- I got myself a Thinkpad X260 to upgrade from an X230. The only real complaint I have about the hardware is that it only has one RAM slot compared to the two the X230 has. This being my first experience with Skylake hardware...I can say that it's great in laptops at the very least.
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-6300U
RAM: 16GB DDR4-2400
Storage: Intel 480GB SSD

Lenovo has really been improving these past couple of years. The last machine(s) I owned from them were the X220 and X220i notebooks, and they were massive disappointments. I haven't been a massive fan of Lenovo ThinkPads, I always thought the older IBM ThinkPads were nicer, for some reason or another, and the X220 Series machines certainly didn't help my opinion, but I did have a chance to try one of these out, and I'm really quite tempted to give them another try.
Anyway, excellent review, mate - between your review and my positive initial impressions with these, I may end up upgrading to these. I'm more of a Dell guy, but Dell's compact solutions are quite expensive and selection is minimal, so we'll see.
Thinking of the x270. Is the screen size sufficient to have two browsers side by side?
I have the T460s, and it's been great so far. I need to get the main board checked out before warranty concludes. The T460s with the Core i7/24 GB/512 GB SSD is just brilliant. I will replace this laptop in a few years, but I've been very happy with this generation of Thinkpad after a couple of decades of Macs.
Andrew van der Stock hey would you sell that to me?
Guys, let's not lose sight of the fact that this man uses an entire docking station for his trusty Logitech track ball. That's it. No other peripherals.
Still got a t420, use it as my daily driver. It's a great computer but I'm starting to outgrow it
i like ur channel, really nice.i like how u don't add intros n stuff.u keep the things real.(non editied).subbed
Also, on the swap thing. Unless you swap regularly, there is very little reason to use swap today. It's just wasted disk space. I would suggest using a swap file rather than partition, because for those few times you end up swapping, the performance difference is negligible on SSDs. Realistically, if you're using hibernate or sleep, it only needs to stash as much stuff as you have in RAM at the time, so creating a 16 GB swap file is more than sufficient for that purpose. Hopefully, sooner or later they will get around to making suspend / hibernate use a compressed file that only stashes dirty pages rather than all allocated pages so swap can be retired rather than overloaded for this function.
(and I remember the days when I had a 8 MB Mac running A/UX, and needing swap to do things like edit files when X11 was running. I'm talking vi, not emacs. Emacs of course means "8 megs and constantly swapping" ;-)
Hey mate I know this is an old video but I'm hoping to get a reply from you. How did you know the new RAM stick would be compatible with the X260? I've been advised that I have to go for a genuine Lenovo RAM stick and any other brand would likely not work.

I've got one of these, do you find that it randomly freezes for a moment and then starts working again?
Literally all inputs stop, then it starts again. I've got the X260 with the i7, , 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD and 1080p screen.
Other than that, my machine is amazing!
I have this same configuration (except mine is i5-6300u) and I don't have that issue. Using Linux Mint 19.
How bout battery life?
Dell also has pretty decent Linux support. My Latitude E6440 has full support for Ubuntu which I found pretty cool
Business laptops are the best!
I'm getting two thinkpad from school. and going to fix one up for the lady and use the other one for a bed side computer. Debating if i should even keep windows on it since it'll mostly be a lenovo r60 and using linux or bsd seem much better.
dankpad(t420) with ssd here. thinking about a x200 for portability
i enjoyed the x230 speakers :)
Just bought a x260 on an amazing deal. It comes with good FHD screen. I really wish they could add an NVME or use the WWAN Slot as ssd though
Half tempted to get one of these as an upgrade to my X200..
Graham R just bought one, and I'm super happy with it. It came from a local business - i5 with a 240gb SSD and 8GB of ram for under $200.
needs more thinklight
well everyone else is throwing there thinkpads up here so I may as well.
x230t, my first thinkpad now basically belongs to my girlfriend
w500, 1920x1200p screen, I still use it for my job
t420s, basically my daily driver
z61p, 1920x1200p screen, I just use it for goofing around
Why some x260 brands have i5 6200u and some i5 6300u? What is the difference?
VPRO basically.
Can this laptop play 2k videos?
jay baruchel?
way to connected lte or sim card
Looks nice.. My Acer Travelmate Died. but Died... broke i should make a video on the Laptop i am using now... its OLD! but still works ok. :)
need more thinkpad
Nice video! Considering the fact that x260 has such a good price compared with newly x270, I really considering buying it. I need it for displaying 4k video on external monitors. How does it perform with this matter? Somebody tried it?
the x220 wasnt so great though :(
i ordered yesterday on lazada,i hope this model is good
Does the laptop get very hot?
@@_sergioprz not that hot,but it freeze ramdomly,hut not totally stocked up
How is your x260 now? Any update sir?
Its still good for basic tasks and i love the lcd Lcd panel 1920 x 1080 IPS good for movies
@@jebbmolina2074 pinoy? Can i use this to work from home sir? And light video editing. Multiple tabs in chrome and still not laggy??
can it run fallout 4 well
considering the graphics processor, I hiiiiighly doubt it. This uses intel graphics lol look for something with discreet graphics.
The flickering is not the screen it's your camera lol
Most of thinkpad users use linux... :D
the border around the monitor is so wide.
bruh...you have to splurge on a full HD screen...I can't believe you still find 1366x768 remotely acceptable. you don't need a graphical upgrade at that resolution lol.
I got the computer for half a grand on eBay and I was lucky to get it at that price to begin with, so I'm not going to be too picky. That resolution is honestly fine next to my bed, especially on a 12-inch laptop. Where I think 1366x768 is unbearable is on the 14 and 15 inch laptops. It's just too small.
single channel ram on integrated graphs. Bravooo dell.Way to jew customers.
This is a Lenovo laptop by the way... but anyway, DDR4 RAM is ridiculously fast already, I'm not sure if Dual Channel would make that much of a difference.
Dual channel RAM doesn't make as large a difference as you would think nowadays. Maybe back in the DDR(2) days, but not so much now.
armanelgtron yes it DOES. Max C stop spreading stupid things on youtube, the i5 for gaming meme is enought. Dual channel ram is a must
Are you going to continue to make an ass of yourself when I said nothing harsh to you or anyone else in this comment thread?
Didn't insult you and you are clueless about the subject. Check the benches with a 7850k regards to ram speed and dual channel or not. Also some games love hight speed ram like GTA 5 and Witcher 3. You can also see in one of adoredtv's videos benching a 1060 or rx480 on fallout 4 using both single channel and dual channel ram and it was pretty big dif(10 or so fps and a fuck ton Stutter in single channel). Even for everyday use dual channel will feel sorta snappier.
