Slashgear has one of the new Lenovo Thinpad X100e netbooks. Â Their review unit was equipped with a 1.6GHz AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 CPU, 2GB of RAM and a 160GB 5,400rpm hard-drive. Â Graphics courtesy of an ATI Radeon HD3200 chipset, and the battery is a 6-cell 2,600mAh pack which Lenovo rates for up to 5hrs runtime. Connectivity was provided by WiFi b/g/n (Bluetooth is a $20 option, not present on our unit), three USB 2.0 ports (one of which is powered), VGA, a combo mic/headphone socket and gigabit ethernet. So what did they think of the X100e? Pros: – Very usable design. Keyboard feel and response best in class for ultraportables / netbooks. – Â Matte 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 HD Ready panel, LED backlit display excellent and no glare. Cons: – Noisy fan, casing gets hot to touch. – Â Build quality reveals the budget nature of the X100e. – 6 cell battery only provided about 3 hours of runtime.
