Lenovo ThinkPad X120e Review
It is good to see AMD, that's fusion technology final delivery. CPU and GPU convergence has threatened for some time now, and there have already been a couple of CPU/GPU hybrids available model likes of Intel, the idea of having a second low-power, economic to produce cutting edge CPU/GPU combo box on a mobile platform is particularly exciting.
In the course of the last 2-3 years, we have critiqued the majority of the large ultraportables and netbooks to hit the market. Most of them relied on Intel's Atom, which has always been somewhat underpowered in most of its editions. The two areaa, Intel trump AMD in front of the netbook was, however, battery life and heat. AMD netbook platform, the Neo prior, was perhaps more powerful than anything that an Atom (and an integrated GPU) could muster, but it did more power for that to happen.Fusion bager CPU and GPU in a single piece of silicon, and while we have already gone through E-350 APUS by its lonesome, we have been waiting patiently for a system to integrate chip maker in a retail-ready notebook. Lenovo has become one of the first to do so, offers two major builds of ThinkPad X120e: a $ 399 building with E-240 APU and a $ 579 building with E-350 APUS, 4 GB RAM and a large 320 GB (7200RPM) hard drive. Both use a 11.6 5? screen and comes with Windows 7.
Specifications and features
* AMD E-350 Zacate @ 1.6 GHz, dual core Fusion
* 4 GB DDR3 RAM
* 11.6.5? LCD (1366 × 768); LED backlit, mat
* AMD Radeon HD 6310M graphics
* 320 GB (7200RPM) Hitachi Travel star 7 K 500 hard disk
* the 802 .11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi
* No optical drive
* 1.3 megapixel webcam
* VGA output
* USB 2.0 x 3
* Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
* RJ-45 (Ethernet 10/100/1000)
* Headphone/Mic Input Jacks
* SD/MMC/SDHC multimedia card reader
* VGA and HDMI Output
* Stereo Speakers
* 3.3 Pounds (with 6-cell battery installed)
* Removable 6 cell Li-ion battery
* 11.22? x 8.26? x 0,61-1.16? (dimensions)
* Windows 7 Home Professional (64-bit)
* Price (as tested): $ 579.99
* Price (beginning): $ 399.99
* 1-year warranty
If there is one thing a netbook (or ultraportable) needs to be really competitive, is the great battery life. Regardless of how large the software or hardware, an ultra-portable machine must great battery life to be truly useful in the field. X120e is a device which we are aware, in particular, close to the battery life. Remember, Fusion APUS was supposed to be more powerful than the Neo, while also improving on energy the brain drain.
The X100e which we peer last year succeeded in only about 2.1 hours life, while X120e (both of which use a 6-cell battery) is administered around 3.5 hours in the same test. We have seen reports that this machine will last even longer, if you turn off Wi-Fi and go easy on screen brightness, and we believe it Either way., more than 3 hours in constant use is pretty impressive, and it is a very real upgrade of X100e's battery life.
