintenance is made possible by removable rear panel Cons - case, while rigid, is more susceptible to torsion than the Surface Pro and other competitors - difficult to carry one-handed while open - middling brightness and contrast pales in comparison to most rivals - PWM is present at all brightness levels up to 49 percent - sustained CPU/GPU performance is subject to thermal constraints; throttling is nearly instantaneous - GPU performance is actually below that of the Surface Pro m3 model - runs warm while idle and quickly becomes hot under stress - speakers are mediocre at best - battery runtimes are well below average - pricey Verdict In review: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet. Test model provided by Lenovo US. Lenovo was one of the pioneers of the convertible market long ago, but the X1 Tablet ($1,549 as reviewed) marks the company’s first foray into the Microsoft Surface-style designs with their flagship ThinkPad line of products. The goal of the device was to provide a business-friendly alternative to the Surface Pro—and in a number of ways, it succeeds. The X1 Tablet not only emphasizes usability with the comfortable, well-tuned input devices we’ve come to expect from a ThinkPad, but it also features strong performance for a passively-cooled device, maintenance and in-house service opportunities (sure to be celebrated by IT corporate departments), and a range of separately-sold modules to expand functionality and port selection. We also were impressed by the revised kickstand design, which renders lap-based use considerably more comfortable than it is with the Surface Pro. Despite its shortcomings, the X1 Tablet is nevertheless a strong first attempt by Lenovo to provide a business-friendly alternative to the Surface Pro 4, and users (or organizations) intrigued by the concept may find it to be just what the doctor ordered.
