Lenovo ThinkPad X100e: Powerful Netbook with Anemic Battery Life

Lenovo ThinkPad X100e

Here is the new Lenovo ThinkPad X100e netbook. It's faster than most netbooks, with a larger, higher-resolution screen; a spacious keyboard; and a bigger hard drive than you'll usually find in laptops. The machines start at $499, and the configuration we reviewed costs $599.

it's in red & black, if you associate red with speedy sports cars, the X100e won't disappoint. With its Athlon Neo MV-40 processor and 2GB of RAM, this ThinkPad scored a 52 on WorldBench 6, a screaming speed for netbooks. I didn't notice any drag in opening and switching between applications, fiddling with Windows controls, or browsing the Web.
