bro i received my x240 that i bought on april and i just found an x250 for the same price right now, these things are super good for everything except gaming lol its perfect for productivity and not slacking that much
@@mp_hmo Hey I would like to use this laptop for my college. Mainly programming and ppt, excel, word use. In my country, this model is available as refurbished one with i5 5th gen, 256gb ssd and 8gb ddr4 ram. Will it be fine ?
I have the Thinkpad x230 i5 with IPS display. Bought it 3 years ago. I think it can last for another 5 years. Upgraded the ram to 8 gigs from 4 gigs. Added SSD. Had issues with the heat sink, but replaced it myself for $12. Also got the battery slice to increase the battery life. Laptops which let you fix things by yourself are great.
Actually I use a thinkpad x250 for 4 years now and still the same speed as the day I bought it (or as as fast as the new ones) the thinkpad x250 is great for everyday productivity, and it's great because of it's replacable RAM, STORAGE (HDD/SSD/M.2) and the battery that lasts after 18 hours! Thinkpad x250 had many improvements not only for everyday productivity but you can also use it for video editing (kinda sucks, but can handle 2 hour video LOL) as a student I use it for everything that my school needs, and still today it's still alive! I even dropped it like 3 times still working it's strength is really the best and worth it! If I can rate it I can rate it 4.3 stars
@@user-ut7nk1xc6r I agree with that opinion but like I said video editing kind of sucks, but the display is sharp although not really that "accurate color" you know what others say but I would say I refer it to those students who really focuses on writing
Most of these reviews I don't care about, its Lisa's positive upbeat energy that has me watching. I love the phone reviews and the odd gaming laptop review, but I watch them all despite lack of interest in the specific tech item of the day.
Thanks for the review, helped me decide to pick it up from gov surplus this week. Got it for 185 CAD (about 130 US), didn't come with the hard drive but had the internal battery, the i5-5300 and the upgraded screen, and the included Windows 7 code was good to activate Win10Pro so all in all a ridiculous deal. Upgraded the ram to 8 gb and added a barracuda 250 ssd (about 100 CAD/72 USD, total cost therefore was about 200 US), this beast boots up to the login screen in 9 seconds and has taken everything I could throw at it.
Was unsure about whether to order this or not. Ordered it immediately. Going to max out the memory and get a new screen. Once I’m done with that I’m gonna completely upgrade a T440p. I love how you can customise these laptops and do it incrementally with time because I’m not made of money 😂
Still using this in 2019, replace the thermal, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD M2 + 1TB HDD, dual battery configuration, and ready to go, 9 hours in a single charge is pretty amazing. PS : still using the crappy TN screen, and the 16GB DIMM is EXPENSIVE ( 135$ ) lol
@@widevader you can get 16GB DIMM DDR3L and put it in the X250 easily, however the price could be not really comfortable. ive got mine here in Indonesia for 130$. i knowits expensive, but since i also can use it in my T450 and make it 32GB then its fine.
Yes, we have been waiting for this one (OK, at least I was :D ). Great review, as always. I'm looking at this one as a replacement for my stop-gap used X201, so it's nice to know the improvements. I love the keyboard on the X201 though so I'll have to compare them IRL first. Thanks a lot for the in-depth video, it was really useful.
So in this video, Lisa mentions that there's only 1 RAM slot with a max capacity of 8GB ? How come a seller's telling me that his X250 have got 2 RAM slots and is able to take 32GB? Are there like different models of X250 here? Confused...
