The plastic is cheaper, there’s no roll cage, no dock option, the X120e is fairly thick, and the entire thing feels like a netbook. As far as I am concerned, these are such a clearly better purchase than the X120e, that it is simply no contest. There are always X60 and X61 ThinkPads on eBay for under $400. While it is true that the X61 that I’m typing this on was originally a $2000 machine and the X120e was $589 as configured, I bought the X61 for $350 on eBay, and this is a completely normal price.
The overall design is cheaper than every other ThinkPad I have owned. The X120e fan is always running and is quite a bit louder than my other ThinkPads under load. The X61, with an SSD, is silent under light load. Lenovo support drivers x120e Bluetooth#
There’s no fingerprint reader, and Bluetooth is an optional module. For me, if it doesn’t have a ThinkPad Light, it’s not a ThinkPad. It has no ThinkPad Light, and no backlit keyboard. Specifically, it is missing common keys (such as ScrLck), it has no CapsLk light, no dedicated volume keys, and the overall feel of it is much cheaper. The keyboard, while spacious for a netbook, pales in comparison to every other X-series keyboard available. Having used ThinkPads since the A30, I expect certain things with the ThinkPad name. However, it is a very low-quality ThinkPad. The Lenovo ThinkPad X120e is a fairly high-quality netbook. Like the X120e, the low-end MBA is an 11″ dual-core system with 2GB of RAM. After all, a slightly under-specd 11″ MacBook Air is my current favourite all-around machine. Having read the initial poor reviews of the X100e and then the subsequent overwhelmingly positive reviews of the X120e, I felt it was time to take the plunge. I liked the X120e in principal because the X2xx series that have replaced the X6x line are much larger and heavier than the older sub-3lb ThinkPad X machines. I tend to avoid ebay for long-term day-to-day work machines, so thought the X120e would make an excellent work machine. Both of the Xs, from ebay for $150 and $340 respectively, belong to me personally. Lenovo support drivers x120e full#
The X40 is as small and light as they come, the X61 is marginally bigger is blazingly fast, and is almost as light with a full 2.5″ SATA drive.
Of these, the X40 and X61 are my favourites. Between work and home I own and use on a daily basis the following ThinkPads: X40, X61, T60, R50p.
Among these, my consistent favourites have been ThinkPads, Apple machines, and HP’s EliteBooks.
In my role their, I have used many, many machines. I’m a Systems Specialist at the School of Computing at Queen’s University.
