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

Feature	Specification	Detail
Processor	Intel 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.
RAM	8 GB DDR3L SDRAM	Sufficient 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).
Storage	256 GB SSD	A 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.
Display	12.5-inch Anti-Glare Display	This size ensures maximum portability. Common resolutions are HD ( $1366 \times 768$ ) or, less commonly, Full HD ( $1920 \times 1080$ ) IPS.
Graphics	Integrated Intel HD Graphics 4400	Handles all routine business tasks, video playback, and supports external displays via Mini DisplayPort and VGA.
Portability	Starts 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.
