Clad nyob rau hauv cov paub matte dub magnesium thiab txhuas ntawm lwm yam ThinkPads nrog ib tug carbon fiber hybrid hau, lub Nano Gen 2 yog ib tug trim 0.57 los ntawm 11.5 los ntawm 8.2 ntiv tes, txawm ntau compact dua lub 2.7-phaus MacBook Cua (0.44 los 12 los ntawm 8.5 nti. ). Lub kaw lus tau dhau MIL-STD 810H kev tsim txom kev sim rau txoj kev phom sij xws li kev vibration, poob siab, thiab kub siab heev; yuav luag tsis muaj flex yog tias koj tuav cov ces kaum ntawm lub vijtsam lossis nias lub lawj keyboard. 

Lub vijtsam bezels tsis yog ultra-nyias, tab sis sab saum toj bezel ua rau chav rau lub ntsej muag paub lub webcam nrog zawv zawg tsis pub leej twg paub. Ib tus nyeem ntiv tes nyob ib sab ntawm lub touchpad muab txoj hauv kev thib ob rau koj hla kev ntaus passwords nrog Windows Hello. Raws li nrog ThinkPads loj dua, lub touchpad tau koom nrog Lenovo's TrackPoint mini joystick kos rau hauv cov keyboard, nrog peb lub nyees khawm hauv qab qhov chaw bar.

Kev sim ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 2: Tsib Hauv Peb Phaus 

Rau peb cov qauv ntsuas ntsuas, peb muab piv rau ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 2 rau nws cov neeg sib tw saum toj no: Dell XPS 13 Plus, M2 version ntawm Apple MacBook Cua, thiab HP Elite Dragonfly G3. Qhov ntawd tshuav ib qho chaw uas peb tau sau nrog cov peev nyiaj-nqi ultraportable, 2.48-phaus Microsoft Surface Laptop Go 2. Koj tuaj yeem pom lawv cov specs yooj yim hauv cov lus hauv qab no.

Productivity Tests 

Lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ntawm UL's PCMark 10 simulates ntau yam kev tsim khoom hauv ntiaj teb tiag tiag thiab cov ntsiab lus tsim ua haujlwm los ntsuas kev ua haujlwm tag nrho rau cov haujlwm hauv chaw ua haujlwm xws li kev ua cov lus, kev nthuav dav, kev tshawb nrhiav hauv web, thiab videoconferencing. Peb kuj tseem khiav PCMark 10's Full System Drive test los ntsuas lub sijhawm thauj khoom thiab kev xa tawm ntawm lub laptop cia. 

Ua raws li cov no, peb qhov kev ntsuas ntxiv tsom rau CPU, siv tag nrho cov cores thiab xov, kom ntsuas lub PC qhov tsim nyog rau cov khoom siv ua haujlwm hnyav. Maxon's Cinebench R23 siv lub tuam txhab Cinema 4D lub cav los ua ib qho chaw nyuaj, thaum Primate Labs 'Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates nrov. apps xws li los ntawm PDF rendering thiab kev paub hais lus rau kev kawm tshuab. Thaum kawg, peb siv qhov qhib-qhov video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 los hloov 12-feeb video clip los ntawm 4K rau 1080p daws teeb meem (qis dua lub sijhawm zoo dua). 

Peb qhov kev sim ua tiav zaum kawg yog Puget Systems 'PugetBench rau Photoshop, uas siv Creative Cloud version 22 ntawm Adobe's nto moo duab editor los ntsuas lub PC qhov kev ua tau zoo rau cov ntsiab lus tsim thiab kev siv multimedia. Nws yog qhov kev txuas ntxiv uas siv tau uas ua tiav ntau yam dav dav thiab GPU-nrawm Photoshop cov haujlwm xws li qhib, tig, hloov pauv, thiab txuag cov duab rau kev siv lub qhov ncauj qhov ntswg, gradient fills, thiab lim.

