- Lisa Gade reviews the Lenovo ThinkPad X270, the refresh of Lenovo’s smallest traditional business laptop. The X270 replaces the X260 in Lenovo’s 12.5” Ultrabook lineup, and it’s been refreshed with Intel 7th generation Kaby Lake dual core, 15 watt CPUs and Intel HD 620 graphics. It gains a USB-C port and for a portable this small, it packs a lot of ports including Ethernet, HDMI and a dock connector. The 2.9 lb. /1.3kg notebook has Lenovo’s usual excellent backlit keyboard, an MS Precision trackpad, optional LTE 4G and a fingerprint scanner.
The Bridge battery system is back with an internal 23 WHr battery and your choice of 3 removable batteries, the largest of which is 72 WHr and allows for extremely long runtimes. The machine is available with a 1366 x 768 TN panel or a 1920 x 1080 IPS display (both are matte and non-touch). Pricing starts around $800, depending on current Lenovo specials. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I just bought a x270 within the last 3 months (2021) and if your looking for a solid all rounder that you can travel with, this is a great tool for you. As a progrmmer, I demend a lot from my machine and this delivers.
1 question...the x270 has a dual core cpu o quadcore?.Thanks for te información.
@@LuisguevaraL dual
Is there a Problem with Temperature? I read something about it, that the x270 ist really heating up
Why didn't you get the x280, which looks better?
@@Denyooo_ so have you bought? Does it heat up really bad?
i love how happy she is while doing the review of this laptop :) go lisa!
AS ALWAYS LISA YOUR TECH VIDEOS ARE THE BEST VERY DETAIL ,THANK YOU
Thanks for all the ThinkPad reviews I could ever need
the best reviwer i have seen on youtube the information that really matter ! congrats keep doing it
You do the absolute BEST reviews in the history of you tube. Thank you!
Hi Lisa, came across your channel recently and I subscribed immediately. Incredibly detailed reviews and heavily focused on the technical aspects of the review products. Wunderbar!!
thanks for this video. You are one of the very first in making the review of this model. You are a leader
Great review! Nice to see the internals, helps alot!
thank you for the review, literally just bought the last X270 and now they're sold out (at least for now), it was only available with the TN display, has to be the worst thing about this laptop but for the price i decided to keep it, have to say, it is much nicer than i expected, very smooth for general purpose use, it has a very nice look to it too, not what i expected, best part by far is how solid it feels and the keyboard, battery life seems excellent, matter of fact i have set the charging threshold set to 80% since i rarely use it for 10-12 hours straight, track-pad could improve but all and all it is a solid laptop.
I love your thinkpad reviews, keep them commmming
It's so nice. That classic 90's boxy, black, non flashy laptop. Wish they made a version with a little higher specs, like closer to the LEGION Y520. I want a small laptop like this, great old fashion feeling best laptop keyboard, not flashy. Just a classic looking laptop, for a everyday laptop, that can be used by consumers, not just for the workers.
IIIJFRIII me too
IIIJFRIII it’s small and boxy, very cute.
@@Nmari3eii I wish had a retro line. Something like the thinkpad 25 or better. With a real keyboard, the old style thinkpad keyboard.
Please anyone tell me
1)can i play games
2) can i add graphics card
@@undhbhakt380 no
Love your videos! Truly the best tech reviewer on TH-cam. Please, please review the Thinkpad X280 when you get a chance!
And I'm still using my X230 tablet I got in 2012. Still works great. Core i5 vPro with 8gb of ram. Very fast and great.
Thank you for this review. I'm looking forward for a review of the new P71.
I just purchased the X270 with the standard HD TN screen...returned it immediately. Got a replacement with FHD instead, glad to know that option is way better!
Always the place for excellent reviews!
Thinkpad: the Glock of laptops.
zunedog31 i dont know guns. what do you mean by that?
For one, they are about the same color, texture, and are both a kind of polymer. They both come from the 80s and have a no nonsense look. They perform great and never let you down. A little more expensive than most, but well worth the price.
Glocks, all function but no class.
Problem is thinkpads of today are garbage compared to the old IBM thinkpads you may be thinking about.
They aren't as good as the old IBM ones but they are among the best laptops on the market today.
