Considering the highly dissatisfying coverage of the sRGB (57 percent) as well as AdobeRGB standard (41 percent), the subnotebook is hardly suited for professional picture or graphics applications.
#INSTALL OFFICE 2011 14.5.6 UPDATE FULL#
Unfortunately, we cannot confirm hopes that the expensive Full HD panel would offer a better performance in terms of color reproduction. However, the WXGA version is not really worse in these disciplines (712:1), only the even cheaper entry-level version with a TN panel should fall behind. Black value (0.52 cd/m² with the maximum brightness) and contrast (728:1) are above average and result in a rich and vivid picture. Lenovo also uses the same panel for the ThinkPad Yoga, although with an additional digitizer layer. The panel of our review unit has the designation LP125WF2-SPB2. However, this is hardly annoying in practice, and we can only speak for our specific review unit there are usually somewhat large deviations in regard to the brightness distribution.Ī high-quality IPS panel is obviously the only choice for a high-end device. Subjectively, the brightness distribution is very even over the whole display surface, we can only see a slight case of screen bleeding under certain circumstances (black background, no ambient light, maximum luminance). You can adjust the brightness with 15 steps all the way down to 5 cd/m² in dark environments. The small deficit compared to the Dell Latitude E7240 (Full HD Touch: 389 cd/m², WXGA version only 211 cd/m²) is acceptable HP's EliteBook 820 G1 (211 cd/m²) on the other hand does not stand a chance. The space on the desktop is increased at the same time: Even some multitasking is possible if you waive an adjustment of the scaling option to increase the size of symbols and fonts – this is hardly possible with the WXGA version.Įven though our review unit cannot manage the advertised maximum brightness (400 cd/m²), the measured result of 348 cd/m² is still impressive nonetheless. Instead of 125, the display now has an impressive 176 ppi, which results in a very sharp presentation even with small viewing distances. īecause of the increased resolution from 1366x768 to 1920x1080 pixels (with the same diagonal size of 12.5 inches), the pixel density makes a big jump as well.
All the details can be found in our original article. Note: Because of the mostly unchanged configuration compared to our first review, we will not have a closer look at the case, the input devices and some other sections. Both the EliteBook 820 G1 and the Latitude E7240 can be configured with similar hardware specifications, but they are not really cheaper, either. Rivals for the ThinkPad are once again mainly offered by HP and Dell. For this money you get a Core i7-4600U, 8 GB RAM as well as a 256 GB SSD, and the X240 is also equipped with an integrated LTE module. In the case of our review unit, you will have to pay 1,900 Euros (~$2577). In the meantime, the high-quality subnotebook is also available with a more suitable Full HD IPS display, which costs another 100 Euros (~$136). We could not criticize a lot when we reviewed the Lenovo ThinkPad X240 a couple of months ago: Great build quality, excellent mobility and comprehensive security features – even the very high retail price seemed somewhat justified.
