Thinkpad X230 based on Intel Ivy Bridge (3rd generation) platform which meets OpenCL 1.2 specification. Unfortunately GPU support in Linux is broken, so AUR and AUR will not work. Use CPU-only AUR instead.

X230 in UEFI-non-CSM mode installed with EFISTUB on SSD disk boots into display manager in less than 25 seconds. Small ESP (100 MiB fat32) also supported.

I found a decent deal on a Lenovo X240 and found it had no HD and no memory. I found online the specifications for the memory and ordered the “Crucial 8GB (1x8GB) DDR3 RAM 1600MHz PC3L-12800 laptop Memory CT102464BF160B” for and installed a 256GB Samsung SSD drive I had already.

Since I don’t have a power supply with the plug needed, I found Lenovo makes an adapter for the older yellow style barrel plugs and ordered one of those and just received.

I plugged in the laptop with the 135W 20V Lenovo power supply and all I saw is the green LED turn on at the power button and the keyboard backlight flashes once and sounds like the fan is turning. The Fn LED flashes once green and stays green for about 4 seconds and then stays off. The red LED on the top of the screen “I” in Thinkpad stays lit red.

I did the same with the 90W 20V Lenovo power supply though noticed the red LED on the top of the screen “I” in Thinkpad blinked red 3 times when plugging in the power supply and not even powering on or doing anything else.

From afar the Lenovo ThinkPad X230 looks similar to many other preceding ThinkPad products. It is ruggedly built and wrapped in the same matte black as all other ThinkPads past and present (with the exception of the Edge, which is available in red).

Look more closely, however, and you’ll find that this is an important product both for Lenovo and for anyone looking to buy a laptop. The new X230, like all revised ThinkPads, comes equipped with a Chiclet-style keyboard. After years of holding on to the old beveled design, Lenovo has finally decided that it’s time to move to a more modern design. Many ThinkPad enthusiasts buy them because of keyboard quality. Changing a time-tested design is a risky move.

All other specifications are normal. There’s 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive. Graphics come courtesy of Intel HD 4000. This is Lenovo’s flagship ultraportable, but this particular review configuration is far from the most expensive version. We expect it to come in at around $1,200 when it hits retailers and Lenovo’s site.

The ThinkPad X230 is classic Lenovo – matte black, basic, rugged. There’s nothing about it that’s striking besides the size of the laptop. The 12.5-inch display implies that this laptop is not going to be large, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Because of its thin display bezels and small chassis the ThinkPad X230 is hard to distinguish from most 11.6-inch and 12.1-inch laptops with a glance.

Don’t look at the X230 with the impression that this is an Ultrabook. It’s not. There are Ultrabooks that are thinner and lighter, but don’t offer the same level of quality as the X230. The X-series is still a unique product. There’s no other laptop of similar size that offers equivalent build quality.

Lenovo’s decision to start pushing Chiclet-style keyboards across the ThinkPad line is not without precedent. The company already offered this style of keyboard on the ThinkPad Edge, and it was well received.

Part of the reason for this warm welcome is the unusual design of the keyboard. Most of this style use flat keys, but Lenovo gives each key a subtle indent. In addition, the keys are not perfectly square but instead are curved along the bottom. The impact of these small changes is difficult to overstate. Touch-typing is a breeze even for the most jaded user.

Switching to the Chiclet keyboard allows Lenovo to add backlighting, a feature it was sorely lacking. The backlight available on the X230 is bright and the keys don’t allow much light leakage. ThinkPad enthusiasts will be happy to hear that the company still offers the ThinkLight, a small LED lamp built in to the top of the display that can illuminate the keyboard and its surroundings.

Does this mean the new keyboard is better than the old design? No. We don’t think it’s worse, either. It’s just different. We loved the old keyboards, but we love this one, too. Our only regret is the fact that Lenovo’s switch means there’s no longer any quality beveled keyboards on the market. It’s the end of an era.

The ThinkPad X230 includes a display that we’ve never encountered before. Lenovo calls it “FlexView” and it consists of a semi-gloss coating on a 1366 x 768 display panel that is tailored for optimal viewing angles. It’s a gimmick that works – the viewing angles on this laptop are astonishing. Text is perfectly readable up to the moment that the laptop’s lid is closed and there’s little change in color quality even when the screen is viewed at a significant vertical angle.

