Lenovo ThinkPad X1: Thin, Sturdy, and Fast

The technology press has lumped Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 into a growing category of Macbook Air competitors, but now that I’ve used one for awhile, I can tell you it doesn’t really belong there. Though the X1 is the thinnest ThinkPad ever, it is still considerably thicker and heavier than Apple’s razor-thin laptop. This isn’t to say that it’s thick or heavy (it isn’t) or that it is inferior to the Air or other superslim laptops like the Samsung Series 9. It’s just a different product for a different market: business travelers who like to travel light.

Lenovo says that the ThinkPad X1 is 0.65 inches thick and 3.8 pounds. Our measurements show it’s a little thicker than that at its thickest. Compare those numbers to the 2.3 pounds and tapered design of the Air that is 0.68 inches thick at its thickest and a mere 0.11 inches at the front edge. Just pick up the X1 and you’ll immediately recognize the difference. Lenovo’s laptop is thin and relatively light (for a ThinkPad), but let’s not get carried away.

Lenovo packs a lot of good stuff into this compact package. The whole system is extremely rugged, resisting our attempts to flex or bend it. The backlit island-style keyboard is not just a joy to type on, it’s spill-proof as well. In an interesting twist, Lenovo has equipped the X1 with a clickpad instead of a trackpad with discrete buttons. It’s a good compromise to get a larger touch area, and the texture and tracking of the pad is top-notch. For those that can’t give it up, you’ll still find the little eraser-nub pointer control between the G and H keys and a set of physical buttons between the clickpad and the spacebar. The base configuration includes a Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 320GB, 7200-rpm hard drive for $1199. Our test model came with a Core i5-2520M CPU, raising the price to $1304. This configuration earned a respectable score of 124 on WorldBench 6, putting it near the top of the ultraportables category. SSD drive options are also available, though costly.

At first glance, the ThinkPad X1 seems to be missing a lot of connectivity options, as you’ll only find a headset jack and a USB port under a small cover on the left edge and a card reader on the right edge. That’s because most of the ports are tucked away on the back of the laptop. There you’ll find a combo eSATA/USB port, a DisplayPort, an HDMI 1.4a port, a port for USB 3.0, and a covered SIM card slot for 3G connectivity. The 1366 by 768 display is bright and doesn’t shift too much as you change your viewing angle, but it is a little disappointing to see Lenovo opt for a glossy glass cover instead of the anti-reflective matte finish found on most ThinkPads. The built-in high-def Webcam functions surprisingly well in low light, and the audio is a lot louder and clearer than you’d expect from a laptop this small. Credit that to Lenovo’s licensing of Dolby Home Theater technology.

The Achilles’ heel of this slick business ultraportable is its anemic battery life. Apparently, the one thing Lenovo couldn’t really cram into this attractive black slab is a big enough battery. The nonremovable lithium polymer battery lasted only 3 hours, 41 minutes in our tests. You can double that with an external slice battery, but that’s a serious compromise. It adds nearly a pound, makes the system quite a bit thicker (covering the back half of the bottom of the system), and raises the price by $150. What’s the point of a thin and light laptop if you have to make it decidedly not thin and not light to get more than 4 hours of use out of it? At least it doesn’t take long to charge. Lenovo is proud of how quickly its battery charges, and rightly so. You can go from drained to 80 percent of full charge in around half an hour, and the system is smart enough to charge up the internal battery first, and to drain the slice battery first.

There’s a lot to love about the ThinkPad X1, even if it isn’t quite thin or light enough to rightly join the ranks of Macbook Air competitors. It looks and feels great, is a joy to work on, boots fast, remains responsive even when multitasking, and has a really nice display. The audio quality and the Webcam are a cut above average, as well. If you don’t need all-day battery life, it’s an excellent choice. It’s exactly the kind of thing a frequent-flyer businessman would want to stuff into his carry-on bag, provided he’ll use it for less than 4 hours at a time. For users that demand all-day battery life, the external battery slice effectively eliminates the sleek size and weight that makes the system such an attractive prospect in the first place.

BlackBerry PlayBook Review

It’s pretty crazy to think that only a little over one year ago Apple introduced the iPad. Previous attempts at best tablet computing by numerous companies had been complete failures. But Apple seemed to “get it” with the iPad and took the consumer electronics industry by storm, almost as they had done with the iPhone in 2007.

Just as Google responded to the iPhone with Android and more recently Honeycomb on the Motorola Xoom to battle the iPad, RIM wants a piece of the exploding tablet market as well. With mind share rapidly declining for their BlackBerry smartphones, RIM needs to reinvent themselves to take on the likes of Apple and Google – not only in the tablet space, but the smartphone space as well.

With the introduction of the PlayBook, RIM is hoping to start their comeback while at the same time introduce consumers to their next-gen smartphone OS – the QNX OS.

The PlayBook is packaged in a really nice box, just as with RIM’s unbranded BlackBerrys. You also get a nice sleeve case for the PlayBook along with a dedicated micro-USB charger (which we really appreciate), and a micro-USB cable.

The front of the PlayBook is very clean, with the BlackBerry logo and name visible. A speaker sits on either side of the display, creating a nice symmetric look to the device. There’s also a small LED (as customary for a BlackBerry) and a front facing camera atop the display. Oddly, the LED only lights up while the PlayBook is first booting – it is not used as a notification light throughout the OS as with BlackBerry smartphones. This is pretty disappointing, and we hope RIM goes back to using the LED notification light properly in a future OS update.