Lisa Gade? More like Lisa Great!
omg i was waiting for this forever
Lisa,
Thank you for doing an "inside" look to see whether RAM is upgradeable. This is always a concern for me (and I'm sure many others). I hate it when reviewers just completely gloss over that!
Thank you for the review!
ive had 3 thinkpads and I intend to keep buying them. BEST keyboard period. The x 2xx line is my favorite for on the go, the t-series is nice also. I like the subdued look of them
Best Laptop reviews in the interweb. Keep it up and thanks.
X270 is the last good X series laptop.
with the X280 they removed everything good. I don't know who much drugs these guys took.
Removing:
- replacable battery
- HDD or SSD
- replacable RAM
It's a shame.
@@chrispotterfan X280 have RAM into Motherboard. Not possible replace it
@ I bouhgt a E595 and Upgraded the RAM to 32 GB.
Bought it a month ago. I totally agree with you.
But the x1 nano just looks soooo good😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
very nicely described!! i like your confident & your styles how to keep mind street or focused on you ❤
good thumsup👍
Love your reviews
Another superb review. Your trade mark.
Good video and very informative. Thanks Lisa. Ganbatte...
I can't believe they still offer laptops with 4GB's of RAM especially when the starting price is around $800
Well, thb 4gb of Ram is enough for a lot of people anyways.
No it's not. Especially if you use bloated garbage like firefox. Even Windows 7 minimal processes running youre looking at around 1 gb or RAM gone already. Firefox uses ~500mb + like an additional 100 per tab. 4 GB is not enough unless you use linux and or non trash web browsers/media players (like VLC, as in, VLC is trash too.)
@@MajinBacon Better not to use trash software then.
I got one of these with 16 GB’s of RAM, at 300 bucks. The key is to buy used
@@safir2241 where?
I'm really impressed how Lenovo design Thinkpad series, especially the X series that have bridge battery system. They're using at least intel Core i5, some series just like X270 even have Core i7 inside it, which means it will need some space for the cooling system. But they use like almost 50% of the entire bottom panel just for the battery ( internal and external ).
And here is the thing, it still has a PCIe old slot ( on the left side, the wide one, not the M.2 ), it's wide for sure. More over it still has some upgradeability ( RAM, NVMe, Wifi Card ) and internal GSM modem. I can't believe how efficient they designed the motherboard for a Core i5/i7 Processor machine. It's very small and compact, yet also has all basic upgradeability. That's why I really love thinkpad, but I don't have enough money to buy one.
The selling point to me was... the comfort with which she could hold that laptop with one hand...
and then obviously, the name "thinkpad" !!!
Lol on the t-shirt Lisa! I wish that I could get a removable battery on my Alienware, but oh well, love my machine!
I loved the way you put it "how long you wanted it to last👊" 😉
Great, impressive review. I liked it!
Do a review of the t470 soon! Cant wait for that
x260 user. I'm pretty sure everyone knew the x270 wasnt going to change much. even the x250 users agreed. thinkpads is pretty predictive, they focus on reliability and durability, thats why many conpanies still use them. good tip: buy the base model with 1080p screen and upgrade ssd and ram with aftermarket parts. if you need the warranty, simply swap back to oem parts before shipping.
Nice tips!
Upgrading SSD is no brainer but most people wouldn't know the difference. You also get a free external hard drive out of it (or other internal 500GB hdd). Ram could also be good but sometimes it is a wash or even more expensive given the price of ram these days.
which one is the base model? X250?
chrispotterfan bass model i would say is the lowest specs
I'm ordering one of these Friday refurbished for under £150gbp and this review has really helped me get a great idea of what to expect. Thank you
i did buy one too. and its really good for the moneys
me too I got it for $151 USD i5 6th gen x270
@@karljuan8908 I just got it, but I have to install SSD in it, it came without it.. Does it support NVme , PCle ? And how it behaves in basic stuff, multitasking, for example running a couple of FHD videos on TH-cam along with some open programs, does it lag a bit, I know it's dual core, i5 6th gen ?
Happy to see that you're still alive. :)
Love your reviews Lisa! I was wondering if you could do a review on the ThinkPad T470, cheers
OMG!! Over 14 hours!!
Appreciate your content.
