The editors didn't like
Weight and thickness
Screen bounces when performing touch tasks in notebook mode
Middle-of-the-pack performer
Software overload
A bulky
Throwback design
Tiny touch pad
And a high price tag throw off the equation
Short palm rest
Heavier than some 13-inch competitors
Small screen. Shorter battery life than competitors
A bit thick compared with ultrabooks
Small screen and touch pad
ThinkPad look isn't for everyone
It's a bit thick compared to admittedly less powerful Ultrabooks
ThinkPad look isn't
Suddenly thick and heavy in an ultrabook world. Disappointing battery life vs. its predecessor. Acceptable but uninspiring performance. Keyboard switcharoo will cause pitchforks to be brandished
This business laptop does not come with an optical drive
Disappointing 1366x768 resolution
Speakers are a bit lackluster
Small trackpad offers poor gesture support
Touchpad frequently frustrates
Should come with SSD standard
Touchpad could be better
Expensive for its size
Overhauled keyboard might not appeal to long-standing ThinkPad fans
Tight positioning of physical ports
Relatively high idle and load surface temperatures
Slightly louder fan noise at full stress compared to X220

As a laptop for on-the-go productivity, the Lenovo ThinkPad X230 is an excellent performer, with the best productive capability we've seen in a business ultraportable. However, if your notebook usage won’t likely demand high performance levels, you migh...

Abstract: Fans of the classic ThinkPad won't be disappointed with the X230. It's the X series you love with the same rugged styling and construction, eraserhead cursor control, and comfortable keyboard--with a few innovations. The X230 will never be an avatar f...
sehr lange Laufzeiten, mattes Display, geringe Temperaturentwicklung, leise arbeitende Kühlung, Schnittstellenauswahl
schlechter Kontrast, Tastaturhub sehr ungleichmäßig, unbefriedigendes Touchpad, empfindliches Gehäuse
ThinkPad! Allein der Name weckt Erinnerungen an die „gute, alte Zeit“ in der die Marke noch zu IBM gehörte und „Big Blue“ robuste Arbeitsgeräte konstruierte – natürlich zu einem entsprechend hohen Preis. Schon in der Vergangenheit gab es immer wiede...
Lenovo hat mit dem ThinkPad X230 ein etwas dickes und mit wenig Design-Schnickschnack bestücktes Arbeitstier im Angebot, das vor allem durch die extrem lange Akkulaufzeit überzeugt. So macht Arbeiten Spaß, wenn man nicht dauernd den Akkustand im Auge b...