Sound quality is adequate. There’s little distortion even at maximum volume, but this is because the volume is never loud and there’s never any bass to speak of. You can certainly get by with what the X230 has to offer if you’re on the road and left your headphones at home, but most users should plan on buying a pair of headphones or portable external speakers.

The ThinkPad X230 is an extraordinarily mundane laptop when left at idle or operated at low levels of load. Intel’s focus on power efficiency results in external temperatures that rarely exceed 85 degrees Fahrenheit and sometimes dip into the high 70s. Almost no fan noise is required to offer this, so you can use this laptop in a dead-quiet office without distracting yourself or anyone else.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X series has always been about portability, and the new X230 does nothing to change that theme. It feels exceptionally small and light-in hand. Comparisons to large netbooks seem more apt than comparisons to traditional ultraportables. Even some Ultrabooks feel a bit bulky by comparison, though the X230 is technically not thin enough to qualify for that moniker.

The benefit of a large battery is endurance. In the Battery Eater test the X230 lasted two hours and one minute, while the light-duty reader’s test resulted in eight hours and two minutes of life. These results are among the best we’ve ever recorded. Only the Asus U36 and the HP dm1z last longer without an optional extend-life battery.

Lenovo is one of the few companies that continually offer potentially useful software with its products. The company calls this ThinkVantage and it covers a variety of utilities.

There are a few stinkers. The Lenovo App Store, for example, seems silly. Why have an app store just for Lenovo laptops? Is it necessary? Does anyone really buy from it? And why does the ThinkVantage button bring up an interface that looks like it was designed for a touchscreen device?

The ThinkPad X230 packs a new third-generation Intel Core i5-3320M processor. This is a dual-core part with Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading that lands in the middle of Intel’s lineup (the components we know of so far, at least). It would not be unusual in a mainstream 15.6-inch laptop, but it is a bit unusual here. Most laptops of this size use either a processor that is oriented towards netbooks (like an Atom or AMD E-Series) or a low-voltage version of a processor found in larger products.

The use of a normal Core i5 makes the X230 an impressive performer for its size. SiSoft Sandra’s Processor Arithmetic benchmark reported a combined score of 52.77, which is an improvement of about 20 percent over the second-generation Core i5 and the fastest score we’ve ever recorded from any dual-core laptop. 7-Zip reported a similar situation by returning a combined score of 9,128. That is once again the best result we’ve received from a dual-core laptop.

PCMark7 also had nice things to say about the X230 and reached a final score of 3,295. Some other laptops have scored higher, but they were equipped with solid state hard drives, which PCMark7 favors. This laptop’s score is the highest we’ve seen from a laptop with a traditional mechanical drive.

Lenovo’s X series has always been unique. HP’s Elitebook line offers the only real competition, but we’ve favored the ThinkPad in the past. This new model gives us no reason to change our recommendation. The X230 is the perfect laptop for a road warrior. Its keyboard is unusually spacious, endurance is excellent and the display is easy to use in almost any scenario imaginable.

So the X230 is small, fast, portable, and pleasing to use. What’s the catch? Price. This model is expected to hit store shelves at around $1,200. If you pay attention to Lenovo’s frequent sales and coupon codes you may be able to snag one for $1,100 a few months from now, but that’s still a fair chunk of change. It’s worth the price – we think this laptop is a heck of a good value, in fact – but over a grand is a lot to spend on a 12.5-inch laptop. Consider your needs carefully before taking the plunge.

