IBM ThinkPad X41 First Thoughts Review（X41国外原版评测，图片和数据）

The IBM ThinkPad X41 notebook is a 12.1" screen ultraportable style machine that follows in the footsteps of last years ThinkPad X40 release.  Noteworthy for the X41 is that it has a 1.50 GHz Pentium M 758 processor that uses the latest Intel 915GM chipset.  So while most ultraportables on the market sport a 1.10 GHz or 1.20 GHz Pentium M, IBM is able to leverage its design prowess to keep this tiny laptop cool while running a faster processor.  Decent speed and performance are two things people generally expect to give up when using an ultraportable, but the X41 shows this does not have to be the case.

IBM x41 作为x40的后继产品依然延续了x40小巧和轻便的特点，采用了12.1的显示屏。但让我们惊奇的是它采用了1.50GHz Pentium M758的处理器和915GM芯片组，相对于市场中主流便携笔记本电脑所配置的低电压版的1.10GHz或者1.20GHz的Pentium M处理器来说，超轻便笔记本 IBM的 x41无疑再次占领了先机。一般来说，使用轻便笔记本的用户不的不降低对笔记本性能的要求，也就是鱼和熊掌不可兼得，但x41的出现似乎否定了这一点。

The ThinkPad X41 is built in the same rugged manner as any other X or T series notebook from IBM.  Don't let the size of the X41 fool you, it may look cute and small, but once you pick it up and feel the titanium reinforced plastic case you'll understand this is a device that's been designed to take a beating and not just to look suave.  There's just nothing chintzy about this machine; the hinges, keyboard, screen cover, case and trackpoint buttons all exude physical quality.

当你看到x41第一眼的时候会感觉它有种娇贵不堪一击的感觉，但当你拿起它感觉到钛复合材质的质感时就能感觉到它的坚固所在。

Design & Build / Overview

The X41 is wonderfully light and thin.  The X41 is 1.06" inches thin and with the longer life 8-cell battery I have the X41 weighs 3.2lbs, if you use a 4-cell battery the weight is cut down to 2.7lbs.  Even at 3.2lbs it's easy and fun to pick up the X41 and wave it around with one hand, just because you can.  Try doing that with a notebook that has a screen over 15" in size.  After 2-weeks I still get a kick out of throwing the X41 in my notebook bag and not even noticing it's there, my back thanking me all the while.  And all those folks on the subway wonder why I'm smiling.

One thing that is common in ultraportables, but that must be pointed out, is that there is no built in optical drive for the X41, nor has there ever been for the X-series.  That's part of the formula for keeping the weight down and the overall package thin.  So what happens when you need to load software from a DVD or CD?  That's when you'll need an expansion base such as the ThinkPad X4 UltraBase Dock.  This dock has a built-in optical drive a bunch of ports, you simply slot the X41 into it when you arrive at the office and away you go.  One great option is to have an external monitor and all your favorite accessories hooked up to the base so that when you get to the office or home you slide the X41 into the UltraBase and then start working right away, and while on the road just use the X41 in its raw form factor.

外观：

X41非常的轻薄，厚度仅有1.06英寸。它在重量方面的表现相当优秀，由于电池配备的不同，重量也会有着明显的差异。配备8芯电池是时重量也仅有3.2镑，4芯电池的配备会让它的体重减至2.7镑。即使是一只手将起拿起，也不会有过重的感觉。在x41陪伴我的两个星期中，无论是把它背在身上还是提在手中，x41都给我一中不曾存在的感觉。有时我在地铁上会欣慰的发笑，当然旁人就不知其因了。
   对于轻便型笔记本来说，普遍存在的问题是没有内置的光驱，这也是笔记本厂商为了减轻机身重量和厚度设计方式。当使用光驱的时候，外置光驱就是我唯一的选择了。IBM x4系列的底座就是个非常不错的选择。底座不仅内置了光驱，还配备了常用的接口，无论是外出还是在家中使用都非常方便。

Processor and Performance

The X41 provides much better performance than your average ultraportable due to the fact it has a 1.50 GHz Pentium M that uses the latest Intel 915 chipset.  Not only is this processor running at a faster clockspeed than the typical 1.1 or 1.2 GHz ultraportable processor, but the updated chipset provides superior graphics performance (up to 76%) and better overall calculation performance (about 10%) relative to the older 855 chipset seen in last years Pentium M line and most (if not all other) of today's ultraportables on the market.

We've done a few benchmarks to give a feel for where the X41 stands relative to other laptops in terms of performance.

The program Super Pi is used to get a benchmark of raw processor speed.  The Super Pi program simply forces the processor to calculate Pi to a selected number of digits of accuracy.  Calculating to 2 million digits is our chosen benchmark:

Comparison of notebooks using Super Pi to calculate Pi to 2 million digits (plugged in):

Notebook Time to Calculate Pi to 2 Million Digits

IBM ThinkPad X41 (1.50 GHz Alviso Pentium M) 2m 02s
IBM ThinkPad T43 (1.86 GHz Alviso Pentium M) 1m 45s

Fujitsu LifeBook N3510 (1.73 GHz Alviso Pentium M) 1m 48s
IBM ThinkPad T41 (1.6GHz Banias Pentium M) 2m 23s
Compaq R3000T (Celeron 2.8GHz) 3m 3s
Dell Inspiron 600m (1.6 GHz Dothan Pentium M) 2m 10s
Dell Inspiron 8600 (1.7GHz Banias Pentium M) 2m 28s

So we can see from the numbers above that the processor is able to outpace much larger laptops from just last year.  Not bad.

