The Good: Phenomenal keyboard; sturdy build; matte screen.
The Bad: Underpowered for the price; battery life isn't as good as many Netbooks.
The Bottom Line: The ThinkPad x100e is essentially the ThinkPad Netbook users have been dreaming of, with one of the best keyboards we've ever tested. Unfortunately, its performance, though better than that of Atom Netbooks, comes at the cost of longer battery life.

Review Summary: The Lenovo ThinkPad X100e suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. Lenovo calls the notebook an entry-level “ultraportable,” but the X100e's diminutive 11.6-inch display and 3.3-pound weight scream netbook. Depending on how you configure it, the...

The Verdict: In the end, the new Lenovo X100e with AMD dual-core inside is a big improvement over the single core version. It keeps the good parts, including construction, chassis and keyboard, but takes performance, autonomy and heat/noise to another level. That...