Lenovo"s ThinkPad notebooks are a must for any self-respecting businessman. The company has proven time and again that it can design and create laptops which fulfill the needs of on-the-go professionals, and, as such, it is not surprising that many large corporations, as well as private businesses, use ThinkPad models for work. Lenovo"s new model, the X220, has stirred up quite a bit of excitement thanks to the available IPS display. This is a significant addition as usually ThinkPad laptops have displays which are weak in contrast and have poor color depth. That"s not the only improvement: Lenovo has equipped it"s latest model with top-of-the-line hardware. So the X220 is available with an Intel Core i7-2620M CPU, USB 3.0 interface, internal UMTS, mSata SSD, and a long 23 hour battery life. In short, a dream comes true for professionals who demand performance...well it would be, if Lenovo could actually fit all those components into the ThinkPad X220. Sadly, the buyer will have to make a few compromises. Customers will have to choose between an internal UMTS module or an mSata SSD, and the extremely fast USB 3.0 is only offered with the Core i7 models. The low weight of 1.3 kg will also require the sacrifice of the large capacity battery which delivers such incredibly long battery life. The prices for the X220 start from 950 Euros (650,- Euro EDU) and go up to 2300 Euros (Core i7, SSD). The laptop can be configured by the buyer in Lenovo"s "Online shop", where the basic configuration costs is 1150 Euros. The IPS display requires an additional 40 Euros.

The rough, black and grey synthetic material surface is standard for ThinkPad models. These professional notebooks do not sport any glossy surfaces, chrome plating or distracting designs. The few features which stand out, such as the big metal hinges, which connect the display with the base unit, or the red "TrackPoint", placed in the middle of the keyboard, fit into the modest design well. ThinkPad models are extremely conservative and usually have a very plain exterior. This trend is noticeable in the X220 as well. After all, a simple design is something most businessmen and professionals value very highly in a business notebook. Looks are not everything. Lenovo knows that the quality of the workmanship and the material used are equally important. Thankfully, ThinkPads have enjoyed a good reputation since the IBM times thanks to their attention to detail. The X220 offers a resistant chassis, which has an above-average resistance (supposedly tested by Lenovo MIL-SPEC). The bottom of the notebook as well as the hand-rest regions are also very good. The battery sits securely in its slot, and even the display and its hinges leave no room for critique. The overall stable display does not allow any alterations to the displayed picture regardless of how much pressure is applied to the display borders and the display case.

Standard business ports are a must even for a 12.5 inch notebook like the X220. Lenovo understands this well and, thus, offers two monitor interfaces (Displayport and VGA), a docking port interface, a Kensington lock and a fingerprint reader. These ports will definitely please business users. The laptop also offers three USB 2.0 ports, a combined headphone/microphone interface, a Gigabit-LAN port, an ExpressCard/54 slot and a card reader. A

UMTS is not installed in our test model. However, this can be easily remedied with a quick, manual installation. As usual, Lenovo has set up an online picture guide for the X220 which indicates the steps the user will have to follow to reach and install a module in the empty slot ("Hardware Maintenance Manual"). Users who own an older ThinkPad model might decide to swap out the old WWAN module and install it into their new X220. We tried to do just that with an original Lenovo FRU 43Y6513 Ericsson 3507g. However, our experiment was stonewalled when the BIOS refused to accept the old WWAN module. As such, if users desire a UMTS module, they will have to buy the recommended Ericsson F5521gw module (circa 100 Euros). But, the installation of a UMTS module in the empty slot will mean that a mSata SSD can no longer be placed in that slot. If both features are necessary, then we recommend the purchase of a UMTS USB stick or ExpressCard.

There are a few different battery models available for the X220 and we will discuss them in more detail in the "Battery Life" section. Lenovo offers an arsenal of accessories for their latest model: ranging from various mouses to hard disks with security codes to a well-equipped docking station. The ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (4338-10U) docking station offers(among other ports): 2xDVI, 2xDisplayPort and eSata. The docking station is available for circa 160 Euros. The entire list of accessories is available on the Lenovo homepage.

The panel of the X220 is produced by LG Philips and offers a maximum brightness of 265 cd/m². We calculated a great illuminationof 93% with an additional 8 points (at which we measured values ranging from 246 cd/m² to 262 cd/m²). The brightness level can be set at 15 different levels which starts from 4 cd/m² and goes up to 148 cd/m². From this level (level 13), the user can increase the brightness up to the maximum, which is however, just like in the ThinkPad W520, not the brightness level promised by Lenovo (300 nits).

This makes the IPS display one of the best displays available for notebooks right now. This great display is available in the Lenovo "Online Shop" for an incredibly low premium - a mere 40 Euros extra. Hopefully, this is the first step on the road to better displays for all laptops.

