Lenovo ThinkPad X100E 11.6-Inch Netbook (Black)

#1: Lenovo ThinkPad X100E 11.6-Inch Netbook (Black) Reviews!




I was looking at various options in the Netbook/sub-compact range and decided the X100e seemed to fit my needs the best. I could not be more happy with this computer. Much much faster than any netbooks that I've seen, but basically the same size. It only weighs a few ounces and has reasonably good battery life, but not quite as good as netbook.

The amazing keyboard and better speed make up for the battery performance issue and I'm very happy with my decision. Like one of the other reviewers, I switched out the hard drive for an Intel 80gb SSD and up graded to Windows 7 Ultimate. This gives me extremely quick load times and don't ever see speed problems with web surfing and using office.

I thought this would just be a travel laptop for me, but I'm pretty much using it for everything now. The only time I'll use my larger laptop is when I'm using Adobe CS, which is probably a little to much for the X100e's processor.

I've owned several high performance Dells and HPs and really like this Thinkpad better than all of them.

Customer Reviews


It's cripplingly slow - lesliac -
i got this computer to replace a thinkpad x61 that i got thru work 3 years ago.

i found performance of this single-processor x100e rather disappointing out of the box.

i am pretty limited to thinkpad laptops since they are the only ones with a decent trackpoint; the keyboard is also easy to use and the build quality is supposed to be better than other laptops. battery life is so-so.

this machine feels sturdy, but it is insanely slow. i've had it now for 2 months. it gets bogged down all the time and often has to freeze everything and spend some time "thinking"...even if i am just using firefox with a few tabs open, +/- microsoft word.

i don't feel like i'm doing anything very multi-media. i have even surfed the internet for tips on speeding it up: updated the graphics driver, removed some of the thinkvantage extra software, increased RAM to 4GB. but it remains really slow, so unless i find a solution soon i'm going to have to get rid of it.

i'm surprised to see so many positive reviews; perhaps mine is a lemon? i haven't yet tried contacting lenovo, since when i had problems with my x61 a few years ago, i found their customer service to be difficult to work with.
