Lenovo ThinkPad X240 laptop Core i7-4600U 8GB 500GB SSD 12.5" HD Touch

Business ultrabook for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad X240 is a 12.5" business ultrabook built for professionals who need a durable, lightweight Windows 10 Pro machine. Its carbon-fibre roll cage passes MIL-SPEC tests for pressure, humidity, vibration and temperature extremes. An Intel Core i7-4600U processor with 8GB DDR3 RAM handles office multitasking and video calls. A 500GB solid-state drive provides fast boot and application loading.

HD touch display and core connectivity

The 12.5" HD IPS panel runs at 1366 x 768 resolution and supports ten-point touch input for direct on-screen control. Bluetooth 4.0 connects wireless peripherals such as mice, keyboards or headsets. Two USB ports accept storage drives, docks or other accessories. A single headphone/microphone combo jack handles audio in and out. The spill-resistant, backlit keyboard allows comfortable typing in low-light conditions.

Storage capacity and upgrade limits

The 500GB SSD holds the operating system, business applications and a moderate working set of documents or media. Users with large local libraries — video projects, CAD files or extensive photo collections — will reach capacity quickly and need external or cloud storage. The 8GB DDR3 memory is soldered and cannot be expanded, so heavy multitasking or virtual machines may hit a ceiling. Buyers who need more internal storage or user-upgradable RAM should consider other models.
