The promise of the AMD Fusion platform-better graphics, longer battery life-seems like it's been delivered based on our benchmarking of the ThinkPad X120e. We've started seeing a flood of AMD Fusion 11.6-inchers hitting stores, and we expect to see even more throughout this year. These energy-efficient processors are targeted at 11.6-inch ultraportables, designed as a replacement of sorts to the AMD Neo line of CPUs. The 1.6GHz AMD E-350 CPU featured in our configuration of the ThinkPad X120e includes onboard semidiscrete graphics, part of a new platform named AMD Fusion. Though the X120e has an entry-level model priced at a more reasonable $399, that config uses the slower AMD E-240 CPU, and has 1GB of RAM and a 250GB, 5,400rpm hard drive-and no Bluetooth. Our $579 configuration also includes 4GB of DDR3 RAM and a 320GB, 7,200rpm hard drive.
These features are all identical to what we saw on the ThinkPad X100e.

The ThinkPad X120e has a USB port that charges devices while the laptop's powered off, along with Bluetooth and HDMI-out. Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacksĮthernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, optional mobile broadband Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone combo jack

To that end, professionals will likely be enticed by the ThinkVantage suite of software tools, as well as the preinstalled Windows 7 Professional operating system. For Web conferencing, the X120e has a slight leg up on other 11.6-inchers. Video quality looked smoothest at 640x480 pixels. An included 1,280x720-pixel Webcam has better low-light sensitivity and overall picture quality than some Netbook-level competitors'. They're better than the average speakers in an ultraportable. Stereo speakers situated under the keyboard at the front of the X120e offer volume that's louder than expected, with a profile that's perfect for spoken word and Web chat.

The X120e's lid bends back a full 180 degrees, opening up flat with the keyboard base, but the screen's clarity suffers at extreme angles. Videos and pictures still look sharp, but not quite as vibrant as on some other screens we've seen. Glare is significantly reduced thanks to the lack of a glossy screen overlay, and as a result text is much easier to read. The matte 11.6-inch screen, with a 1,366x768-pixel native resolution, is as good as on the X100e. It's time to move on, at least in these compact 11-inch systems. Enough already, Lenovo though some might like these nubbins, they're keeping the rest of us from easily pulling off two-finger gestures. The top buttons are there for the trackpoint control, for those who prefer a no-touch-pad lifestyle. The redundancy has been in the ThinkPad X120e, and many other ThinkPads, thanks to the rubbery trackpoint that still stays lodged in the middle of the keyboard. Though the multitouch pad is solidly built, its small, narrow, and wide surface area has a clipped vertical space because of an excess of buttons added by design-namely, both bottom and top buttons. At the top, there's a narrow row of Function keys holding down a Function key to activate volume, screen brightness, and other oft-used controls is required. Shift and Enter keys are full-size, and there aren't any nonsense side columns of keys squishing the classic QWERTY layout. A full-size edge-to-edge raised chiclet-style keyboard is the star of the show ergonomically, with great key response and a comfortable layout for typists. A matte screen and the keyboard deck are framed in solid black plastic all around the screen hinge also mirrors the feel of its larger cousins.
Inside, the X120e is a ThinkPad in miniature. It's also the best ThinkPad budget ultraportable we've seen. Consider the ThinkPad X120e a pricier, but slightly more professional, spin on the competition. A lot of 11.6-inchers will feature this new AMD Fusion platform, which means there will be a lot of choices for interested shoppers. Still, that price is significantly higher than a Netbook-or, for that matter, the HP Pavilion dm1, an 11.6-incher with the same AMD e-350 processor, which starts at $450 for a comparable build. The X120e offers improved graphics and a markedly better battery life at a lower price than its predecessor, the X100e.

The AMD Fusion upgrade amounts to a win for this ThinkPad. The new ThinkPad X120e ranges in price from $399 to nearly $1,000 our version costs $579 and has a 1.6GHz AMD Fusion E-350 dual-core processor-the same one as in the HP Pavilion dm1, the first laptop we reviewed with an AMD Fusion processor. We liked the compact feel and excellent keyboard, but the battery life back then was too short for everyday use.

Stick one into a ThinkPad design, and you have the ThinkPad X120e, an update to last year's ThinkPad X100e (which had AMD's Neo processor). A new wave of AMD Fusion processors aimed at 11.6-inch ultraportables is making its way into Netbook-size laptops, promising a new generation of tiny, well-powered budget super-Netbooks.
