Even though when a laptop gets rid of size it usually means getting rid of the features and performance that makes it unique, this is not the case with the IBM Thinkpad. In fact, even though this computer only weighs in at 2.7 pounds, which makes it the smallest laptop that IBM has, it manages to be very light and at the same time very functional.

This computer is very portable and is easy to customize with additional ports, options for expansions, and different batteries. It includes a four cell battery, which fits in completely flush with the design so that nothing sticks out in any way. This computer is extremely tight and complete, in its own package.

Although the base has many different ports and connectors, there is no integrated disk drive. However, this is common with most computers and laptops of this size. If you would like to have a disk drive, you can add one on, which will only add 1.3 pounds to the computer and will attach to the bottom. This will move most of the ports to the back of the computer, so keep this in mind when ordering.

One of the nice things about this computer is its size. It is extremely compact, which means you can travel with it easily and fit it just about anywhere. Even though it is very small, the keyboard is full sized, even though there is no touchpad for the mouse.

Keep in mind that the display is only 12.1 inches, but this is big enough for small business tasks or email. It is attached much more securely than older ThinkPad models, so that this computer is one of the smallest as well as one of the most durable on the market today.

If you are traveling often, or if you find yourself in situations where you need a small computer that can still get the job done, this is the computer that you should choose because it is durable as well as small. It can get the work done easily by going exactly where you go.