A specialty of the new Sandy Bridge generation processors is the Quick-Sync Video feature. This is an integrated hardware accelerator which decreases the stress on the CPU during video conversions. Even Nvidia"s CUDA engine on the Quadro 2000M was beaten by Quick-Sync (in our review of Lenovo ThinkPad W520). We tested the X220 with Badaboom 2 by converting our test video, "Seven", from DVD to MP4 (compatible with iPhone) with a resolution 427x320 pixels. The result of 115 fps (Quick-Sync) might not have been as fast as that of the W520 (225 fps), but all older CUDA systems would have been beaten by it. The CPU load with Quick-Sync was around 51%, whereas without Quick-Sync (only CPU) the load shot above 90% (150 fps).

The storage device can be easily swapped out thanks to its easily accessible panel. Careful! Lenovo uses especially flat 7 mm storage devices for the X220. Two rubber covers are added which reduce the vibration of the device and also increase the total height of the storage device to 9 mm. Any bigger drives will not fit into the X220, so, for example, the conventional 9.5 mm hard disks or SSDs can not be installed. This means that the latest SSDs such as OCZ Vertex 3 or the Intel 510 series are not valid candidates as storage replacements for the ThinkPad X220.

Thankfully, Lenovo has released BIOS version 1.16 which returns to the original cooler fan behavior. In office use or while surfing on the internet, the laptop cooler fan is very quiet at level 1 which is barely audible. A sudden increase or decrease of the fan speed or high noise emissions were not noticeable in our test.

The different battery models available for the X220 are guaranteed to give the user a great degree of flexibility. The small 3-cell battery with a 28 Wh capacity (0A36281) is the lightest of all the models. The 6-cell battery with a 63 Wh capacity (0A36282 - in our delivery), offers a good compromise between battery life and weight. Longer run times are possible with the 9-cell battery (0A36283 - capacity of 100 Wh) which when combined with the docking 6-cell battery (0A36280 - capacity of 64 Wh) should deliver the maximum 23 hours run time (according to Lenovo"s webpage).

The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 may not be perfect, but it is a well-designed laptop with the typical ThinkPad "flair". The notebook offers good mobility and the latest hardware - a combination hard to resist. So we can safely say that the Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is an attractive deal.

Finally, we commend Lenovo for its great HD Premium display (IPS panel). The values of the display are far above that of an average panel. So, brightness, contrast ratio and viewing angle stability are all great, and combined with the anti-glare coating, the screen can display materials better than most other laptops can.

Lenovo Thinkpad X230 came with IPS and NON IPS both types of panels. We are referencing part numbers in product title. Make sure you match up LCD part number , You can not mix and match IPS screen with Non IPS LCD. Please match your original screen"s BACKLIGHT TYPE, SIZE, and RESOLUTION before you purchase this item, because some laptop models come with more than one type of screens.

ThinkPad is a line of business-oriented laptop computers and tablets designed, developed and marketed by Lenovo, and formerly by IBM until 2005, when IBM"s PC business was acquired by Lenovo.trackpoint on the keyboard, which has become an iconic and distinctive design characteristic associated with the ThinkPad line.

The ThinkPad was developed to compete with Toshiba and Compaq, who had created the first two portable notebooks, with an emphasis on sales to the Harvard Business School. The task of creating a notebook was given to the Yamato Facility in Japan, headed by Arimasa Naitoh(内藤在正, Naitō Arimasa, now Lenovo Fellow and vice president of Lenovo"s PC and Smart Devices business unit),

In 2005, Lenovo purchased the IBM personal computer business and the ThinkPad as a flagship brand along with it. Speaking about the purchase of IBM"s personal computer division, Lenovo founder Liu Chuanzhi said, "We benefited in three ways from the IBM acquisition. We got the ThinkPad brand, IBM"s more advanced PC manufacturing technology and the company"s international resources, such as its global sales channels and operation teams. These three elements have shored up our sales revenue in the past several years."

Although Lenovo acquired the right to use the IBM brand name for five years after its acquisition of IBM"s personal computer business, Lenovo only used it for three years. Today Lenovo manufactures and markets Think-branded products while IBM is mostly responsible for overseeing servicing and repairs for the Think line of products produced by Lenovo. Both IBM and Lenovo play a key role in the design of their "Think" branded products.

