Highly satisfied
on March 4, 2013
Posted by: howdoesitmatter
I upgraded from the antiquated R series to X230. I am very impressed with the design as well as the performance of the laptop. I was wary of the redesigned keyboard. However, my misgivings were dispelled quickly. Overall, this laptop matched my expectations on every count.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Choose Another Laptop
on March 15, 2013
Posted by: DenverGirl
Really disappointed in this choice. ThinkPad is known to be a great computer, but the x230 did not meet that reputation. The track pad often double-clicks and has a difficult time understanding if you're on the right or left side (right-handed people beware). Also, it needs a memory boost, so plan to upgrade that.
Pros - really long battery lift and pretty portable, lightweight, clear screen
Pros: Battery, Weight, Durability, Display resolution
Cons: Memory, Processor, track pad
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

good except for touchpad
on March 26, 2013
Posted by: chun
I've been a thinkpad user for a long time. With my latest purchase of x230, I'm satisfied with everything else except for the touch pad. I had to buy 4 units for my company and every single one has a touch pad that takes too much pressure to press. If Lenovo can have x230 with the touchpad of other models, I would have a perfect laptop for work!
Pros: overall quality
Cons: touchpad

Best Yet
on March 26, 2013

Bought the X230 last August to replace my several-year-old X200, which in turn had replaced some older model! I'm a satisfied Lenovo customer, obviously. I use it primarily for business applications and lots of online activity. Quite speedy with outstanding battery life (9-cell battery). Compact size and solid construction make it ideal for travel. The new keyboard style has won me over - my old machine with its IBM style keyboard now seems klunky and clattery. The little red trackpoint is one of my favorite Thinkpad features - hope they never, ever, do away with this option. Can't comment on Lenovo support because I've never had to contact them--which is a testament to the quality of the product.
Pros: Battery, Weight, Processor, Durability, Keyboard/peripherals, Build Quality

Decent Purchase But Flimsy Keyboard
on March 28, 2013
Posted by: ceeenu
This machine with an mSATA SSD installed is a truly great value performer. mobility and battery life, IPS Screen, everything is just great. But with all the debate about the new keyboard, I believed the positive reviews on many sites about it. How wrong I was, the keys feels delicate , though the response is quiet good, you almost feel them wobbling a bit as you type. And to my horror a few keys came out and keep coming out. Going through lenovo forums seems I am not the only one having this issue. Not sure if its an issue with one of its keyboard suppliers, But its such a shame really for whats otherwise a best in class business machine. I wish lenovo took more care in not disappointing the legions of fans of its earlier hugely popular keyboards.
Pros: Battery, Weight, Durability, Build Quality, Display performance
Cons: Display resolution, Keyboard/peripherals, Screen size
I would recommend this to a friend!

a dissappointing laptop
on March 29, 2013
Posted by: mcht
I was very excited about this laptop when I first bought it, but as I used, it became very annoying for me. I especially wanted a laptop with a minimum noise emission, since I am mostly working at quiet places like libraries and I don't like listening music while working, but laptop always make some constant noise that I cannot bear. I could not figure where the noise coming from, it could be either fan or hard drive, but the constant noise just drives me crazy.
Another disappointing thing about the laptop is wobbly battery. Since this laptop is small and compact, and generally bought for carrying around purposes, I think a wobbly battery is not acceptable and make me dislike the laptop.
Pros: Battery, Weight, Keyboard/peripherals, Display performance
Cons: constant audible noise, wobbly battery, useless mouse
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

heating and smell
on May 31, 2013
Posted by: lenovouser
I just bought the X230. The size, weight and speed are good. The display is so so. The audio is not very good.
The battery is wobbly. The display tilts to the left. The laptop heats up quickly and generates a strong smell.
I have another Thinkpad of the Edge series with a 15 in display. That one is very good. X230 costs much more but gives more problems. I would not recommend X230.
Pros: Weight, Processor, Keyboard/peripherals
Cons: Display resolution, Battery, Build Quality, Display performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
