Does anyone know if this notebook (AMD Neo Mv40 + ATI GPU) would be comparable to an old 1.4ghz apple ibook G4? I'm hoping that it is at least as fast as that, anybody know?]]>Mar 30th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/I have no idea how powerful that processor was, but it sounds old.

Mind you it wasn't all nirvana. After running windown updates out of the box, it stopped shutting down properly. I ended up updating the BIOS then resetting to factory defaults to finally get it to behave the way it's suppose to. Sometimes my eyes don't love the smaller screen but hey that's what Control-+ on Firefox is all about!

I seem to get better battery life than you. But it could be because I didn't change it out of Energy Saver mode. I get about 4 to almost 4 1/2 hours of battery life. I think the price is a wee bit higher than it should be, but I don't care. I love Thinkpads and this works for me! I was surprise I don't use the Trackpoint as much as I would have thought. I love trackpoints. But it could be because the keyboard is smaller the point feels like it's not in the spot my big jumbly fingers want it to be.]]>Mar 30th 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/
Netbook = long battery life, tend to be 10" or less, etc
X100e =/= long battery life, 10" or less screen, etc

Lenovo likes to call this a "hybrid" at least they do on youtube.

You aren't funny at all.

"NotePAD?! ewww... what were they thinking? Does it come with a MaxiPen too?! Lolz."

See? You can do it on anything with PAD in it. and it ISN't funny. Not at all.

Your comment is an epic failure.

I do have a concern with the article, however. It keeps trumpeting $550 everywhere, but doesn't mention what specs make it that. I have never seen it sold for more than $450. At least the base configuration.

My final point is that if this is anything like the DV2 it begs to be undervolted from AMDs aggressive voltage setting.]]>Mar 30th 2010 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/

IT issues the laptops so they get to choose hardware they want to support. None of our dev hardware uses VGA outputs, anyway. I would also suspect the long cable length might degrade or fry long-running adapters much like running a 50' DVI cable amusingly did to one of our machines. It's a hassle to get to the hidden VGA ports if you really, really need them (sometimes we have a crawlspace in the back).

Besides, HDMI repeaters/switchboxes are relatively easy to come by now. VGA versions of those almost always cause ghosting issues or have resolution limits unless you like spending more of your budget. And they rarely support remote control.

Thus, I find it frustrating that modern hardware omits a very inexpensive component which most other laptops of this type (the Neo/Radeon) have.]]>Mar 30th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/Mar 30th 2010 8:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/Mar 30th 2010 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/Mar 30th 2010 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/lenovo-thinkpad-x100e-review/
