I really like my x120e. It’s small, yet powerful enough to do real work. As I was searching, my criteria were: dual-core processor, adequately-sized screen, reasonable amount of memory, and Windows 7 Home Premium or above.
Surprisingly, this limited my field a lot. The ThinkPad brand is synonymous with quality, and so I purchased this. I’m glad I did. This computer is sleek, and I’ve gotten a number of positive comments about it. The graphics is a nice bonus, and I’ve been able to successfully play several rounds of Starcraft 2 in full resolution (though the lowest settings).
Some things I didn’t mention:
-The power brick stays pretty cool for a power brick. That’s nice.
-Unfortunately, the power brick also has at least a couple of problems: The cord that goes from the brick to the wall is pretty short. It’s around an arm’s length long. Additionally, it very easily pulls out of the brick, which admittedly could be by design (to protect the brick in case of tripping), but seems bizarre.

|Best $500 Laptop Around. Replaced my Macbook Air,
Let me preface this review by saying that I have only had the x120e for about 24 hours. The short of it, is that the x120e is a fantastic laptop that should not even be mentioned when discussing or comparing, “netbooks.” The x120e has handled everything I have thrown at it so far from playing back 1080p .mts videos from my Panasonic camcorder (although I had to download the Shark007 codec package, use google to find it), having 6+ firefox tabs open along side of VLC playing mp3s, and working in Microsoft word and excel at the same time. Many have even been gaming on it with Modern Warfare 2 running in the 20 fps range. Steam games like team fortress 2 run great on it. Do a search on youtube to check some of them out.
As others have mentioned it might be worth upgrading the hard drive to an SSD, I might do that in a month or so, but a cheap upgrade is the ram. You can get an 8gm ram kit off amazon for $50.
And I will be honest, I am replacing a 13″ Macbook air (mid 2010) that my friend wanted to buy off of me. The x120e does all I need it to do, I was even able to edit some audio in adobe audition 5.5!
Aesthetically, the x120e is a very sleek, although not flashy, machine. Yes, it is thicker than the air, by about 2.5 times, but it doesn’t matter. The length and width are identical (except the batter sticks out a little).
Finally, it comes loaded with Windows 7 Pro which will be great for business folks. Windows 7 is really a great operating system and goes toe to toe with OSX.
In a few months I will come back and update the review with further thoughts.
UPDATE______
A week in and the x120e is still handling everything I throw at it. Even played some Unreal 2004 on it on high settings at 40ish FPS outputted to my asus 23″ monitor.
I will say that I also bought a Lenovo Ideapad s205. It has the same components, just a slimmer design, and is more consumer friendly.

|The best netbook out there,
Many would argue it is a full fledged small laptop, in fact I consider it a cross with the best of both worlds. I upgraded the hard drive to an solid state drive and with the dual 64 bit processors and 4 GB of RAM upgradable to a whopping 8 this little sucker kicks serious ass. Anyone who wants a netbook with the power of a laptop this machine is the one. Add the solid state drive that is easily installed from the bottom of the machine, easy access to the memory as well you will have a machine that simply flys!
