Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Review (with battery slice 39+)

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a first-person shooter video game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It was a huge seller, as expected and is the seventh game in the Call Of Duty series. The game runs on an enhanced World at War engine (which itself was improved from Call of Duty 4‘s) at 60 frames per second on consoles. It features a streaming texture technology (also seen in Modern Warfare 2), making bigger levels possible such as “Payback” where the player controls a helicopter. Lighting effects have been improved as well.

Again, at 720p with image quality lowered, the ThinkPad X1 struggles to power this engine. A situation made worse with the single channel memory configuration of the machine. We wouldn't class this as playable either, unfortunately.

  1. That is seriously impressive. Its fairly expensive, but with all the work and materials involved I wouldnt mind paying it.

    Surprised about the keyboard being that good, most laptop keyboards suck ass.

  2. Fantastic. looks ideal for my business needs. No need to worry about a discrete card.

    Great to see lenovo aiming a little higher. most of their machines are budget oriented

  3. backlighted keyboard, I wish more manufacturers would use them. my mates mac has one and i love it.

  4. Yeah thats what a call a good laptop. Tginkpad always had brilliant keyboards, good to see lenovo didnt cock it up

  5. Whats milspec? Some kind of rugged standard?

  6. We bought five of these for work and they are really good. Ideal for travelling as they can take a fair bit of abuse.

    Battery slice is very costly however and needed for anything serious on the move.

  7. Shame its not an ips screen. Some other thinkpads use those.

  8. I know there were some battery issues with this initially, but I think a bios update has sorted it. This is a heck of a nice machine for most people (excluding gamers).

  9. Such a shame they went for a single memory slot, and therefore single channel. Understandable for a netbook, but for a 1000+ machine? I know space is at a premium, but SODIMM slots can be stacked or placed beside each other, I cant see how this couldnt be done.

  10. really looks cool! no doubt about it but im looking for a mid-high range laptop just like this
