Lenovo takes the curtain off the X200 ThinkPad.

Introducing the ThinkPad X200: Available August 5, 2008
The X200 is Lenovo’s new 12-inch business notebook and has a starting price of just $1,434, making it an excellent value for anyone who needs a fully-capable notebook that can get them through a full work day. This may not be a developers dream, but it will make anyone looking for a highly capable notebook extremley happy.

The X200 is totaly different type of laptop than the 13.3-inch X300, which is optimized to be as thin and light as possible and has a low-voltage processor, built-in DVD burner, and a solid state drive and has an eye-popping sticker price of $3,225 (available for $2,400 after discounts and ecoupon use). The X200 doesn’t have an optical drive, but it does have full-speed Intel Core 2 Duo processors, an array of drive options and an optional docking solution.
The X200 is extremely fast for an ultraportable. Most applications open virtually instantaneous and the X200 ripped through installation applications and photo editing and graphical software packages like Fireworks and Photoshop. Tests conducted on video encoding showed great speed increases over older thinkpad models.

Lenovo equiped the X200 with a full-sized keyboard that is very comfortable to use, as you can expect from an enterprise-class ThinkPad. The X200 has an UltraNav (red eraser-head style) finger pointer instead of a touch trackpad.

The X200 doesn’t have an optical drive, but it can be docked with an UltraBase that packs a DVD burner, four USB ports, a Display Port and more. The UltraBase can pack an extra hard drive and can charge an extra battery while plugged in- a great feature for business travelers.
