Lenovo has unveiled the successor to its Ultra-portable, budget minded, X100e “notebook” from last year.  While overall details are scarce, the X120e appears to features the same 11.6″ 1366 x 768 matte screen. However it abandons AMD’s older, inferior, “Neo” family of CPU’s for the much more powerful, yet energy efficient Zacate APU. It still retains the X100e’s chassis and the trademark Lenovo keyboard-red tipped mouse pointer combo. When it goes on sale in February, it will come with a choice of Zacate E-240 and E-350 APU’s .It will feature AMD’s integrated Radeon HD 6310 graphics chipset. Battery life is slated at around 6.5 hours, which is an amazing 3 hours more than last years X100e!  Lenovo indicates a starting price of $399 USD.

    well, the topend Zacate compared to the dualcore Nile K325, CPU wise is about equal, GPU is much more powerful, 18w vs 19.5w

    Zacate is not a HUGE improvements but it is definitely better, Nile is was already a solid competitor to the CULV. the real difference here is that AMD as an Atom competitor with the Ontario.

    the 3.5hr Nile was real world, these 6.5hr are manufacture claims. my guess is more like 4.5 – 5hr.

    I”m sure there will be plenty of reviews in regards to the battery life and performance come February, but for now this is going by what the press release says. In any event, Zacate is superior in its being the next-generation CULV after Nile, as far as AMD Processors go. Dont forget Zacate is part of AMD’s APU class.

    Lenovo’s press release talks about “30% longer battery life” – so that would also indicate about 4,5 hrs max. in real life. Better than before, but still rather poor…

    Of course we have to wait for some test results before we can know for sure, and then there’s always the possibility that Lenovo will offer a higher capacity battery (the x100e had 63Wh max.).
