Lenovo ThinkPad X270 Review 

I just bought a x270 within the last 3 months (2021) and if your looking for a solid all rounder that you can travel with, this is a great tool for you. As a progrmmer, I demend a lot from my machine and this delivers.

i love how happy she is while doing the review of this laptop :) go lisa!

AS ALWAYS LISA YOUR TECH VIDEOS ARE THE BEST VERY DETAIL ,THANK YOU

Thinkpad: the Glock of laptops.

Thanks for all the ThinkPad reviews I could ever need

the best reviwer i have seen on youtube the information that really matter ! congrats keep doing it

You do the absolute BEST reviews in the history of you tube. Thank you!

I love your thinkpad reviews, keep them commmming

Hi Lisa, came across your channel recently and I subscribed immediately. Incredibly detailed reviews and heavily focused on the technical aspects of the review products. Wunderbar!!

Great review! Nice to see the internals, helps alot!

thank you for the review, literally just bought the last X270 and now they're sold out (at least for now), it was only available with the TN display, has to be the worst thing about this laptop but for the price i decided to keep it, have to say, it is much nicer than i expected, very smooth for general purpose use, it has a very nice look to it too, not what i expected, best part by far is how solid it feels and the keyboard, battery life seems excellent, matter of fact i have set the charging threshold set to 80% since i rarely use it for 10-12 hours straight, track-pad could improve but all and all it is a solid laptop.

I can't believe they still offer laptops with 4GB's of RAM especially when the starting price is around $800

X270 is the last good X series laptop.

It's so nice. That classic 90's boxy, black, non flashy laptop. Wish they made a version with a little higher specs, like closer to the LEGION Y520. I want a small laptop like this, great old fashion feeling best laptop keyboard, not flashy. Just a classic looking laptop, for a everyday laptop, that can be used by consumers, not just for the workers.

thanks for this video. You are one of the very first in making the review of this model. You are a leader

Lisa Gade? More like Lisa Great!

Always the place for excellent reviews!

And I'm still using my X230 tablet I got in 2012. Still works great. Core i5 vPro with 8gb of ram. Very fast and great.

I just purchased the X270 with the standard HD TN screen...returned it immediately. Got a replacement with FHD instead, glad to know that option is way better!

Love your videos! Truly the best tech reviewer on RU-vid. Please, please review the Thinkpad X280 when you get a chance!

Thank you for this review. I'm looking forward for a review of the new P71.

Lisa, Thank you for doing an "inside" look to see whether RAM is upgradeable. This is always a concern for me (and I'm sure many others). I hate it when reviewers just completely gloss over that!

x260 user. I'm pretty sure everyone knew the x270 wasnt going to change much. even the x250 users agreed. thinkpads is pretty predictive, they focus on reliability and durability, thats why many conpanies still use them. good tip: buy the base model with 1080p screen and upgrade ssd and ram with aftermarket parts. if you need the warranty, simply swap back to oem parts before shipping.

I'm really impressed how Lenovo design Thinkpad series, especially the X series that have bridge battery system. They're using at least intel Core i5, some series just like X270 even have Core i7 inside it, which means it will need some space for the cooling system. But they use like almost 50% of the entire bottom panel just for the battery ( internal and external ). And here is the thing, it still has a PCIe old slot ( on the left side, the wide one, not the M.2 ), it's wide for sure. More over it still has some upgradeability ( RAM, NVMe, Wifi Card ) and internal GSM modem. I can't believe how efficient they designed the motherboard for a Core i5/i7 Processor machine. It's very small and compact, yet also has all basic upgradeability. That's why I really love thinkpad, but I don't have enough money to buy one.

omg i was waiting for this forever

Love your reviews Lisa! I was wondering if you could do a review on the ThinkPad T470, cheers

Thank you for the review!

Apart from keeping the ports, chunky look helps in making the think easier to just move around. You can get a proper grip whereas true ultrabooks feel like you're pinching a sheet of ally and never seem securely held.

