    Lenovo X201 vs X301

    Hi there, I am looking to buy a new laptop for myself. Yesterday I went to the market for buying the laptop. I have found numerous brands of laptop but I have decided to buy a laptop from the Lenovo brand. I am looking to buy either the Lenovo X201 or X301. But I am not able to decide which one of these should I choose from? So, if anyone can give me some hint on buying one laptop from these 2 laptops then it would be helpful. Thank you

    The Lenovo X201 laptop comes with 3 different processors namely Intel Core I7 processor I7-640LM (2.13 GHz) with dual core, Intel Core I5 processor I5-520M or I5-540M (2.53 GHz) with dual-core and Intel Core I3 processor I3-330M (2.13 GHz) with dual-core. In addition, it includes a fingerprint reader and is always USB powered, even if the system is idle or turned off. The price of Lenovo X201 starts from $1,199, depending on configuration.

    I would recommend you to go with the ultrabase for your X201 and also get an CD/DVD drive for your usage. But I dont think that you will use the optical drive most of the time. There is also no doubt that X301 is also a good system but the X201 are currently having a good upgrade because of the faster processor range that it has. The price of the Lenovo X301 is also hard to justify because of the end of its useful marketing life.

    I will also suggest you to get the Lenovo X201 laptop. The Lenovo X301 is kind of slower with 45nm tech and you will also not be able to fit a 2.5inch hard drive in it. Beside that the X201's 5700MHD is quite powerful for light gaming on low settings or you can add another video with a HD 5670 for a minimum of US $200 if you want to get more performance from the laptop but note that for this there are different models of X201 which you want to choose from.