@@saleto78 will do, I got the X260 a couple of years back and I am r e a l l y satisfied (with the ext batts). Last year I also had by chance, a Surface Pro 4 land on my lap but its going back to MS due to screen flicker. So I am getting the 250 as a replacement to that, because I do not think I can ever trust a Surface product again, easily. The 260 has been around the world with me, twice, I cant describe the kind of hardship it has suffered and it still looks prima, with a lot of life in it. I can imagine the 250 is similar, as it is practically the same machine minus the hdmi and plus the vga
Just got the x270, waiting for delivery, needed a compact work laptop and I believe the i5 8gb with ssd sata shall do, but if not..always easy to upgrade, they're running for only 400 now on lenovos website, only downside? Only carrying the hd displays now :/
Recently pulled the trigger on a T450s. When I saw your video was up, I was scared I would get buyer's remorse. No such misfortune, worth it for the bigger screen and keyboard.
El Pollo Loco 51 Nope, I think it would be better to say Thinkpads are the AK-47s of laptops (Reliable, durable and wont fail you) Rolls Royce cars are very lush so i think macs could be considered the rolls royce of laptops.
+ephphatha230 How could Carbon X1 or even X250 be ''big, heavy and old fashioned looking"?? At least it's durable with good quality, much better than Dell, HP or Acer.
+ephphatha230 The thinkpad Yogas (12 2014, 12 2015, 14, 260, 460) and Thinkpad x1 carbons (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) are as light as most ultrabooks but give better durability.....You are probably thinking about the bigger/older OG thinkpads. lol
Almost 6 years after the release of the video. Just purchased this yesterday for $220 (second hand), i5200U variant. Bought it for work, but I don't have the rig to play the games I want to play so I tested some games using the laptop. DOTA2 Low settings - 70 to 80 fps / Mid settings (Render Quality 100%) 45 to 55 fps Valorant, CS:GO, Aura Kingdom - Low to Mid settings 45 to 60 fps Also tried playing using an extended monitor (VGA) and it works fine (-/+5 fps) even if you have a browser open with youtube playing on the background. Right now planning to add M.2 SSD 2242 for the OS, video rendering and games and leave the HDD alone for the other data. The downside is the color is inaccurate and screen is small.
Have this Thinkpad ( watched the review before buying) . The build quality feels less sturdy than the usual thinkpad . The heat dissipation of the laptop is not comfortable and the lower part of the computer heats up a lot. I also have the x230, and the old model performs BETTER. The laptop is small and light, but performance wise it makes me want to go for non thinkpad on my next purchase ( had the t400, x230 and x250 for more than 10 years with Thinkpad)
now bring back separate sound-buttons. I use them very often, however i hate using FN for the function keys as well. Bring back a second RAM-Slot for DualChannel. Stop using the worst TN panels on the market for a 1000$ laptop. TN for entry-level is okay, but not the worst on the whole market like Lenovo did the last times. The round power connector was better, too, because it could be plugged in independant from its direction. Bring back normal hinghes with some connectors on the back, because the back is the best place for power connector and at least one USB oder LAN.
Watching this on my thinkpad x250 :D running linux on it and its amazing!! just wish they had proper option for double touch right clicking on the touchpad :/
Some models of X250 do not have a SSD hard drive. Could it be a problem to the hard drive when moving around, bringing it up and down, such laptop when it's ON? I don't mean extreme cases like accidentally drop
First time commenting here. :D What do you think about the new Dell XPS 15 with infinity display announced earlier? I think it looks incredible, and I am sure you will review it when it comes out.
Can you comment on arguably one of the hallmarks of thinkpads and that's the magnesium roll cage. From your internals clip, it seems like the thinkpads as of late have a different chassis setup as compared to the ones I've seen before. Do you think the chassis is being phased out and becoming more mainstream?
Can you review the ThinkPad E550 I'm not sure if it's perfect for me, because it's cheaper than the ones you have previously reviewed, because I can't afford these ones, I was hoping I could get on the ThinkPad ladder by buying an e550.