I am still using my ThinkPad X201. It still runs perfectly with no issues. I have the docking station and using the computer with a 1080p monitor along with the laptop screen. I only upgraded the hard drive to a Samsung SSD 500gb a couple years ago which made the laptop seem 10 times quicker. Overall it is great for travelling. I just pop it in my old IBM branded X60 leather ThinkPad bag. Still deciding if I want to upgrade to the X270. Maybe it's time to retire the X201 after 6 years of service.
@Gary-Brown:
Keep the Thinkpad X201 and continue using it.
It’s irreplaceable.
Hi Lisa...big fan of yours! Best reviews for Thinkpads by far! Btw, when is the review for the ThinkPad Yoga 370 & Thinkpad YOGA 270 be available?
That removable battery is beast
i have already bought this model. i love the keyboard
thanks for the review
Your videos feel like home to me. Thank you!
nice review! thanks!
Apart from keeping the ports, chunky look helps in making the think easier to just move around. You can get a proper grip whereas true ultrabooks feel like you're pinching a sheet of ally and never seem securely held.
I wish you made a review on SC reader and the way it works as long as this is a mostly an enterprise business laptop. i will be thankful if you consider this for the next videos :) thank you very much.
I'm still rocking an X240. Still relevant as X270 doesn't really give much to the table compared to the older brother. Anyway, another comprehensive review from you, Lisa. I've enjoyed your review since the X230 XD
Lisa you rock!
great review as always. how about the T470 review?
I bought one from an IT charity on eBay for £135. Like yours, only with the regular original slim battery, 8 GB ram, 250GB NVME non1080p screen. I won't upgrade my screen to 1080p because I don't want everything my 24 inch home monitor has crammed into a screen that's 10+ inches shorter. I have upgraded to 16 GB ram, replaced the NVME with a 500GB I had laying around and I bought a genuine new 72 wh replacement battery and I re-pasted the CPU/GPU. Chinese generic batteries are NOT good, I had nothing but massive performance problems with it. I love this laptop.
at last the one i'm waitin.. i really hope it will bundle with dedicated graphic, so it will be PERFECT, well i'm still gonna buy tho
"You could even get a couple of different batteries and carry them with you...My God, you're ready for an Arctic expedition for a week right...."
I bigtime LOL'd....good times! :-)
I still using x230
i have it boy, im so happy with it. i put a sata ssd and woah ._. is amazing!. it delivers!.
i hope you are happy with the one you have :D
x220 is where it's at. I wish I could get an x220 with updated specs
9-BBN the models from 2012 and below use M-class processors, fast but low on battery life.
the current models since 2013 use ULV processors that are slower but last longer on battery.
the x230 should have the same performance as an x260 with lower battery life.
just got my first thinkpad, a used x230 with a fresh 6cell battery. Its awesome i absolutely love it : ). Unfortunately i dont have the IPS Display but it's just so cool that i can basicly change everything myself. Also i really like the keyboard feeling its great
x220 here. I'll wait 3 or 4 years to buy used x270 :(
I absolutley love my x270. Had it For close to two months and I couldn't dream of needing or wanting anything else. Your review really sold me on this laptop.
I must have watched your review 10 times before it arrived! Your videos are simple, to the point and very well presented. Thank you!
are you still using it now? how's your experience?
@@dubuminachae Hey Bud! Almost 5 years later and shes still going strong!
Battery has needed a replacement, but aside from that the thing has been an absolute power house for work and browsing.
Invincible! (replying from a new account).
Is it adequate when it comes to video editing? Does today's editing software goes well with this laptop in terms of usage and compatibility?
In the lenovo thinkpad x270 website, it states that it weights ~1.3kg. does the ~1.3kg includes the removable battery or without it?
Hi Lisa, is there any chance you're going to review the new Lenovo yoga 720 13inch ? Thanks and hope you all the best.
Is the 47Wh battery a flush design like the default 23Wh one? Or does it raise the laptop like the 72Wh battery.