Happy to see that you're still alive. :)

Love your reviews

Do a review of the t470 soon! Cant wait for that

I am still using my ThinkPad X201. It still runs perfectly with no issues. I have the docking station and using the computer with a 1080p monitor along with the laptop screen. I only upgraded the hard drive to a Samsung SSD 500gb a couple years ago which made the laptop seem 10 times quicker. Overall it is great for travelling. I just pop it in my old IBM branded X60 leather ThinkPad bag. Still deciding if I want to upgrade to the X270. Maybe it's time to retire the X201 after 6 years of service.

very nicely described!! i like your confident & your styles how to keep mind street or focused on you ❤ good thumsup👍

OMG!! Over 14 hours!!

I'm ordering one of these Friday refurbished for under £150gbp and this review has really helped me get a great idea of what to expect. Thank you

ive had 3 thinkpads and I intend to keep buying them. BEST keyboard period. The x 2xx line is my favorite for on the go, the t-series is nice also. I like the subdued look of them

Good video and very informative. Thanks Lisa. Ganbatte...

The selling point to me was... the comfort with which she could hold that laptop with one hand... and then obviously, the name "thinkpad" !!!

Best Laptop reviews in the interweb. Keep it up and thanks.

Another superb review. Your trade mark.

Hi Lisa...big fan of yours! Best reviews for Thinkpads by far! Btw, when is the review for the ThinkPad Yoga 370 & Thinkpad YOGA 270 be available?

Hi Lisa, is there any chance you're going to review the new Lenovo yoga 720 13inch ? Thanks and hope you all the best.

Are you going to do a review of the 2nd Generation X1 Yoga?

great review as always. how about the T470 review?

Great, impressive review. I liked it!

Appreciate your content.

thanks for the review

That removable battery is beast

i have already bought this model. i love the keyboard

I loved the way you put it "how long you wanted it to last👊" 😉

nice review! thanks!

I wish you made a review on SC reader and the way it works as long as this is a mostly an enterprise business laptop. i will be thankful if you consider this for the next videos :) thank you very much.

Lol on the t-shirt Lisa! I wish that I could get a removable battery on my Alienware, but oh well, love my machine!

Hey Lisa, I was wondering if you'll ever get to reviewing the Lenovo Yoga 720. It looks like a serious rival to the XPS 15, and given the reported problems with the latter laptop, I'd love to hear you talk about the Yoga 720!

I still using x230

Is the 47Wh battery a flush design like the default 23Wh one? Or does it raise the laptop like the 72Wh battery.

Hey that was nice review, Where can I get that 6 cell battery for the same battery

Lisa, you should review the T470p

Your videos feel like home to me. Thank you!

In the lenovo thinkpad x270 website, it states that it weights ~1.3kg. does the ~1.3kg includes the removable battery or without it?

Would love to see T470 and T470p reviews as well :)

I hope the new Thinkpads in 2021 and 2022 still have that battery options.

Could you do a review with internal view of a Toughbook cf-54? no one ever does any reviews of rugged notebooks.

Lisa you rock!

Can you please do a review on the 2017 Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga

at last the one i'm waitin.. i really hope it will bundle with dedicated graphic, so it will be PERFECT, well i'm still gonna buy tho

I absolutley love my x270. Had it For close to two months and I couldn't dream of needing or wanting anything else. Your review really sold me on this laptop. I must have watched your review 10 times before it arrived! Your videos are simple, to the point and very well presented. Thank you!

Will you be reviewing the T570 soon?

You do such a good job with these! ... Somewhat random question -- how much bigger is the T470p than the T470? I'm attracted to what seems to be more power for the buck with the "p" model, and I am not a small person so don't mind a little extra weight. But I don't want to push the size to the point where it is no longer really portable. Any advice would be great!