Around back is the rear-facing shooter along with a chrome BlackBerry logo. The back is coated with a soft-touch material, which is really quite nice. Up top there are two holes for mics, the 3.5mm headphone jack, and the only physical buttons to the whole tablet right in the middle. RIM includes dedicated volume up/down buttons, as well as a play/pause button in the middle. These buttons work quite nicely and are easy to toggle while using the PlayBook. We did find ourselves hitting the the buttons at times when picking up the PlayBook, but that wasn’t a big deal.

The fourth and final physical button sits right next to the aforementioned media buttons – the absolutely horrendous power button. Not only is the power button entirely too small to be of any real use, it’s also flush with the device making it extremely hard to use. An entirely too large amount of force is required when trying to active the power button since it’s too small, flush (almost recessed even), and gives hardly any tactile feedback. It would’ve been nice if RIM had included a paperclip in the box for us to push the power button with.

Along the bottom are three ports. One is a dedicated fast-charge port for use with the fast charger or charging dock. Another is a standard micro-USB port for standard charging and syncing with a computer. The third and final is a standard micro-HDMI port for connecting the PlayBook to a TV for movie watching or presentation giving (the PlayBook’s display is mirrored over HDMI by default).

Epson 840 Review

Just announced by Epson at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the Epson Workforce 840 All-in-One-Printer. It is designed to be used in home offices or with small businesses looking for a quick and reasonably-priced multifunction device. Upon first glance with its two standard paper trays it reminded us of Lexmark’s Platinum Pro 905 which costs about $50 less on Amazon as of this writing. We are not making a direct comparison of the two products, at least not quite yet.

The printer is reasonably quick with speeds of up to 15 ISO ppm for monochrome and 9.3 ISO ppm for color print jobs. It is not a small printer, especially having the second paper tray add a few inches of height. All in all, it measures 12.0 x 17.6” x 22.3” (HxWxD) in its printing configuration and weighs 22lbs. It has the ability to print, scan, copy, and fax all in one device which will help those with crowded workspaces conserve room.

One of the most convenient features of this Epson AIO is that on its 7.8” smart touch panel, only the buttons you need for the mode being used are lighted. As part of that panel you also get a 3.5” LCD screen (located right in the middle). It offers both built-in wireless or wired connectivity in addition to the standard USB 2.0. The wireless connectivity makes possible (via app) means to print directly from iPhones and a variety of other mobile devices. Lastly, located on the front of the machine are a USB port to transfer files to your PC and memory card slots for PC-free printing.

Paper handling on this machine is fairly solid. First off, there is a 30-page ADF located on the top of the machine for scans, copies and faxes. Second, which we have already alluded to somewhat, is the large paper capacity (500 sheets) shared between two standard trays. There is also room for 10 envelopes. The printer also features automatic two-sided printing so you or your business can save on paper where possible.

The ink setup for this printer is somewhat befuddling. We can appreciate the idea of a four-cartridge system with individual tanks for black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Epson boasts extra high-capacity cartridges along with this printer which is great. When one looks a little deeper for page yields though, all the website says is that the largest cartridges is that you get 50% more prints than a high-capacity cartridge. That’s well enough, but when you look at the high-capacity cartridges it is just as confusing because you supposedly get 50% more than standard capacity cartridges. Without those page yields, we prefer not to hazard a guess or suggest cost-per-page (cpp) comparisons with other brands/manufacturers of printers and/or ink.

Overall, we have no doubts about the quality of this Epson 840 device, just a few questions we wish would have been more easily addressed via their website. At worst, if you or your small business is in need of a device such as this, visit a store that sells both the printer and ink and do the math to see if the printing costs seem reasonable.

The 8500A Plus

In considering the Officejet Pro, it should be noted that the inkjet is not designed to serve a large office with heavy printing needs. With its 128MB of memory, which cannot be upgraded, and its 15,000-page monthly duty cycle, businesses with heavy printing volumes will likely want to look at higher-end laser multifunction offerings. But despite its limitations, the 8500A Plus should easily be able to handle the needs of most home office users, as well as those of small businesses that are not printing out telephone books on a daily basis.

While the 250-sheet capacity of the 8500A Plus‘ only standard paper tray should be sufficient for most users, some might be annoyed by the fact that if you want to print onto envelopes, photo paper, or any other special media, you’ll have to take out the plain paper and make adjustments to the tray’s feeder. Doing this once in a while is no big deal, of course. But those who go back and forth between different media types are going to tire of this pretty quickly. So if printing on multiple types of media is a concern, you might want to consider spending the extra $70 and opting for the 8500A Premium with its second 250-sheet tray … especially considering that HP sells the second tray as an accessory for the Plus for $80.

The 8500A Plus’ output tray, meanwhile, can hold up to 150 sheets and the automatic document feeder, as mentioned above, can hold up to 50 sheets. Given that there are much more expensive multifunction printers on the market that hold the same amounts, this is pretty impressive for a $330 printer. And equally impressive is that when we tested that ADF with jobs that went right up to that 50-page maximum, we didn’t experience a single misfeed or paper jam. Unlike our past history with many entry-level multifunctions, everything went in and came out as expected, without any unpleasant surprises.

Rounding out its features, the 8500A Plus comes with a duplexer, which is just one of its many eco-friendly features. Combined with its Energy Star certification and its claims of lower consumption of resources and energy, this makes the 8500A series the latest of a long string of environmentally friendly computer peripherals that we’ve looked at in recent months.
