Overview

Lenovo ThinkPad X280: The Ultimate Travel Ultrabook

The X280 marked a complete redesign from its predecessors (like the X270), focusing on making the device thinner and lighter while maximizing performance and port selection for a professional laptop.

Key Configuration Details

Feature	Specification	Detail
Processor	Intel Core i7 (8th Gen)	Typically the quad-core i7-8550U or i7-8650U. The jump to 8th Gen processors provided a significant performance boost over the previous generation, especially in multi-core tasks.
RAM	8 GB DDR4 SDRAM	Adequate memory for professional multitasking, but note that the RAM on the X280 is soldered to the motherboard and not user-upgradable.
Storage	256 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD	A fast Solid State Drive using the NVMe protocol ensures rapid boot times, near-instant application loading, and overall quick system responsiveness.
Display	12.5-inch FHD (1920×1080) Touchscreen	The 12.5-inch size is the defining feature of the X-series, ensuring maximum portability. The FHD Touch option provides high resolution and interactive convenience.
Graphics	Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620	Handles all routine professional tasks, video playback, and connecting to external displays.
Portability	Starting at $\approx 1.13 \text{ kg}$ (2.5 lbs)	Extremely light and thin, making it one of the most travel-friendly business laptops of its generation.

Design & Professional Features

Design Shift: The X280 dropped the Power Bridge (external battery) feature of its predecessors to achieve its remarkable thinness and lightness.
Durability: Built with Carbon Fiber and Magnesium Alloy, the X280 is tested against MIL-STD 810G military standards for ruggedness.
Connectivity: Features a modern port selection, including a powerful Thunderbolt 3 port, a dedicated USB-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, and a full-size HDMI port.
Keyboard: Features the renowned ThinkPad spill-resistant keyboard and TrackPoint pointing device.
Security: Includes ThinkShutter (physical webcam cover), a Match-on-Chip Fingerprint Reader, and the TPM 2.0 security chip.
