At over three gigahertz and under 1.5 kilograms, the ThinkPad X201 sports an extremely thin and light design. The company has optimised the X201 and outclocks competitors in its class by 25 percent and includes Intel’s normal volt Core Processors while competitors offer low volt processors. The X201 also gets extremely long battery life with up to 11 hours.
In addition, Lenovo is also introducing four new Think-branded products: the ThinkPad X201s laptop, the thinnest and lightest ThinkPad; the X201 tablet; and the powerful W701 and W701ds mobile workstations.
Lenovo Australia and New Zealand’s Product and Marketing Director, Chris Kelly said, “We’re continuing to push the envelope on innovation to give our mobile customers faster, more powerful and smarter ThinkPad laptops. These PCs incorporate the latest computing technologies and extra Lenovo features to make the PC experience more simple and productive.”