The majority of ThinkPad computers since the 2005 acquisition of the brand by Lenovo have been made in Mexico, Slovakia, India and China. Lenovo also employs ~300 people at a combined manufacturing and distribution centre near its American headquarters. Each device made in this facility is labelled with a red-white-and-blue sticker proclaiming "Whitsett, North Carolina."

The design language of the ThinkPad has remained very similar throughout the entire lifetime of the brand. Almost all models are solid black inside and out, with a boxy, right-angled external case design. Some newer Lenovo models incorporate more curved surfaces in their design. Many ThinkPads have incorporated magnesium, carbon fiber reinforced plastic or titanium into their chassis.

The industrial design concept was created in 1990 by Italy-based designer Richard Sapper, a corporate design consultant of IBM and, since 2005, Lenovo.

Earlier known as "IBM Access", later "ThinkVantage", the Lenovo Vantage is a suite of computer management applications. This software can give additional support for system management (backup, encrypting, system drivers installation and upgrade, system monitoring and others). Currently some old features have been replaced by internal Windows 10 features.

External keyboard light, replaced by internal backlight; is an LED light located at the top of the LCD screen which illuminates the keyboard from above.

The keyboard design was replaced by the Chiclet style keyboard (2012-current) — The keyboard adopted by Lenovo in 2012 over the original IBM keyboard design. And does not support the ThinkLight to illuminate the keyboard, instead using a keyboard backlight. (Some ThinkPad models during the intermission period between the classic IBM design and the Lenovo chiclet design could be outfitted with both the backlit chiclet style keyboard and the ThinkLight.)

Some Lenovo laptops (such as the X230, W530 and T430) block third-party batteries. Lenovo calls this feature "Battery Safeguard". It was first introduced on some models in May 2012. Laptops with this feature scan for security chips that only ThinkPad-branded batteries contain. Affected ThinkPads flash a message stating "Genuine Lenovo Battery Not Attached" when third-party batteries are used, and the battery will not charge.

IBM took its first steps toward ThinkPads with an alternative operating system, when they quietly certified the 390 model for SUSE Linux in November 1998.Linux-based unit with the ThinkPad A20m in July 2000. This model, along with the closely-released A21m, T21 and T22 models, came preinstalled with Caldera OpenLinux.Red Hat Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise, and Turbolinux by means of customer installations on A30, A30p, A31p models. This continued through the Lenovo transition with the T60p, until September 2007.

In 2020, Lenovo shifted into much heavier support of Linux when they announced the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8, the P1 Gen 2, and the P53 would come with Fedora Linux as an option.P series lineup.

The ThinkPad Yoga is an Ultrabook-class convertible device that functions as both a laptop and tablet computer. The Yoga gets its name from the consumer-oriented IdeaPad Yoga line of computers with the same form factor. The ThinkPad Yoga has a backlit keyboard that flattens when flipped into tablet mode. This was accomplished on 1st generation X1 Yoga with a platform surrounding the keys that rises until level with the keyboard buttons, a locking mechanism that prevents key presses, and feet that pop out to prevent the keyboard from directly resting on flat surfaces. On later X1 Yoga generations, the keys themselves retract in the chassis, so the computer rests on fixed small pads. Touchpad is disabled in this configuration. Lenovo implemented this design in response to complaints about its earlier Yoga 13 and 11 models being awkward to use in tablet mode. A reinforced hinge was required to implement this design. Other than its convertible form factor, the ThinkPad Yoga retains standard ThinkPad features such as a black magnesium-reinforced chassis, island keyboard, a red TrackPoint, and a large touchpad.

In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the ThinkPad, Lenovo held a large party in New York where it announced several products, including the Tablet 2. Lenovo says that the ThinkPad Tablet 2 will be available on 28 October 2012 when Windows 8 is released.Windows 8 Professional operating system. It will be able to run any desktop software compatible with this version of Windows.

