It has been almost a year since I got my hands on the X140e now!
And I am excited to be the FIRST reviewer of this computer.
Lenovo has just released this hardware configuration on this model,
which makes it the Worlds Fastest Gaming Netbook:



This laptop is AMAZING quality its current Black - Friday / Cyber - Monday price tag of $259 same day delivered by Amazon. Retail is closer to $600 so snag em while you can!
The construction has VERY LITTLE plastic! A lot of carbon and brushed metal! It is very solid and does not bend even when held from the edges.

2 USB, Card Reader, Webcam, HDMI, Ethernet, Wifi, Bluetooth, Headphone-combo-jack, volume and power buttons on the side. The battery is located UNDER the bottom cover were you can also find 1x RAM slot and your SATA slot for your H-drive. I am a little sad that only 1 ram slot is available, but you can put up to a 16GB stick in there so you are not too limited on memory.

SPECS
----------------------------
CPU: AMD A4-6210 Quad Core 4x 1.80GHz 2MB L2
GPU: AMD Radeon R3 128@600MHz
RAM: 8GB Crucial Ballistix PC12800 9-9-9-24 (upgraded from 4GB)
HDD: 256GB AMD Radeon SSD


The Processor is by far the BIGGEST jump!
The previous A4-5000 was decent but would lack single thread processing power due to its rather low clock speed of only 1.5GHz.
The jump to 1.80GHz gives youa much needed %20 gain in clock speed across all 4 cores, improving both single and multi-tasking.

The GPU is a smaller, but still noticeable improvement.
AMD paired the APU up with R3 graphics and Lenovo decided to throw the fastest R3 chip in the 11e that is available with 128 cores @ 600MHz.
The performance is pleasing! Paired with low latency - high speed RAM (9-9-9-24) PC12800 8GB Crucial Ballistix and a %20 overclock with MSI Afterburner, I was able to obtain 1007 3D Mark 11 Points.
(vs 700 points with the X140e)

Gaming Performance
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am able to run ANY title available on low settings!
Some on higher details and a few older titles even maxed out like Resident Evil 5 and Left4Dead2, which
take great advantage of the multiple CPU cores. Titles like GTA IV, World of Tanks, the latest Call of Duty series and Battlefield 3 all run at full native resolution (1366x768) with high texture and the rest low at a minimum 30+ FPS (busy scenes). Even the highest demanding and latest titles will run at lowest setting.
GTA 5 is giving 40+ FPS on lowest set up.







GREAT PORTABLE GAMING COMPUTER!
When it comes to budget gaming nothing on the market comes close in such a small size!

There is a difference between "gaming notebook" and a piece of plastic with too much bezel. Also where the temps?

i love that title :laugh: Worlds Fastest Mobile Gaming Netbook :laugh:

are they really marketing this as a gaming machine? i couldn't find it anywhere in they're ad's.

can you link your review of the laptop please? I'd love to read it.

im not lauging @ You, its just your username is "hoax" (wasnt sure if your just joking) and this machine is not a gaming machine, i checked around, its marketed as business/student use.

With that username, how could you guys not believe him?

:p

To his credit, Thinkpads are pretty awesome, but I don't know if any netbook can really be called a "gaming" device.

This reeks of really bad advertising...

Like, the worst... and most ineffective one. Basically you're spreading misinformation OP, this POS is hardly a good netbook let alone a good gaming device.

But Ill keep it in mind next time I need an expensive brick to toss through some windows.

Benchmark Scores Don't know any benchmark. It runs good enough for me.
For moment I thought this thread would be the rebirth of the alienware m11x! Quite downer, I would not say this is a gaming netbook perhaps it can play old games well from year 2010 and below. The possible gaming netbook now would be the Microsoft surface book. Recent Macbook air 11 inch with current broadwell cpus are decent low-mid range setting gaming machinces.

battlefield 3 is like 2012?
And I am running GTA5 at 40FPS average.
Name me a title - if I have it in my steam gallery, I will test it.

I gotta ask man, I've been hunting for a super budget, semi capable, low profile set up for awhile, and upon seeing this, I'm desperately hopeful. However, none of the embedded vids load, so I have to ask, how legit is this? Not trying to mock, again, just hopeful, haha.

Are you Jay Raxter I Think NOT
Published on Dec 14, 2014
this Vid works

You are posting a review of a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LAPTOP buddy.
That's an X140e vs the 11e I am reviewing here.
- And I discontinued that youtube account.

The X140e is SIGNIFICANTLY slower than the 11e in terms of memory speed, GPU and especially CPU (%30 faster)