First of all thanks for the review. I am trying to buy a laptop for my father for a couple of weeks and have watched almost all of your recent reviews and smackdowns, they helped me a lot. Finally I am a bit confused b/w zenbook series ux330ua and zenbook flip ux360uak-dq240t (touch screen main difference). He isn't going to open many applications or chrome tabs at the same time. And his primary requirement would be, if he clicks on the icon, it should open as fast as possible. Same goes for the touch screen, that it should be smooth, responsive, and sturdy. But there's no way for me to confirm this. I live in a remote town, Shujalpur, in India, so we don't have any laptop outlets here, or any high range phone outlets for that matter. Even, none of the stores in our whole state has a piece, for demo purposes of touch screen. Could you please make a video, reviewing ux360uak or atleast give a basic idea about touch screen? Again, thanks a lot for videos, really appreciate your reviews and smackdowns.

Dear Lisa,when do you review Thinkpad X280 and X1 new face 2018? Thank you very much.

can you do a review on the Porsche design book one and smack down vs the surface book performance base, please!

i am waiting to see the review of t470

Thanks for the review Lisa.. I just purchased this laptop.. Anyone know how to find out when it is 100% fully charged while charging when the laptop is turned off? There is no LED indicator that “says” it is fully charged. Thank you.

i would suggest you wait until the next X series thinkpad, mostly because it is the only one that lenovo hasn't update the design already, while the t470 has been updated already even after the t460 update.

I think you missed to mention the speakers or are there none?

I wish Lenovo makes a x201 with fhd ips screen, big trackpad and thunderbolt 3 and dual battery

I'm still rocking an X240. Still relevant as X270 doesn't really give much to the table compared to the older brother. Anyway, another comprehensive review from you, Lisa. I've enjoyed your review since the X230 XD

hmm, big batteries are always a huge plus for me. would this be a good laptop for a college student who needs to take a lot of notes off the charger?

Hey Lisa! How many laptops do you have?

"You could even get a couple of different batteries and carry them with you...My God, you're ready for an Arctic expedition for a week right...." I bigtime LOL'd....good times! :-)

how is the speaker? I heard some pretty bad things about it

2021 year, it`s time to buy)

I get hyped every time I see you on my feed. Lisa's back at it again with another fresh review. You know it's about to get real in here... What are you selling me today Lisa?!

How long has this been the Thinkpad keyboard layout? My X220 (circa 2012) had the best small keyboard layout ever, and then at some point Lenovo went crazy and started removing keys and putting the rest in random locations. They seem to be slowly heading back towards sanity, but the PgUp/PgDn and PrtSc keys are still in bizarre places. They need to bring back the extra row of small keys at the top; those were really useful.

Hi, today with a good refurbished one, do you think you can use it for FreeCad? Thanks

What would you recommend, the ThinkPad X270 or the T470p?

if you buy the device without 4glte does it still have the sim card slot on the frame to insert the sim card and require only to install a gobi card?

Hey Lisa you are really great.

will you recommend this or x1 yoga gen 2?

Love the Thinkpad! Most of my videos in this small channel are edited on my X230. XD

what is slit opening on the left hand side. Does this support expresscard?

I bought one from an IT charity on eBay for £135. Like yours, only with the regular original slim battery, 8 GB ram, 250GB NVME non1080p screen. I won't upgrade my screen to 1080p because I don't want everything my 24 inch home monitor has crammed into a screen that's 10+ inches shorter. I have upgraded to 16 GB ram, replaced the NVME with a 500GB I had laying around and I bought a genuine new 72 wh replacement battery and I re-pasted the CPU/GPU. Chinese generic batteries are NOT good, I had nothing but massive performance problems with it. I love this laptop.

Just curious ! Is there any Lenovo Thinkpad 14" with two m.2 slots ( 1 for boot drive & 1 for storage ) or may be 1 m.2 + 2.5" drive slot ?? If yes i may think to upgrade. More over i use AutoCad 3D and solid works a lot. Is it ok to have i7 7200U or should i opt for 7700HQ. ?

pls do a video on T570

Please review the 470p

could you please review the x1 yoga 2017?

I like it too!

@mobiltech one question the cpu si dual core o quadcore. If the answer is dual, is posible chance for a quadcore. Thanks.

are there 2port dauhter cards so you can put two hardrives?
