Terrible Customer Support from Lenovo + Coil Whine
Google Lenovo customer support and count how many horror stories you read. Follow up on the Lenovo return process, I have finished typing the review and I am still on hold for the return. Unbelievable.
Pros:
- I bought this laptop from the factory, I read reviews saying how bad the customer support is, but I thought to myself that will never be me
- Unfortunately, it is
- The day after I received it I was hearing coil whine from inside the laptop
- Also, the wireless connection was slow or nonexistent.
Cons:
- I know, for a convertible tablet PC, this is the best spec
- But know what you're getting into with tech support
- Lenovo's service has been unprofessional and inexcusable
- Also, in my case, it looks like Lenovo is cutting corners with internal components
- Coil whine is a bad sign

Review: Lenovo ThinkPad X230
A little over a year ago, just before ultrabook mania got its start, we crowned Lenovo's ThinkPad X220 a near-masterpiece of ultralight laptop design. The 12.5-inch, 3.3-pound laptop had power to spare, nearly five hours of battery life with the stock 6-cell unit, and a solid array of ports.
Pros:
- Configuration covers all the bases, particularly for business users clinging to legacy peripherals
- Street cred in the boardroom
Cons:
- Suddenly thick and heavy in an ultrabook world
- Disappointing battery life vs
- its predecessor
- Acceptable but uninspiring performance
- Keyboard switcharoo will cause pitchforks to be brandished

If you're in a mobile occupation where mixing laptop and tablet functions will enhance your productivity, this ThinkPad convertible is an attractive offering-but you'll soon have a number of less chunky Windows 8 hybrids to choose from.
Pros:
- Solid construction and performance
- Instant-on from sleep mode
- Backlit keyboard
Cons:
- Weight and thickness
- Screen bounces when performing touch tasks in notebook mode

Lenovo ThinkPad X230 (Tablet PC)
We routinely give ThinkPads high praise for their comfortable keyboards, sturdy build and solid performance. With the ThinkPad X230 Tablet ($1,349 as tested), Lenovo adds a rotating touchscreen to the X230, making it a good fit for workers who need to input data either via touch or pen.
Pros:
- All-day battery life
- Excellent keyboard
- Exceptional sound quality
- Myriad business software options
Cons:
- Touchscreen offers limited functionality
- Underwhelming display quality
