Thinkpad X230 Notebook Review
IT people like the laptop is described as a car processor for motor
, battery life compared to fuel consumption and operating experience feelings than for control car. For the century-old classic cars, their development has never left the tradition and innovation, for the ThinkPad is about to usher in her 20th birthday, is also true.
Into the next golden age of ThinkPad, it presented the world is the manipulation of change - the keyboard. Referred to the keyboard, it is the perfect embodiment of the ultimate human-computer interaction experience, have brought us one after another classic case of, it is the ThinkPad many core components of the most important part of the. Its important position, a slight exaggeration to say, without any a laptop like the ThinkPad, via the keyboard and let people know and love it.
Replacement of every ThinkPad, most users are not concerned with the performance improvement or software updates, and whether to provide the user with a more comfortable feel fuselage detail design. The following is a general phenomenon, whenever the new ThinkPad "spy photos" appeared on the Internet, users always take the lead in its details of the changes make a long talk width of, at this stage, the most "touching the black bottom line" chiclet keyboard design has become the focus of .

After the the ThinkPad Classic models to follow the IVB platform is a comprehensive update for the chocolate keyboard, a time aroused strong repercussions on the network, the questioning voice on this change also came crashing to the terms of the loyal users of the ThinkPad, this chocolate keyboard their habits, have revolutionized the visual and tactile change so that they have to make a change in the operation to adapt to the machine, the sound of the resulting controversy to this never-ending.

