Overview

 Lenovo ThinkPad X240: Key Features and Specifications

The X240’s design philosophy centered on being an on-the-go workhorse, known for its compact size, robust build quality, and unique battery system.

Core Configuration Details

FeatureSpecificationDetail
ProcessorIntel Core i5 (4th Gen)Typically the dual-core i5-4200U or i5-4300U (Haswell). These are efficient processors that balance performance with thermal management, ideal for an ultrabook.
RAM8 GB DDR3L SDRAMSufficient for smooth multitasking across office applications. Important Note: The X240 only has one SO-DIMM slot and officially supports a maximum of 8GB RAM (though some users reported success with 16GB, it is not officially supported and is less common).
Storage256 GB SSDA fast Solid State Drive (SSD) using either SATA or an optional M.2 SSD slot (for caching or smaller storage in some variants) ensures very fast boot-up and quick application loading.
Display12.5-inch Anti-Glare DisplayThis size ensures maximum portability. Common resolutions are HD ($1366 \times 768$) or, less commonly, Full HD ($1920 \times 1080$) IPS.
GraphicsIntegrated Intel HD Graphics 4400Handles all routine business tasks, video playback, and supports external displays via Mini DisplayPort and VGA.
PortabilityStarts at $\approx 1.36 \text{ kg}$ (3.0 lbs)Extremely lightweight and thin ($\approx 20 \text{ mm}$), making it ideal for frequent travel.

 Standout Feature: Power Bridge Technology

Like the X250 and X260, the X240 uses the Power Bridge system:

  • Dual Battery: It features a small internal battery combined with an external, hot-swappable battery (available in 3-cell, 6-cell, or even a large 72Wh 6-cell cylinder).

  • Exceptional Endurance: With the largest external battery, the X240 could achieve a claimed battery life of up to 17 hours, a major selling point for road warriors.

Design & Trade-offs (Key Differences from Predecessors)

The X240 made some controversial design changes that users should be aware of:

  • TrackPad/TrackPoint: It introduced the buttonless trackpad, which integrated the TrackPoint’s dedicated physical buttons into the large glass touchpad itself. This was a significant shift from previous ThinkPads, and the click mechanism was often criticized.

  • Keyboard: The keyboard lost the dedicated volume buttons and some other function keys compared to earlier models.

  • Durability: It retains the signature ThinkPad durability with a glass-fiber reinforced plastic chassis and MIL-SPEC compliance.

  • Connectivity: It offers a robust set of ports, including 2x USB 3.0, VGA (for older projectors), Mini DisplayPort, and a full-size RJ-45 Ethernet port.