Jervon Jaxx I own a Thinkpad Yoga and despite the awesome keyboard and trackpad, the touchpad has become a must for me. Its quicker for reading and browsing (especially on google chrome) and with Windows navigation I can just go straight to what I want. I am one of those people that plays with new PC toys and after using my Yoga, its really hard for me to use regular laptops because they feel slow because I can't reach over and touch what I want and quickly get to what I want
Jervon Jaxx ... another device? It really works ( for me) there are many instances in navigating ( many) when reaching over and touching the screens is the most efficient and intuitive.
I was wondering if you guys are going to review the second generation thinkpad yoga 12.5"? I was thinking about going to the second generation because of the new trackpad and screen retention issues. Are there really that many differences between the generations to warrant the extra cost?
MobileTechReview Thank you, cant wait. Any chance you can talk about the new trackpad and trackpad buttons. I'm really curious to see if they retained the trackpad from MBP and made the trackpoint better
I have this ultrabook in top end Configuration core i5, 8 gb ram, 256gb ssd, 1080p ips touch panel, I bought it 1.4 years ago in pakistan in $300, used one but 10/10 condition. Recently its fan had issue so i got it replaced with lenovo x240 fan, now the fan is always running which was not the case previously. Does anyone have it? If so, how long fan runs?
MobileTechReview If i have to choose between this, lavie z, x1 carbon, spectre 360, xps 13, and Asus UX 501 pro then what would you recommend? I am currently enrolled in a part time degree and use windows through bootcamp on my mid 2012 macbook air. A lot of productivity and educational softwares are not yet 100% avaliable. So given this requirement what will be your suggestion? You can recommend something else too. I am looking for guidance ..thanks Lisa
If you need to do 3d rendering and graphics and processing intensive things, no. If you just want to take it around campus and type essays or mainly light work to medium intensity work. Yes.
Lisa, when will the ThinkPad X250t (tablet version) be coming out? Can you please let us know and will you be reviewing it?. Looking to update my x220t now that the dedicated buttons are back. Thank you.
+Sergio Ramirez The X260 will be out within the coming months, highly doubt you'll ever see another tablet version of the X250 or whatever as the Yoga has taken it's place.
Lenovo has stopped making the tablet version with the X230T being the last model. Like SE43 said, the ThinkPad Yoga 12.5 is the model that replaced it. I for one recommend going with the Helix, it's a fantastic 2 in 1 that actually feels like a proper laptop when the tablet is docked into the keyboard. The tablet part also feels really good in the hands. Check out the refurbished site for Lenovo, I bought my Helix for only 460 dollars, it was even the i7, 8GB, 256GB model. Even though it was a refurnished, there wasn't a single scratch anywhere on the unit, it looked and smelled brand new. I think the X series is a little one the thick side when compared with other models and similar laptops from other manufactures. Check out HP's new Envy 13T, it's their answer to Apple's MacBook 12 but your getting an i7 instead of the much, much slower Intel M CPU. I wish Lenovo would release a 12", convetable version of their X1, talk about the ultimate laptop.
MobileTechReview thanks great review of Omen and comparison with the MSI ... I bought the MSI you reviewed with beefy specs 970m 6G ... 1699.99 on sale..
if you want something more durable and have the bucks, you can go with the thinkpad. if you want a slimmer, lighter thing you can get a macbook air. just take into account the thinkpad will be heavier and the macbook will be more fragile. other than that, it's pretty much that age old "apple product vs non apple product" debate that never really got anywhere.
ugh I cant believe Lenovo done away with the tablet x series! by far the best convertible rugged laptops ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a whimpy little yoga!!! ...............x series rocks I still love and use my X230T such a tough and versatile machine for those of us who have to use Wacom. there making me look at lifebooks...........dad gum it!!!

still running the X201 i5 about to get X201T with an i7
Lisa what you think about the Intel real sense on the thinkpad yoga
Lisa, What's your favorite laptop of all time?
The x230 has 2 ram slots...
