New ThinkPad X230

Traditionally when buying a laptop you think all that you need to worry about is the performance hardware that’s inside the mobile computer. However one soon realizes after making a few laptop purchases that there are many other things to consider when buying a new laptop. Things like battery life, overall build quality, and display quality can trump raw performance in quite a few use cases when it comes to laptop computers.

Luckily for you and anyone who wants it all –strong performance, battery life, build quality and great quality displays– Lenovo has created the new 12.5-inch Lenovo ThinkPad X230 laptop computer.

The classic Red TrackPoint is still being used in the new X230 laptops.