Announced in May 2014, Lenovo ThinkPad 10 is a successor to the ThinkPad Tablet 2 and was scheduled to launch in the summer of 2014 along with accessories such as a docking station and external detachable magnetic keyboards. It used Windows 8.1 Pro as its operating system. It was available in 64 and 128GB variants with 1.6GHz quad-core Intel Atom Baytrail processor and 2GB or 4GB of RAM. It optionally supported both 3G and 4G (LTE). Display resolution was announced to be 1920 × 1200, paired with a stylus pen.

The E Series is a low-cost ThinkPad line, designed for small business mass-market requirements, and currently contains only a 14" and 15" sub-lines. The E Series line of laptops replaced Lenovo"s Edge Series, but somewhere (in some countries) currently (May 2019) offered as both of "Thinkpad Edge/E series" names. The E series also lack metals like magnesium and carbon fibre in their construction which other members of the ThinkPad family enjoy.

The T series historically had high-end features, such as magnesium alloy roll-cages, high-density IPS screens known as FlexView (discontinued after the T60 series), 7-row keyboards, screen latches, the Lenovo UltraBay, and ThinkLight. Models included both 14.1-inch and 15.4-inch displays available in 4:3 and 16:10 aspect ratios.

The Tx20 series ThinkPads came in two editions: 15" (T520) or a 14" (T420). These are the last ThinkPads to use the classic 7-row keyboard, with the exception of the Lenovo ThinkPad 25th anniversary edition released on Oct. 5, 2017, which was based on the ThinkPad T470.

The mainstream current "workhorse" models is a X13 and X13 Yoga, the 13" successors of the classic discontinued 12" line of Lenovo X Series ThinkPads.

Discontinued mainstream lines such as the 12" X200(s), X201(s), and X220 models could be ordered with all of the high-end ThinkPad features (like Trackpoint, ThinkLight, a 7-row keyboard, a docking port, hot-swappable HDD, solid magnesium case and optional slice battery). The discontinued 12.5" X220 and X230 still featured a roll cage, a ThinkLight, and an optional premium IPS display (the first IPS display on a non-tablet ThinkPad since the T60p), but the 7-row keyboard was offered only with the X220. However, it lacked the lid latch mechanism which was present on the previous X200 and X201 versions. The discontinued slim 12" line contained only X200s and X201s with low power CPUs and high resolution displays, and X230s with low power CPUs. The 12.5" X series ThinkPads (such as X240 and later) had a more simplified design, and last 12" X280 model had only the Trackpoint feature, partially magnesium case and simplified docking port.

The P Series line of laptops replaced Lenovo"s W Series and reintroduced 17" screens to the ThinkPad line. The P Series (excluding models with "s" suffix) is designed for engineers, architects, animators, etc. and comes with a variety of "high-end" options. All P Series models come included with fingerprint readers. The ThinkPad P Series includes features such as dedicated magnesium roll cages, more indicator LED lights, and high-resolution displays.

An external USB 3.0/2.0 hard drive that was designed by Lenovo in 2009. It requires the input of a 4 digit PIN to access data and this can be set by the user.

The 600-series (600, 600E, and 600X) are the direct predecessors of the T series. The 600-series packed a 12.1 in (310 mm) SVGA or a 13.3 in (340 mm) XGA TFT LCD, Pentium MMX, Pentium II or III processor, full-sized keyboard, and optical bay into a package weighing roughly 5 lb (2.3 kg). IBM was able to create this light, fully featured machine by using lightweight but strong carbon fiber composite plastics. The battery shipped with some 600-series models had a manufacturing defect that left it vulnerable to memory effect and resulted in poor battery life, but this problem can be avoided by use of a third-party battery.

This model was initially known inside of Lenovo as the "Scout". This was the name of the horse ridden by Tonto, the sidekick from the 1950s television series The Lone Ranger. Lenovo envisioned the Scout as a very high-end ThinkPad that would be analogous to a luxury car. Each unit was covered in fine leather embossed with its owners initials. Extensive market research was conducted on how consumers would perceive this form factor. It was determined that they appreciated that it emphasised warmth, nature, and human relations over technology. The Scout was soon renamed the ThinkPad Reserve Edition. It came bundled with premium services including a dedicated 24-hour technical support hotline that would be answered immediately. It was released in 2007 and sold for $5,000 in the United States.

