Computer maker Lenovo announced the latest entry in its ultraportable line,
the ThinkPad X120e laptop, aimed at small to medium-size businesses. As the
first commercial laptop to feature an Advanced Micro Devices Fusion E-Series
Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), the
ThinkPad X120e offers faster application loading and graphics processing with
enhanced battery life and digital display features starting at less than $400.

Integrating an AMD Fusion E-Series APU
gives users 65 percent faster graphics performance compared with the ThinkPad
X100e with previous AMD processors, which
helps speed up Web searches, page loads and business applications. At the same
time, the ThinkPad X120e gives users longer battery life—up to 30 percent
longer (with a six-cell battery) for more than 6 hours of life—and meets Energy
Star 5.0 specifications. It also carries the EPEAT Gold rating for its
environmental attributes. Additionally, the X120e comes with an HDMI port for
projecting content on another monitor or a TV screen.

“Multimedia elements like audio and video have become important parts of our
world, and businesses are embracing this trend in digital content,” said Dilip
Bhatia, vice president of ThinkPad marketing and product operations for Lenovo.
“We’ve optimized the ThinkPad X120e to not only give businesses an excellent
experience creating and consuming multimedia content, but we’ve also made key
improvements to an area that has plagued laptops: battery life.”

Also featuring an 11.6-inch screen and a full-size keyboard, the ThinkPad X120e
three-cell battery version weighs in under three pounds, and all versions of
the X120e include WiFi and optional Bluetooth and mobile broadband. The
ThinkPad X120e laptop will be available beginning in February through Lenovo
business partners and the company’s Website, according to a company release.

“Mobile users no longer have to trade battery life for great graphics
performance,” said Chris Cloran, corporate vice president and general manager
of the client division of AMP Products Group for AMD.
“AMD Fusion APUs allow for thinner,
cool-running devices that can last the day and do what’s demanded of today’s
professional.”
