Lenovo has announced a latest laptop designed specifically tailored and used for students for academic tool - the Lenovo ThinkPad X130e. Featuring school-proof reinforced, yet lightweight design, in order to maintain its physical integrity for as long possible for the new 11.6-incher from Lenovo. Including rubber bumpers to absorb impacts to the side of the laptop, 33 percent stronger corner ( no word on what the 33 percent stronger than), robust hinges rated for up to 30,000 cycles, reinforced and recessed ports, as well as a bezel with 1.2mm-thick plastic to protect the screen. Comes with multimedia- and web content-capable hardware and battery that should last throughout the entire school day, or even a bit longer.
Traditionally, the ThinkPad series targets mostly busy businessmen, but that’s not really the case with the new product (although the company might be working on building early brand recognition, who knows?), since the latest ThinkPad, despite maintaining the overall design lines of the family, targets a completely different segment, namely the classroom.
The extra fortification is revealed when you glance at the 11.6-incher's weight, but 3.9lbs is still very manageable. We haven't seen a full spec sheet, but the system will be offered in Intel and AMD configurations. The X130e runs Windows 7 OS and is powered by Intel Core i3-2367M ULV, along with the AMD Fusion E-300, or AMD Fusion E-450 CPUs (each equipped with a GPU), as well as 2GB of RAM (upgradeable up to 8GB). Students can present their homework on a larger display connecting it to the X130e via HDMI, or VGA ports. Other connectivity options include Ethernet port, audio and microphone ports, two USB ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. File storage is provided by a choice of 320GB and 500GB HDDs, or 128GB SSD. The laptop also features the red pointing stick that serves as a navigation solution, 4-in-1 media card reader and a low-light webcam, as well as a six-cell battery that provides up to 8.5 hours of runtime -- or an entire school day.
Price-wise, the new classroom-oriented notebook from Lenovo is actually fairly affordable, the 11.6-inch ThinkPad X130e selling for around US$470 starting on December 20′th.
