Beside the basic configurations and crisis resolution, the two notebooks are correct stuffs that IBM Thinkpad Bussiness aimed.

Not too thin machine like HP Spectre, Mac, or other new series, palmrest is wide enough, T and X add more a white backlit keyboard lights with 02 modes brighter/brightest.

Completely remove the VGA port, add HDMI instead and mini HDMI, WiDi integrated. Machine weight 1.7 kg for T and 1.3kg for X.

Front camera is 720p HD recording capabilities, wide angle and it may integrate Face Tracking. Compatible with sound with Dolby Home Theatre installation v4.

According to the site's Spec Lenovo, battery is able to use 18h. But personally I checked it's only 8-10h. Laptops is labelled Ultrabook, it should extend more time usage.

Whom has used T450 or X240 is generally not much different in appearance, but like screens, brighter, hence they got some issue with screen resolution below

Disadvantages:
T460, as my checking the speakers often got strange sound strange crackling sometimes during use, whether for updating audio driver to latest, but it seems not entirely eliminate.

X260, sometimes flashing and vibrating screen. This Lenovo forum was reported

After updating display driver, it's turn to be better, and not significant. Only when you try to check the screen, it still happen.

Some comments shared. First article about reviewing.

Manythanks
