Lenovo Also lists an Ultraportable Laptop

Lenovo seems to have decided to join the set of IT companies that have provided a new, easy to carry portable computer, one belonging to the now well known ThinkPad series.

Whether it is because of fashion, because of planetary alignment or purely on coincidence, it looks like HP and Dell aren't the only ones with new ultraportable personal computers out and about.

Dell, for one, has the 15.6-inch ultrathin Vostro V13, which is really bigger than most of its kind, while HP made a pair of EliteBooks and even a ProBook official.

Lenovo didn't exactly deliver any big press release to inaugurate the online listing of its ThinkPad X1, as it is called.

This might be because the listing found on Amazon may be premature, since shipments aren't set to start until May 20, 2011.

The mobile PC is one that has already been the subject of leaks and reports, its name being ThinkPad X1.

It is a notebook with a screen size of 13.3 inches and powered by the Intel Core i5-2520M, a dual-core processing unit with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz.

That CPU is backed up by 4 GB of RAM (random access memory), while a hard disk drive brings 320 GB of storage space to the equation.

A discrete graphics card is not present, but the CPU's integrated Intel HD graphics should be all that the 13.3-inch LCD display needs.

The regular connectivity and I/O options should be present (Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, USB 2.0, maybe even USB 3.0) although the listing doesn't make it clear.

Either way, all the hardware is managed by the Windows 7 professional OS (operating system) and kept running by a battery which can last for up to 8 hours on a single charge.

Prospective purchasers need only be willing to part with £1,292.52 in case they decide to acquire this product.