The W-series laptops were introduced by Lenovo as workstation-class laptops with their own letter designation, a descendant of prior ThinkPad T series models suffixed with "p" (e.g. T61p), and are geared towards CAD users, photographers, power users, and others, who need a high-performance system for demanding tasks. The W-series laptops were launched in 2008, at the same time as the Intel Centrino 2, marking an overhaul of Lenovo"s product lineup. The first two W-series laptops introduced were the W500 and the W700.

Previously available were the W7xx series (17" widescreen model), the W500 (15.4" 16:10 ratio model), the W510 (15.6" 16:9 ratio model), and W520 (15.6" 16:9 ratio model). The W700DS and the W701DS both had two displays: a 17" main LCD and a 10" slide-out secondary LCD. The W7xx series were also available with a Wacom digitizer built into the palm rest. These high-performance workstation models offered more high-end components, such as quad core CPUs and higher-end workstation graphics compared to the T-series, and were the most powerful ThinkPad laptops available. Until the W540, they retained the ThinkLight, UltraBay, roll cage, and lid latch found on the T-series. The W540 release marked the end of the lid latch, ThinkLight, and hot-swappable UltraBays found in earlier models.

The ThinkPad W-series laptops from Lenovo are described by the manufacturer as being "mobile workstations", and suit that description by being physically on the larger side of the laptop spectrum, with screens ranging from 15" to 17" in size. Most W-series laptops offer high-end quad-core Intel processors with an integrated GPU as well as an Nvidia Quadro discrete GPU, utilizing Nvidia Optimus to switch between the two GPUs as required. Notable exceptions are the W500, which has ATI FireGL integrated workstation-class graphics, and the W550s, which is an Ultrabook-specification laptop with only a dual-core processor. The W-series laptops offer ISV certifications from various vendors such as Adobe Systems and Autodesk for CAD and 3D modeling software.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Twist (S230u) is a laptop/tablet computer hybrid aimed at high-end users. The Twist gets its name from its screen"s ability to twist in a manner that converts the device into a tablet. The Twist has a 12.5" screen and makes use of Intel"s Core i7 processor and SSD technology in lieu of a hard drive.

In a review for Engadget Dana Wollman wrote, "Lately, we feel like all of our reviews of Windows 8 convertibles end the same way. The ThinkPad Twist has plenty going for it: a bright IPS display, a good port selection, an affordable price and an unrivaled typing experience. Like ThinkPads past, it also offers some useful software features for businesses lacking dedicated IT departments. All good things, but what"s a road warrior to do when the battery barely lasts four hours? Something tells us the Twist will still appeal to Lenovo loyalists, folks who trust ThinkPad"s build quality and wouldn"t be caught dead using any other keyboard. If you"re more brand-agnostic, though, there are other Windows 8 convertibles with comfortable keyboards – not to mention, sharper screens, faster performance and longer battery life."

In a review published in Forbes Jason Evangelho wrote, "The first laptop I owned was a ThinkPad T20, and the next one may very likely be the ThinkPad Helix which Lenovo unveiled at CES 2013. In a sea of touch-inspired Windows 8 hardware, it"s the first ultrabook convertible with a form factor that gets everything right. The first batch of Windows 8 ultrabooks get high marks for their inspired designs, but aren"t quite flexible enough to truly be BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) solutions. Lenovo"s own IdeaPad Yoga came close, but the sensation of feeling the keyboard underneath your fingers when transformed into tablet mode was slightly jarring. Dell"s XPS 12 solved that problem with its clever rotating hinge design, but I wanted the ability to remove the tablet display entirely from both of those products."

Lenovo released the 25th anniversary Retro ThinkPad 25 in October 2017. The model is based on the T470, the difference being it having the 7-Row "Classic" keyboard with the layout found on the −20 Series, and the logo received a splash of colour reminiscent of the IBM era. The last ThinkPad models with the 7-row keyboard were introduced in 2011.

While this isn"t the first time Lenovo had offered an AMD derived ThinkPad, it is the first to be released as an alternative premium offering to the established T Series and X Series ThinkPads, which use Intel chipsets instead.
