You would think that more choice is better than less, but too much choice can be confusing and buyers are often overwhelmed by the various models and configurations that are available on the market today. Many potential buyers seek professional advice, for example, in various online forums. In our first buyer’s guide, we will take a look at a manufacturer that has a rather complex PC lineup, which is not always easy to see though. We are talking about Lenovo. As it would be too much to try to tackle the whole range of mobile Lenovo laptops in one article, we will focus only on the T and X series ThinkPads. The title already mentions that we are most interested in mobility. We will be talking about performance and connectivity in a separate article.

This article is not a simple summary of the individual reviews. Instead, we want to focus on the biggest differences in terms of mobile use between the laptops. Therefore, we will not be talking about the quality of the keyboard or other input devices, as they are of similar high quality for all ThinkPads. The same can be said for the quality of the case. Please take a look at our detailed individual reviews for possible alternatives from other manufacturers.

By now, we have advanced relatively far into the model cycle of the Kaby-Lake generation, and we have tested almost all models of the T and X series, with the exception of the T470p which is currently being tested. This means that at the time of publishing there are no results for this model. Reviews are available for all other models: The T470, the T570 (incl. 4K update), the T470s, the X1 Carbon as well as the X270.
