Lenovo implements a compact M. We do not understand why Lenovo does not use the modern PCIe 4. However, PCIe Even though it is a more efficient UP4 processor, Intel still combines it with the powerful integrated Xe Graphics G7 with 96 execution units.
There is no performance reduction on battery power. You can play some games with the Xe Graphics G7 as long as the title is not too demanding. Witcher 3, for example, runs smoothly at around 50 fps in the medium preset and the performance is also steady except for one small outlier.
The overall power consumption of the processor is little more than 16W. Please see our tech section for more gaming benchmarks of the Xe Graphics G7. The cooling solution is interesting, because Lenovo uses an unusually long heat pipe across the whole chassis. The single fan dissipates the warm air at the right side of the chassis. The X1 Nano is a very quiet device in everyday scenarios and short peak load can usually be compensated without noticing the fan.
If the fan is running, the noise is not high-pitched. Medium workloads like 3DMark 06 or Witcher 3 result in However, this value will drop to The device hardly warms up at all while idling or under light workloads and stays slightly above room temperature.
We can see two hotspots under load, one at the position of the processor and also at the fan exhaust. You will notice these temperatures when you type, but there are no limitations. The power consumption is 40W at the beginning of the stress test, but levels off at around 19W similar to pure CPU load. Both components get roughly the same power in this scenario; the processor runs at 4x 1.
The performance is not reduced immediately after the stress test. A direct comparison between the two, however, reveals that the sound of the X1 Nano is not quite as rich. The maximum volume of more than 85 dB A is also pretty high.
The preinstalled Dolby Atmos software includes several profiles, which have a noticeable effect on the sound. You can either let the software decide automatically based on the content or select a preset manually like movie, music, communication. We did like communication, where voices are clearly enhanced. The X1 Nano performs well in our consumption measurements, but it does not set any highlights. We recommend avoiding the maximum keyboard illumination on battery power, because it increases the consumption by 2.
The maximum consumption under load is 57W for the whole system, but this value levels off at around 27W after a few minutes. The provided 65W power adapter, which was introduced with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G8 , is therefore completely sufficient.
Lenovo implements a We repeated the tests, but the results did not change. We have also performed the Wi-Fi test with the enabled Windows power saver mode, which improved the runtime by around 1 hour. We also checked the battery runtime with the integrated LTE module and summarized the results in the following table:. We already said the performance is not reduced on battery power, which explains the comparatively short minimum runtime of 98 minutes.
Lenovo delivers a very good performance in many regards. The X1 nano is an interesting new member for the X1 family as an ultra-mobile business subnotebook with a weight under 1 kg. Lenovo also returns to the roots of the X and X1 with a inch screen. The X1 Nano is also the first modern ThinkPad with a panel, and the result is very good: matte screen, brightness above nits, high contrast ratio no PWM, accurate colors, and full sRGB coverage.
The chassis also leaves a very good impression. The low weight does not affect the stability and the X1 Nano should fit in any bag thanks to the compact footprint. However, you have to make compromises in terms of ports with two USB-C ports, which often requires adapters. It is unfortunate that Lenovo did not move the power button from the right side to the top of the base unit like on the upcoming X1 Carbon G9 and implemented a regular USB-A port instead. There is not even a slot for a Kensington Lock.
Lenovo's new ThinkPad X1 Nano is an extremely lightweight inch laptop with a very good screen. The performance utilization is decent and there is not much criticism for the battery runtimes, but the X1 Nano unnecessarily disappoints in terms of the keyboard, which might be reason enough to avoid the device for long-term ThinkPad users. There are some smaller drawbacks like the unnecessary limitation of the WWAN module cannot be upgraded , the M.
The latter is, however, a necessary compromise if you want a very slim device. The much bigger issue is the keyboard. It is smaller than usual and has reduced key travel. The keyboard is still good and offers a precise key stroke, but the typing experience is worse compared to any other ThinkPad. The keyboard used to be a highlight of a ThinkPad in the past, but this is not the case here. Maybe you will not even notice this if you come from another manufacturer, but long-term ThinkPad users will notice the difference immediately.
The X1 nano is still a very good business subnotebook if you can live with the keyboard in favor of a very light and compact device. If you want to purchase a ThinkPad because of the high keyboard quality, however, we recommend you should get a model from the T or X-series, which will probably get a update this year as well.
The ThinkPad x1 Nano is still a very new device and not all retailers have it on stock. Lenovo returns to the roots of the X1 series with the new ThinkPad X1 Nano and includes a inch panel with a aspect ratio. It weighs less than 1 kg, so it is a very interesting device for mobile users, but the keyboard does not meet the high standard we are used from ThinkPads.
The load measurements clearly show the effect of the increased consumption limit for the processor. The maximum consumption in the stress test is This also explains the more powerful watt power adapter. The smaller watt unit would be just sufficient, but it would not have any headroom to charge the battery in this case.
The capacity of the two integrated lithium-ion batteries was slightly increased compared to the previous model and is now 51 Wh. We did not really understand the solution with two integrated batteries last year, and this did not change for the new model. The regular ThinkPad T with the combination of an integrated and an external battery definitely has an advantage in this respect.
We can see increased runtimes compared to the predecessor in our tests. We list the result for the minimum runtime, but we have to check that value again. We did not find a solution for this behavior so far a change of the BIOS settings to Maximum Performance did not help, either. Another run confirmed our initial result. The maximum runtime at the lowest luminance and maximum power-saving features is a little more than 13 hours.
Both batteries are then fully charged. The connector is automatically deactivated when it detects the wrong voltage. The ThinkPad Ts is one of the devices that Lenovo updated only a little this year. The previous Ts was already a very good business notebook, so this is not a big issue. The chassis is still extremely well built. It is both light and stable thanks to high-quality materials like magnesium. The overall quality is one notch above the regular ThinkPad T The keyboard is still one of the best in the mobile segment, but there is still some room for improvements in terms of touchpad and TrackPoint buttons.
The revised ThinkPad T gets a slightly higher score in this respect thanks to better TrackPoint buttons as well as the slightly bigger touchpad. Lenovo also improved the WQHD panel, which is now equipped with a more powerful background illumination.
The new ThinkPad Ts is still a good business notebook with a light as well as sturdy chassis, a brighter WQHD panel and longer battery runtimes. The performance is also higher thanks to Kaby Lake, but the cooling solution has problems with the powerful processor. The performance is reduced significantly on battery power as well. Lenovo did remove the consumption limit of the ULV processor on the previous Ts to utilize the full potential of the processor.
This is also the case for the new Kaby Lake model, but the cooling solution is working at its limit. The processor gets very warm when the clocks surpass 3. The conservative temperature limit adds to the problem. Another issue is the drastic performance reduction on battery power, although there is no apparent reason. We still hope for an update, but the two BIOS updates to version 1. We deduct 3 percent from the final rating for this performance limitation, so our test model misses a "very good" rating in its current state.
We review the top-tier configuration of the new Lenovo ThinkPad Ts. Besides a healthy amount of memory as well as storage and a new Kaby Lake processor, the Chinese manufacturer also implements a brighter WQHD panel. We are a bit surprised by the weak cooling performance, because the ULV processor cannot utilize its full potential.
