The new ThinkPad X200 Series has been eagerly anticipated by ThinkPad fans but the launch has also been accompanied by some trepidation! Could the new ThinkPad X200 notebooks meet the expectations of the huge loyal ThinkPad X61 user base? Could the ThinkPad X200 Tablet be the equal of the ThinkPad X61 Tablet, which long been considered the best notebook in the sector?

We asked ourselves these and many similar questions when we first heard about the new X200 Series back in June.

The X Series notebook that we have notably missed reviewing on this blog has been the ‘s’ designation X Series, in other words, those with the lower power consumption Intel Montevina Low Voltage Processors.

Because this new Processors draw far less power, these lightweight ultraportables achieve outstanding battery life.

Both the Intel SL9400 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo, SL9300 1.4GHz Core 2 Duo and SU9300 1.2GHz Core 2 Duo are available as options when you configure your machine.

The X200s is actually a much slimmer and lighter version of the X200 and when we say slimmer and lighter, we mean it!
The X200s is the lightest ThinkPad to date only weighing 2.47 pounds with the 4-cell battery installed. Of course to get the maximum out of this lightweight wonder, you really will have to option the 9 Cell Battery, but the great thing is, it only adds $50 to the price.

When you look at it the X200s looks heavier than it is and its only when you hold it that you actually realise what an incredible job the Lenovo engineers have done.

The X200s uses the same carbon fibre/glass fibre technology as the ThinkPad X300 and the X301 to keep the weight at a minimum.

Just as we were about to write a detailed review we had an email in from the Lenovo with some really informative video by Matt Kohut, Lenovo’s Competitive Analyst .

There are a couple of videos here which you will find really compelling. We love Matt’s ‘no nonsense’ approach and you can tell this guy loves what he does and loves his product.

There is some really revealing stuff here so we suggest that you review both of these videos, and then go off and buy the ThinkPad X200 of your choice, whether it’s the X200, X200s or the superb ThinkPad X200 Tablet.
