x100e experience so far...

[bourgognais]

Hello all,

I finally bought a x100e ( red baby! ) to replace my trusted x60s. I chose the L335 because to my surprise, it seems to be faster than the L625 ( see http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup. ... +Core+L335 ) even if it is not very fast ( it generate the same cpu values in Windows Experience Index as my R60 T2500 ). I will try to change the disk for one of the new Seagate hybrids ( does anyone have experiences with theses? ) to improve a bit on the performance.

For the moment the x100e is more an improved netbook than a cheap X serie Thinkpad IMO. Lenovo has a hard time selling it ( I got my with a large discount from an online retailer ) and I think we would all prefer to see a model with a longer lasting battery ( let’s say an Intel D550 version ) or with better performance ( Intel i3 U380 ).

I'm not sure X100 is an improvement over X60...

But how about the screen? Do you like it? It seems to be a quite high DPI...

I'll consider purchasing one the next year if they put an AMD Fusion chip in, preferably Ontario 9W one.

It is no x60s for sure. It is not as rugged, some buttons and lights ( indicators / thinklight ) are missing but the screen is much nicer ( brighter + higher res. ) and I have a camera for skype now. The keyboard is quite good as well.

I will give this machine a chance until Lenovo include esata, dvi, usb3 to the x201 serie. I’m not sure the x100e body can stand up to my use ( abuse ) of a notebook ( lol ) for that long...
