Overview

The Lenovo ThinkPad X390 (20Q1S4X200) is a business ultraportable built for professionals who spend much of their time on the move. At just 2.84 pounds and 0.67 inches thin, it slips easily into any bag while packing a capable Intel Core i7-8665U quad-core processor with boost speeds up to 4.8 GHz. The 16GB of onboard DDR4 RAM and 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD ensure that office applications, web conferencing, and multitasking run smoothly. The 13.3-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen offers crisp visuals with good viewing angles, and the 6-cell 48 WHr battery provides solid endurance for a workday away from the desk.

Connectivity is a strong suit, with Thunderbolt 3, two USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, HDMI, an additional USB-C port, and a headphone/mic combo jack. The fingerprint security system offers quick biometric authentication, and Windows 10 Pro brings enterprise-ready features like BitLocker encryption and domain join capability. The included Dockztorm USB Hub adds further expansion options. While the integrated Intel UHD graphics won't satisfy creative professionals needing GPU acceleration, the X390 excels at what it was designed for: reliable, lightweight computing for business users who value the ThinkPad's renowned keyboard quality and build durability.
