ThinkPad x32 Review:
When you’re always on the go and swamped with projects, it is always nice to have a reliable laptop for company. The ThinkPad x32 is one of those notebooks that are tailor-made for heavy duty. Whether you’re a professional working on your sales report or a university student churning out term papers left and right, this laptop will help you along the way to accomplish your goals.
The Lenovo ThinkPad x32 is part of the x30 continuum. It may not be as appealing as the high-end x40 series, but it gets the job done just the same. Experts have been saying that this laptop is the lovechild of the T ThinkPad series and the X40 series. This is a backhanded way of saying that the x32 is somewhat lacking in identity. Nevertheless, the x32 is a topnotch laptop even by IBM’s standards.
One of the fascinating characteristics of the x32 is its slim built and portability. Weighing only 1.64 kg, you can carry it around without the risk of developing stiff neck and shoulders. Its 30mm height makes it easy for you to stuff it inside a very slim bag. If you look for ThinkPad x32 review, you will find out that people are unanimous in their praise for this laptop’s built.
The X32 has a nice juxtaposition of size and power. It is sleek and handy, and doesn’t compromise its performance. Take for example its video memory. While X40 has a shared memory, the X32 has a whooping 16MB Radeon that’s non-shared. On top of that, it has a 5400 RMP drive that surely trumps the nearest competition.
It’s Firewire connectivity isn’t bad either. Although this is not a popular option and is slowly being phased out, many people still prefer using the Firewire technology in transferring data and files. This might come handy when your USB port isn’t working well.
The X32 is powered by an Intel Pentium M Processor that allows the whole system to do different tasks without slowing down. You will surely appreciate the 1.6Ghz processor especially if you’re the type of who does all things at once. You can play your music while in the middle of doing graphics, or watch movies while some programs are running in the background. Its speed and performance are truly satisfying even for busiest person in town.
The wonderful thing about owning a ThinkPad R51 is that even if it goes out of style, it would still be useful by upgrading the drivers of every program that you’re using. If you need some sort of driver for a particular software, simply go to the IBM website and you will see plenty of ThinkPad x32 drivers for free.
About the ThinkPad x32 battery performance, you won’t be disappointed as its 6-cell battery has a life of up to 6 hours, depending on the usage. The heavier the activities are, the shorter the battery life will be. All in all, the x32 is a satisfying device both in design and performance.
