Lenovo ThinkPad X250 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad X250, a 12.5” business Ultrabook with plenty of ports and Lenovo’s Power Bridge battery system for long runtimes. The X250 is the refresh of the X240 and it moves up to Intel Broadwell 5th generation ULV dual Core CPUs and it has the revised trackpad with hardware buttons at the top for use with the TrackPoint. The ThinkPad X250 starts at $800, and a nicely configured model with a 2.2 GHz Intel Core i5, SSD and IPS display costs $1,100. The X250 is available with 4 different display options (1366 x 768, 1920 x 1080) with and without touch. All but the lowest display option are IPS and bright. You can get it with an HDD or SSD, 4 or 8 gigs of RAM and it has a backlit keyboard, dual band Intel 7265 WiFi 802.11ac with Bluetooth 4.0 and a 720p webcam. Ports are ample: two USB 3.0, Ethernet, mini DisplayPort, 3.5mm audio, SD card slot, optional SIM card slot for 4G LTE and VGA. ** Read our full written review here:
