Laptops My Review: Lenovo ThinkPad X120e

s_anuj · Mar 26, 2012

Folks, there are a few variants of the X120e floating around. mainly the difference is 5400rpm/7200rpm HDD. There's also a variant with e-240 that comes with win 7 starter. Just fyi... the specs http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/pdf/notebooks/ThinkPad/x-series/ThinkPad%20x120e.pdf

For the RAM, I ordered this from Flipkart http://www.flipkart.com/transcend-jetram-ddr3-2-gb-laptop-ram-jm1333ksn-2g/p/itmd57ukafxjxcwq?pid=RAMD57UJRBNJDBRH&_l=rNOfRA_2s1pRNn46QI4BxA--&_r=7O16iH6Qt_X+vihKAUy9Yw--&ref=d56e54b4-f47e-4fd8-8ddd-d31a12cb1a0a.. Works without a hitch

Yes. As i'm not gonna be running very taxing apps on the x120e 4gb of ram was enough for me

hello guys any idea if price will go up after april 1st because of budget?

#[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]s_anuj [/font]The Amazon model you linked to has Win7 Pro + Office 2010 preloaded and that's why the higher price.

babhishek · Mar 29, 2012

the price went down by 99/100 bucks on sulekha , fyi!

True.. Don't think there is a model offered on Amazon/newegg without the OS.

Frankly, I don't like the preloads... You anyways have to wipe the system to get rid of the bloatware

Did anyone get it from sulekha yet?

Yupp.. update your Bios & drivers (just get the ThinkPad system update utility)...

Also, turn-off powerplay function in the catalyst control centre.

@metalspree - is it a 3 cell battery or a 6 cell battery? any snaps available of the battery end of the laptop?

also, is the bag a standard bag or built for the x120e?