X1 Nano Gen 2 tau yooj yim tshem tawm 4,000 cov ntsiab lus hauv PCMark 10 uas qhia tau tias muaj txiaj ntsig zoo rau Microsoft Office lossis Google Workspace, thiab nws ua tau zoo hauv Photoshop. Tab sis nws cov qhab nia CPU tau qis dua li peb xav tau xav txog nws 28-watt Intel P-series ntau dua li 15-watt U-series processor. Qhov pheej yig dua, Core i5-based Surface Laptop kwv yees tau coj mus rau tom qab. 

Graphics Tests 

Peb sim Windows PCs 'graphic nrog ob DirectX 12 gaming simulations los ntawm UL's 3DMark, Hmo Raid (ntau tus qauv, haum rau lub laptops nrog cov duab sib xyaw) thiab Lub Sijhawm Spy (ntau xav tau, haum rau gaming rigs nrog discrete GPUs). 

Peb kuj tseem khiav ob qhov kev xeem los ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig-platform GPU benchmark GFXBench 5, uas nyuaj rau ob qho tib si theem qis xws li texturing thiab qib siab, game-zoo li cov duab rendering. 1440p Aztec Ruins thiab 1080p Kev Sib Tw Tsheb Sib Tw, ua rau offscreen kom haum rau cov kev daws teeb meem sib txawv, cov duab kos duab thiab suav cov duab ntxoov ntxoo siv OpenGL programming interface thiab hardware tessellation feem. Qhov ntau thav duab ib ob (fps), qhov zoo dua.

Peb tau sim cov qhab nia ntawm lub laptops nrog Intel's Iris Xe integrated graphics thiab yeej tsis pom ib qho haum rau gaming lossis graphically xav tau. apps. Cov pab pawg no txuas ntxiv cov streak-lawv zoo rau kev ua si xws li kev ua si lossis streaming video, tab sis tsis yog rau thawj tus neeg tua neeg lossis chaw ua haujlwm-chav kawm CGI. 

Roj teeb thiab Zaub Tests 

Peb sim lub laptops lub roj teeb lub neej los ntawm kev ua si hauv zos khaws cia 720p video file (qhov qhib-qhov Blender movie Kua muag ntawm hlau(Qhib lub qhov rais tshiab)) nrog zaub brightness ntawm 50% thiab lub ntim ntawm 100%. Peb xyuas kom meej tias lub roj teeb tau them tag nrho ua ntej kev sim, nrog Wi-Fi thiab keyboard backlighting tua. 

Peb kuj tseem siv Datacolor SpyderX Cov Neeg Tseem Ceeb saib ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas thiab nws lub Windows software los ntsuas lub khoos phis tawj lub vijtsam xim xim - pes tsawg feem pua ​​​​ntawm sRGB, Adobe RGB, thiab DCI-P3 xim gamuts lossis palettes cov zaub tuaj yeem pom - thiab nws 50% thiab ncov. brightness nyob rau hauv nits (candelas ib square meter).

Lub MacBook Cua thiab OLED-screened XPS 13 Plus muaj qhov zoo nkauj tshaj plaws, muaj yeeb yuj qhia ntawm no, txawm hais tias Lenovo's zoo thiab ci ntsa iab. Lub Nano tswj kom outlast lub Dell nyob rau hauv peb lub roj teeb rundown, tab sis nws lub zog yog deb deb ntawm cov kua thiab HP ultraportables '.

Kev Txiav Txim: Ib qho Lightest thiab Nicest 

Yog tias koj tuaj yeem nyob yam tsis muaj khoom kim heev zoo li lub vijtsam OLED, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 2 yog tus nqi ncaj ncees, muaj peev xwm ua tau zoo heev. Nws tsis nco txog Editors 'Choice honors vim nws qhov tsis txaus ntseeg ntawm cov chaw nres nkoj thiab tsim nyog tab sis tsis yog lub roj teeb tseem ceeb, tab sis yeej cov ntsiab lus rau nws cov keyboard zoo thiab cov tshuaj ntsuam, thiab muaj LTE. Raws li qhov hnyav 2.13 es tsis txhob xyoo tas los 1.99 phaus, zoo, peb tau me ntsis dhau peb lub hom phiaj hnyav peb tus kheej.