I can get the lenovo x250 for R3000 should I take it
MobileTechReview If i have to choose between this, lavie z, x1 carbon, spectre 360, xps 13, and Asus UX 501 pro then what would you recommend? I am currently enrolled in a part time degree and use windows through bootcamp on my mid 2012 macbook air. A lot of productivity and educational softwares are not yet 100% avaliable. So given this requirement what will be your suggestion? You can recommend something else too. I am looking for guidance ..thanks Lisa
Lisa, need your advice :)
Electro i run matlab, spss, stata and R on a sub $600 laptop so any of these models have plenty of power
Malamute Thank You Malamute. I got X1 Carbon.
Electro good choice
Got mine today....I love it!
fab - do you use it to edit videos or designing?
@ as dev platform
fab - I need it to design on photoshop or Illustrator and basic video edit as well. But I need something lightweight and affordable.
Is the webcam good?
Thank you very much.
Is this a good laptop for a computer science student?
If you need to do 3d rendering and graphics and processing intensive things, no. If you just want to take it around campus and type essays or mainly light work to medium intensity work. Yes.
In this video the X250 has 1920x1080 display ?
please do review about thinkpad x260.
Review is good. But very lengthy. If possible make always 2 type of reviews. One is short one is long. Anyway you are a very good reviewer
no
does this have a cpu whine issue like some t40s seem to have?
Subscribed. How about x250 vs mba 13?
How to reset power in this x250?
Can it run video games?
Lisa, when will the ThinkPad X250t (tablet version) be coming out? Can you please let us know and will you be reviewing it?. Looking to update my x220t now that the dedicated buttons are back. Thank you.
+Sergio Ramirez The X260 will be out within the coming months, highly doubt you'll ever see another tablet version of the X250 or whatever as the Yoga has taken it's place.
Lenovo has stopped making the tablet version with the X230T being the last model. Like SE43 said, the ThinkPad Yoga 12.5 is the model that replaced it. I for one recommend going with the Helix, it's a fantastic 2 in 1 that actually feels like a proper laptop when the tablet is docked into the keyboard. The tablet part also feels really good in the hands. Check out the refurbished site for Lenovo, I bought my Helix for only 460 dollars, it was even the i7, 8GB, 256GB model. Even though it was a refurnished, there wasn't a single scratch anywhere on the unit, it looked and smelled brand new. I think the X series is a little one the thick side when compared with other models and similar laptops from other manufactures. Check out HP's new Envy 13T, it's their answer to Apple's MacBook 12 but your getting an i7 instead of the much, much slower Intel M CPU. I wish Lenovo would release a 12", convetable version of their X1, talk about the ultimate laptop.
have you reviewed the new HP Omen 15 yet with the GTX 960m ?
mawash0309 Nope, we did the review with the 860M.
MobileTechReview thanks great review of Omen and comparison with the MSI ... I bought the MSI you reviewed with beefy specs 970m 6G ... 1699.99 on sale..
This looks like a cinder block..... I'll use it to fill in potholes
lol why is there sticky tape holding the wires together 5:33
I bought a thinkpad last year with the shit annoying trackpad/touchpad/whatever it's called, that was the worst buy I ever did in my life
7 yrs later watching this video
Hi, I'd like to know which of the two laptops would be better for business and marketing student : MacBook Air 13" or Lenovo Thinkpad x250?
Cheers
+Jakub Jabłoński depends on which programs and os you need.
if you want something more durable and have the bucks, you can go with the thinkpad.
if you want a slimmer, lighter thing you can get a macbook air.
just take into account the thinkpad will be heavier and the macbook will be more fragile.
other than that, it's pretty much that age old "apple product vs non apple product" debate that never really got anywhere.
it would have been better if it has a removable screen as tab
How to connect to wifi please
ugh I cant believe Lenovo done away with the tablet x series! by far the best convertible rugged laptops ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! For a whimpy little yoga!!! ...............x series rocks I still love and use my X230T such a tough and versatile machine for those of us who have to use Wacom. there making me look at lifebooks...........dad gum it!!!
