Lenovo ThinkPad X240 laptop Core i7-4600U 2TB SSD 8GB RAM 12.5" HD IPS

Business ultrabook for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is a 12.5-inch laptop built for frequent travel and office work. An Intel Core i7-4600U processor with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.3 GHz handles everyday productivity tasks. Windows 8.1 Pro comes pre-installed for immediate deployment in managed environments. The 2 TB solid-state drive and 8 GB of DDR3 memory provide substantial local storage and smooth multitasking.

MIL-SPEC tested chassis with carbon-fibre roll cage

The ultradurable construction passes eight environmental parameters including vibration, humidity, temperature shock and dust resistance. A spill-resistant, six-row precision keyboard with backlit keys supports accurate typing in low light. Connectivity includes two USB ports, Bluetooth 4.0 and a combined headphone and microphone jack for headsets. The non-touch HD IPS panel delivers a 1366 x 768 resolution for clear document viewing.

2 TB SSD capacity defines storage headroom

The large solid-state drive eliminates the need for external media when carrying extensive project files or media libraries. Buyers who require more than 8 GB of system memory or a higher-resolution display should consider alternative models. The integrated graphics and U-series processor are suited to general business applications rather than intensive creative workloads. No optical drive is fitted, so software must be installed via USB or network.
