The design of the X201 is almost similar to the rest of the Lenovo’s ThinkPad-series laptops. The X201 looks pretty attractive and it appears to be nicely designed. Its body has black metallic finish that offers sturdy grip in the hands. The changes in the ThinkPad over the year are quite subtle.
The X201 features traditional, decent tapered-key keyboard. Nowadays, several laptop makers are switching to flat-topped island-style keyboards. However, the keys on the X201 are large and convenient to type upon. The important keys like Shift, Alt and Tab are good size. The palm rest area has been squeezed to make room for larger keyboard.
The touchpad is relatively small compared to other laptops. Touchpad has good responsiveness and there by it is convenient to use. However, we had some problem to pinch-to-zoom on this laptop. The mouse buttons are present at the bottom. Lenovo also includes larger than usual trackball with dedicated buttons for it. It is unnecessary as it has decent touchpad and it also tampers some of the keys in the keypad.
