Lenovo ThinkPad X230
Last year, the ThinkPad X220 won our Editor's Choice award, and it passes the crown on to the new ThinkPad X230. Yes, there are thinner and sexier looking ultraportables, but none pack the processing power, IPS display and that unbeatable keyboard.
Pros:
- Extremely fast yet small and light
- plenty of ports
- IPS display is excellent
Cons:
- ThinkPad look isn't for everyone
- it's a bit thick compared to admittedly less powerful Ultrabooks

One of the best Thinkpads
I am really happy with this model and the way Flipkart handled the packaging and shipping. It arrived within a week of ordering. This model is really portable workhorse! Has full fledged 3 gen i5 processor and an amazing 'Thinkpad' build.

Lenovo ThinkPad X230 review
There are a lot of laptops out there. Faster laptops, laptops with better speakers and trackpads, higher resolution displays and sleek, aluminum chassis. But none of those laptops are a ThinkPad.
Pros:
- Long battery life
- Bright display offers wide viewing angles
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons:
- Disappointing 1366x768 resolution
- Speakers are a bit lackluster
- Small trackpad offers poor gesture support