Would love to see T470 and T470p reviews as well :)
First of all thanks for the review. I am trying to buy a laptop for my father for a couple of weeks and have watched almost all of your recent reviews and smackdowns, they helped me a lot. Finally I am a bit confused b/w zenbook series ux330ua and zenbook flip ux360uak-dq240t (touch screen main difference). He isn't going to open many applications or chrome tabs at the same time. And his primary requirement would be, if he clicks on the icon, it should open as fast as possible. Same goes for
the touch screen, that it should be smooth, responsive, and sturdy. But there's no way for me to confirm this. I live in a remote town, Shujalpur, in India, so we don't have any laptop outlets here, or any high range phone outlets for that matter. Even, none of the stores in our whole state has a piece, for demo purposes of touch screen. Could you please make a video, reviewing ux360uak or atleast give a basic idea about touch screen? Again, thanks a lot for videos, really appreciate your reviews and smackdowns.
Are you going to do a review of the 2nd Generation X1 Yoga?
Hey Lisa you are really great.
I get hyped every time I see you on my feed. Lisa's back at it again with another fresh review. You know it's about to get real in here... What are you selling me today Lisa?!
TheDiscardedFoot... She is good
I hope the new Thinkpads in 2021 and 2022 still have that battery options.
Hey Lisa, I was wondering if you'll ever get to reviewing the Lenovo Yoga 720. It looks like a serious rival to the XPS 15, and given the reported problems with the latter laptop, I'd love to hear you talk about the Yoga 720!
2021 year, it`s time to buy)
Love the Thinkpad! Most of my videos in this small channel are edited on my X230. XD
Lisa, you should review the T470p
I like it too!
Thanks for the review Lisa.. I just purchased this laptop..
Anyone know how to find out when it is 100% fully charged while charging when the laptop is turned off? There is no LED indicator that “says” it is fully charged.
Thank you.
My most favorite female tech reviewer
i would suggest you wait until the next X series thinkpad, mostly because it is the only one that lenovo hasn't update the design already, while the t470 has been updated already even after the t460 update.
What would you recommend, the ThinkPad X270 or the T470p?
I think you missed to mention the speakers or are there none?
how is the speaker? I heard some pretty bad things about it
Just got one from Lenovo for under 500 bucks. Not a refurbished model.
Just curious ! Is there any Lenovo Thinkpad 14" with two m.2 slots ( 1 for boot drive & 1 for storage ) or may be 1 m.2 + 2.5" drive slot ?? If yes i may think to upgrade. More over i use AutoCad 3D and solid works a lot. Is it ok to have i7 7200U or should i opt for 7700HQ. ?
Hi, today with a good refurbished one, do you think you can use it for FreeCad? Thanks
Dear Lisa,when do you review Thinkpad X280 and X1 new face 2018? Thank you very much.
if you buy the device without 4glte does it still have the sim card slot on the frame to insert the sim card and require only to install a gobi card?
Hey that was nice review, Where can I get that 6 cell battery for the same battery
hmm, big batteries are always a huge plus for me. would this be a good laptop for a college student who needs to take a lot of notes off the charger?
Hey Lisa! How many laptops do you have?
Could you do a review with internal view of a Toughbook cf-54? no one ever does any reviews of rugged notebooks.
Will you be reviewing the T570 soon?
I wish Lenovo makes a x201 with fhd ips screen, big trackpad and thunderbolt 3 and dual battery
After finding a refurbished X270 for 340$ (305$ exclusive tax) I switched to the X270 from an E330, and the difference is massive.
Even though the keyboard is lacking compared, the X270 is not a pile of plastic, which the E330 feels like, the light weight ultra portability is a pleasure. It also feels like it can withstand more extreme conditions, and is overall a fantastic machine.
I got mine with the extended battery, so I can go days without plugging it in.
I'm getting the laptop for my birthday
Hey Lisa, what do you think about the new Lenovo Yoga 720 15? :)
i am waiting to see the review of t470
Can you please do a review on the 2017 Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga
@mobiltech one question the cpu si dual core o quadcore. If the answer is dual, is posible chance for a quadcore.
Thanks.
I need a Lenovo for school for the next 3 years. Zero gaming and zero editing of any kind. I'd have a preference for high build quality--what do you guys recommend?
can you do a review on the Porsche design book one and smack down vs the surface book performance base, please!
I've had Macbook Pros, and recently purchased the Lenovo Legion, but received a Thinkpad x121e for free. Of all of the I've only liked the Thinkpad. But obviously it's a bit dated. Is this comparable to the x121e in terms of form factor and durability?
what is slit opening on the left hand side. Does this support expresscard?
