LENOVO THINKPAD X130E NOW UP FOR ORDER $429

The Lenovo ThinkPad X130e is now up for order. The 11.6 incher is aimed at students. It was supposed to be available in December, but Lenovo missed that date. Now the laptop is up for order from Lenovo’s website. The base configuration runs $429. It will start shipping in the second week of February.


Two different models of the laptop are available: one with an AMD processor and another with an Intel processor. The AMD configuration starts at $429. The Intel version runs $549.
Both models have 11.6 inch displays with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Other common specifications include 4GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive and 802.11b/g/n WiFi. Because the laptop is aimed at students it has a semi-rugged case with a rubber bumper on the top. The reinforced ports are recessed for protection.

The AMD configuration is available with a choice of AMD E-300 or AMD E-450 APU. Both chips come bundled with powerful Radeon graphics. The Intel configuration has a Core i3-2367M ULV processor and GMA HD 3000 graphics.