Benchmarks for ThinkPad X41 (integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900, 1.50GHz Pentium M, 512MB RAM) compared to the ThinkPad T43 (ATI X300 64MB Graphics Card, 1.86GHz Pentium M, 512MB RAM)

Futuremark PCMark04 Scores
  IBM T43 (1.86GHz) IBM X41 (1.50 GHz)
Multithreaded Test 1 / File Compression 3.33 MB/s 2.66 MB/s

GT2 - Firefly Forest 2.2 FPS .5 FPS
GT3 - Canyon Flight 3.4 FPS .9 FPS
CPU Tests
CPU Test 1 1.18 FPS .9 FPS
CPU Test 2 2.9 FPS 1.3 FPS

So by looking above we see that the PCMark04 numbers show overall performance and processor speed are pretty good and can actually come close to our well performing ThinkPad T43 notebook in some cases.  But the graphics performance, as you would expect for an ultraportable, is much left to be desired.  Playing any game such as Half Life 2 on a 12.1" screen with no dedicated graphics card is just not recommended anyway, so these graphics performance numbers are just posted to emphasize this laptop is not meant for games!

Perceived performance for using Office applications, browsing the web and using such programs as Visual Studio for programming is very good.  I have 12 programs open right now as I type and they all work fine whenever I switch to the program to use its specific utilities.  No lag whatsoever.  The X41 most certainly is an ultraportable that will enable you to get work done.

The hard drive speed of 4200RPM is often pointed to as being too slow.  And the problem with the hard drive size on the X41 (1.8") is that there is no upgrading to a faster hard drive.  With extra RAM that will provide less need to hit the hard drive, you'll be able to overcome performance issues, and with the included processor you'll be humming a happy tune anyway.  To me the 4200RPM limitation hard drive isn't a big deal.

X41的整体性能在轻便电脑中是相当优秀的，重要原因要归公于它1.50 GHz Pentium M 的处理器和915的芯片组以及DDR2内存的搭配。
除了1.5处理器带来的高速运算性能外，其搭载的Intel 915GM芯片组也要比上一代迅驰笔记本普遍采用的Intel 855GM芯片组在图形处理性能方面有着较高大的提升（大约提高了76%），使得整体运算能力也有了相应的提升（大约10%）。

我们用Super PI对CPU 进行测试，在这次测试中，我们运行的是200万位的计算，分值越小性能越强。

并将它和其它运行在200万位的cpu进行比较。

ThinkPad X41测试数据 (integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900， 1.50GHz Pentium M， 512MB RAM) 和 ThinkPad T43数据比 (ATI X300 64MB Graphics Card， 1.86GHz Pentium M， 512MB RAM)。

所以我们从上面的pcmark04 测试得分可以看出x41的整体得分和运算速度都非常的出色。实际上在某些方面已相当接近T43的得分，当然集成了Intel GMA900显卡的X41在图形处理性能方面的表现就显得略为逊色。对于这款没有配备高性能独立显卡的x41来说我们不推荐玩一些像半条命2那样对显卡有较高要求的游戏，前面的测试数据也恰恰说明了这一点。
我们来看看X41和T4系列笔记本电脑在体型上的差异。

无论是在office办公软件的应用还是浏览网页、影象制作等方面，X41所表现出来的性能都是非常优秀的。甚至是同时运行12个程序的时，无论什么时候切换程序窗口都是一如既往的流畅，不会出现任何停滞的现象，对于在商务应用方面有着较高要求的用户来说，X41绝对是你出色完成工作的良好选择。

虽然2.5英寸的4200rpm低速硬盘已经不再主流，但由于x41采用了1.8英寸的笔记本硬盘，所以并没有配备高速硬盘。高端DDR2内存的配备降低了对硬盘性能的要求，所以在这一点上还是能感到些许的欣慰，当然4200rpm的硬盘对于笔者的日常应用并没有什么影响。

键盘使用感受：

IBM x41不仅采用了全尺寸键盘，并且在敲击时表现出来的良好舒适度还是值得让人拍手称赞的。
不仅如此，键盘中那些附属的功能键布局也非常合理，空间的充分利用让整张键盘看起来更加紧凑，特有的键帽支撑设让按键更加牢固。

IBM的招牌设计小红帽使用起来非常方便，不仅能够让光标在显示屏上移动自如，而且定位也非常精确。

通常其它笔记本设计触摸板的位置在x41被安置了一个指纹识别仪，指纹识别可以用作进入BIOS设置项及登录Windows时的身份验证，以及解除屏幕保护程序的密码等，极大地增强了x41的安全性。

屏幕：

X41采用了12.1英寸XGA(1024 x 768)的显示屏，屏幕的亮度适中，虽然它的可视角度和尺寸比较小，但非常适合移动办公人士。

当然对于x41来说我们还有很多要评论的在这里笔者只是想把自己的第一感想和一些图片和大家分享。
最后我们再看看X41到底小到什么程度。
