Tips for shopping Lenovo X270.

Hi, I'm hypotizeing to leave my Lenovo x220 for a Lenovo X270 (like new conditions and 10 months of warranty) that I've found for a 290 euro.

It seems to me an average good price, considering this notebook has:

Processor: 1x Intel Core i5-6300U Processor(Core i5-6300U)
Memory: 1x 16GB DDR4-2133
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64 preinstalled through downgrade rights in Windows 10
Hard Drive: 1 x 180GBOPAL2.0

What about it ?

Does it worth the price and represents an effective upgrade respect to Lenovo X220 ?

 

In my opinion, no. The i5 in the X270 is only a modest bump in performance over the i5 in your X220.

 

I think it would be done an overall consideration, not only CPU...

If you want to do it, then do it, but I still don't think it's much of an upgrade. If you have a specific need for a lot of memory, then perhaps the X270 is worth the cost. You could also upgrade the X220 to 16GB for a lot less.

 

You're not considering battery life, ssd, gpu, display and portability.

Considering only CPU and ram has no sense, in my opinion.

ZaZ is one of our foremost business laptop experts, so it would be wise to heed the advice given. However, it sounds like you've already made up your mind.

 

I simply don't understand because to consider only CPU and ram in a business notebook...

A modest performance increase in any of those categories, which is in my opinion what the X270 will offer you, does not justify spending the money. You are of course free to feel otherwise and purchase whatever you like.

If the X220 you have now does not have the IPS screen and the X270 does, that in my opinion would be a very tangible benefit and worth the cash.

 

This x270 has a full hd display but not ips.

The x220 has no IPS display, too.

But the quality could be however higher.

I'm really not sure in what to do but for a little less than 300 euro it appeared to me like a good deal considering its several remaining of warranty.

This seems odd to me. According to the specs the FHD should be IPS unless it was different in Europe.

 

It was odd to me, too.
But if you read the review on notebookcheck.com you'll see there are at least four different full hd display that were mounted on x270.

The review I saw said there were three screens, including on FHD IPS, but that was for Germany.

 

The one I'm about to buy is made for UK market.

It has both type of batteries: 3 cells and 6 cells.

It seems very odd to me that they would offer a TN FHD screen only in the UK, but it could have swapped later. If it doesn't have the IPS screen, I'd pass, but that's me.

 

So do You think that if it's full hd than it's IPS, too ?

I think that's the most likely scenario, but I'd ask before spending your money.

 

I've received x270 just today... but I don't know how to recognize if it has full hd display or not.

If the text is very small, it's FHD or you could see what the resolution is set to in Display Properties.

 

The vertical Res in display prop is 768... that's hd and not full hd.