ThinkPad X230: There is no change in the appearance of
ThinkPad X230's stature is still determination, still handsome appearance. The previous generation X220 canceled could maintain the integrity of the fuselage, screen lock mechanism to prevent accidental drops and damage the body, the same is true in the X230 body, and this is in one direction the ThinkPad gradually closer to the simple design style, perhaps in the T series even W-series body, the screen lock design will also disappear.
The screen aspect prior to the continuation of the ThinkPad X230, X220, customizable tradition, the user can be equipped with IPS screen, but in the country, IPS screen is only for part of the high distribution models, while the protagonist of this test is not equipped with a slight regret. As for the high score screen, I did not get the X230 has custom message, they still maintain the 1366 768.
The pursuit of a comfortable operating experience the spirit of the ThinkPad, is it the essence of design, detail design of the ThinkPad body has a story: the TrackPoint in the red dot and the distance between the two buttons, keyboard keys, key processes and resilience, catlike style pads, owl eagle-wing fan ... even the bottom of the fuselage lift angle. Details on the excellence we willingly, can not give up the reasons for choosing a ThinkPad.
ThinkPad X230: by far the biggest change of keyboard
Brief introduction to the finished appearance, the following we came to the concern points higher on the keyboard design.
ThinkPad's keyboard design is to be respected, and comfort is extremely important aspects of a habit of ThinkPad users, if you suddenly use other brand of notebook computer keyboard will feel more or less lack, but if you have not come into contact with ThinkPad keyboard the user for the first time you use the keyboard, the feelings must be different.
2012, the ThinkPad line products are change points island-style keyboard - in order to pursue the simple and beautiful, the vast majority of both the consumer laptop or a business notebook have been replaced by points island-style keyboard is often said chocolate keyboard. We first look at the keyboard on the Lenovo ThinkPad chocolate understand.
Symmetric arc Cap: ThinkPad chocolate keyboard to maintain before the traditional keyboard design, each keycap according to ergonomic standards designed a certain curvature, increase the contact surface of the finger and keyboard. Symmetrical arc (symmetrical curve) with the fingers to maintain a perfect fit.
Shrapnel: "X" shape bracket and the "drum" in the bottom of the ThinkPad chocolate keyboard, placed an "X" shaped bracket, and let it firmly "caught" live keycap, from button more compact. Thus, the ThinkPad's new keycap able to maintain the level of vertical movement, and thus more stable neat percussion.
The full-size design: key pitch (the keycap center to keycap center distance) to maintain the standard of 19mm, full-size.
New backlight function: ThinkLight keyboard light is not perfect, the keyboard backlight is the best auxiliary. The keyboard backlight feature is also a custom option, the sending measured ThinkPad X230 is not equipped with.
These are the association's explanation on the continuation of the traditional keyboard design, the author through the actual operation, the subjective feelings come to the following:
X230 keyboard typing the desired intensity of smaller;
X230 on the keyboard a key area of relatively greater, it should say when Lenovo publicity - "to improve the accuracy beat;
The X230's keyboard and the sound is smaller, the X220 is "ringing", which also responds to the association "to reduce typing noise" argument.
Keycap design, chocolate keyboard under the premise to maintain a comfortable feeling in the area of percussion and percussion noise control progress, in addition, there are keyboard changes in the pattern.
IBM 40Y8318The chiclet keyboard with the traditional keyboard, the biggest difference is the changed line 7 to line 6 - This is designed to cut a certain number of keys, the keyboard space to squeeze do. Thus, we see the disappearance of the Pause, etc. buttons, and their shape more similar. ThinkPad designers say: "We will be early PC uses the function keys removed to create a more compact keyboard, while it is easy to use as usual.
Line 6 from line 7 into the keyboard design, which used to line 7 of the user in terms of some habits to make a change, such as:
1, the right and left arrow keys on the "forward" and "back" two shortcut functions disappear;
2, the original page (the PgUp) / Next (PgDn) about the two keys to move to above the two keys, arrow keys;
3, the delete key (Delete) relatively small, placed in the most the top right of the edge of the keyboard;
Screenshot (PrtSc) and insert (Insert) The two key transfer, pause (Pause) and scroll lock (ScrLk) These two keys are cut.
5, and multimedia control Fn extension function key to move to the F-F12 keys (except the volume control buttons), from more focused.
The above points are some of the most important changes. In addition, Enter key (Confirm / Enter key) is now black instead of the previous blue, and remove the carriage return arrow icon above. In fact, many key icon are removed, the whole looks more concise: for example, the up arrow icon on the Shift key capital icon of CapsLk key above the Tab key icon above are not.
Touchpad in order to ensure the C surface overall unity of style, the ThinkPad X230's TrackPoint and touch pad has become more concise. TrackPoint left and right buttons and the wheel button key process variable low through the actual operation, the curved design gives the feeling is almost the same.
It is worth mentioning that the screw number and location of the fuselage back, I found the X230 and X220 C shell is completely interchangeable In this regard it seems, perhaps also leave room for the association in the design of X230.
The update IVB platform (IVB of platforms Native support of USB 3.0), the ThinkPad to the left side of the fuselage USB interface to enhance the standard of 3.0. RJ45 connector has been criticized by the user is still the right side of the fuselage, and close to the user's location. Believe used the X220 users will surely be the design of the cable interface reservations, especially in the wired network and a wired mouse, because its position is somewhat unreasonable - wireless mouse can slightly alleviate.
lenovo thinkpad t400 battery In addition, the ThinkPad X230 will be before the standard DisplayPort into a mini DisplayPort, so the space is smaller, just do not understand Why before locking the standard DisplayPort to replace the slightly insecure mini DisplayPort, perhaps from the beginning of this year Intel to start to promote the sake of the Thunder Bolt. (Thunder Bolt interface shape and the same mini DisplayPort, versatile, easier to deploy.)
In addition to the excellent ease of use, there is an early ThinkPad consumers willingly pocket factors, it is the heat. Can a 12-inch notebook equipped with a standard voltage processor heat control as excellent, like the X200 is not easy, it almost became a banner, with the "ancient" as an example, consumers will naturally have to "requirements are more stringent.
Day-to-day office environment, the ThinkPad X230's body temperature distribution is uniform, intuitive experience of contact with the body simply do not feel it is running, only outlet that the slightest breeze quietly suggesting. Of course, this is the load intensity is not high state of play 3D games, the upper left area of the keyboard or the fever, at which point the fan noise will increase.
The welfare of the prop Ivy Bridge processor, the ThinkPad X230's battery life than before, X220, X201 has made significant progress in the screen brightness, high-performance power option, 94Wh 9-cell battery can also use more than 10 hours or more. out of office when appropriate to reduce the CPU frequency, screen brightness, measured battery fully adhere to the "all-day unplugged" For now, the ThinkPad X230 mobile office life has been the lead.
lenovo thinkpad x200 batterySent to test the ThinkPad X230 equipped i5 - 3360M dual four thread standard voltage processor, the TDP is 35W, clocked at 2.80GHz, Turbo Boost single-threaded up to 3.50GHz, and integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 graphics card, it also supports Intel vPro technology. Other hardware, built-in 4GB of DDR3 1600 memory and 500GB 7200rpm mechanical hard drive.

The main concern in the daily testing of the CPU processing section. The test is divided into two: first test simply use the CPU to render a high-precision 3D scene images in a single-processor single-threaded run only once, if the system has more than one processor core or multi-threading, the first to use only one thread, the second run all the processor cores and threads.
PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC's overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment systems to notebooks, professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether it is in the hands of the professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, system performance can understand through the PCMark Vantage test content can be divided into the processor test, memory test, graphics test, hard disk test.

Summary
Have to say, the keyboard in the body of ThinkPad has been considered as a legend for the ThinkPad, the release of the new platform, the first concern is not performance much enhance the function of how much progress, but to give lessons on the keyboard of this seemingly backward link especially in this touch is the dominant mode of post-PC era.
On the heritage of ThinkPad spirit X230 body has been fully reflected on the innovation, although there are deep-rooted tradition of the ThinkPad's innovative road is quite bumpy, but its uncompromising spirit is still in.
