Lenovo ThinkPad X200 12.1-inch Core 2 Duo Mobile Laptop

The Thinkpad X200 is a state-of-the-art mobile notebook computer. It is, and has been the gold standard of laptops. The design is timeless (hasn't changed in a decade or more) and Lenovo has always kept the hardware up to date.

Includes standard features like a 12.1-inch WXGA (1366 x 768 resolution) with integrated webcam and mobile broadband (upgradeable to AT&T or Verizon 3G w/ GPS through). Also comes with a 5-in-1 media card reader and offers upgrades to 128GB SSD storage and a 9-cell battery if you need your computer to work as fast and long as possible. Weighing in at less than 3 pounds, the Thinkpad X200 seems like a solid machine for young executives, journalists, and other frequent flyer professionals.

If you want the absolute lightest weight (as low as 2.43 lbs) and longest battery life (up to 13.2 hours), you should consider Lenovo's Thinkpad X200s model. Note, however that the X200s does not include an integrated camera.
