Lenovo ThinkPad X250 – a truly multi media laptop
Have you ever been caught out by short battery life? Have you ever been right in the middle of an intense music session, or maybe a movie, or just plain forget to plug in your machine?
Well maybe we have a solution for you!
The longest lasting laptop yet, the ThinkPad X250 runs from a nominal 3 cell battery, with an extended 6-cell battery which provides an astounding 20.5 hours of battery time. Even the smaller 3-cell battery which comes included with the X250 ThinkPad, still offers a fantastic battery life of well over 7 hours.
And maybe that is one of the best features of this machine – it is very flexible and versatile in terms of configuration. For example – add an extra battery cell if you need more battery life. Add a larger Hard Drive if you need the extra storage space, and you can probably increase the Solid State Drive (additional memory) if you want to be assured of that extra processing power right when you are on the middle of a large music track, or if your processing software needs the extra oomph! The choice is yours, and you can find some of the options available in the Amazon store.
Key Features:
- Processor – Fifth Gen Intel Core i5-5200U (2.3 GHz)
- Cache – 3M
- Hard Drive – 500 GB HDD
- RAM – 8GB DDR3
- Graphics Co-processor – Intel HD Graphics 5500
- Operating System – Windows 7 Professional x64
What can I expect with a ThinkPad X250:
Previously released as the ThinkPad x240, the updated version of this laptop, the ThinkPad X250, has now been launched. It has the same design, but now offers a dedicated TrackPad and an Intel 5th Generation Core processor that promises even longer battery life. We think the comfortable keyboard with elongated palm rest featured by the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 is a wonderful touch, as well as the durable design and wide viewing angles from the picture perfect IPS display. So now you can take this machine wherever you music production takes you, and feel the freedom to let your creativity fly free.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X250 is powered by the impressive Intel i5 Core i5 which zips along at 2.3 GHz, so you don’t have to feel restrained by lack of horsepower. This machine is easily able to process large files and high resolution images, so is well suited to handle your finest musical productions. In addition to the processing power is the graphics co-processor which is provided by Intel HD Graphics 5500, which fits seamlessly together in a very well designed unit. With 4 GB RAM and 500 GB HDD you will have no problems storing as much data as you can create.
It is worth noting that this machine comes pre-loaded with Windows 7 Operating System rather than the latest Windows 8, so if you have a preference for the older OS, then you will be well catered for. This does not prevent you from upgrading to Windows 10 if you wish to, so make sure you look out for any offers from Windows.
As the competition for sales in the high-end laptop and notebook market speeds up, the leading players are increasingly improving their products in this range of mult media laptops. Lenovo is a market leader in this field and has an impressive range of superb multi media machines for you to choose from. The China based company which was previously under the IBM brand has been leaving no stones unturned to design and produce newer and more sophisticated products in this very popular Thinkpad multi media range and we recommend the Lenovo ThinkPad X250 for all your music production requirements.
