In China, computer maker Lenovo have announced that they will be adding to the recently launched ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop with a new carbon fibre model, it will be called the ThinkPad X230s and it is going to be competing in the busy ultraportable laptop sector of the market. From what we tell, this new laptop is based a little bit on the ThinkPad X230 which is powered by the 2.60 GHz Intel Core i5-3230M dual-core processor, as of yet no processor or graphics card set up have been announced for this interesting thin and light laptop.

The known specs and features of the ThinkPad X230s are as follows, it comes with a 12.5 inch screen in HD with a LED back-lit display offering a 1366 × 768 of pixel resolutions. Its is going to be running on the Windows 8 operating system, comes with up to 8 GB of RAM and a choice of either up to 240 GB solid state drive (SSD) or the massive 1 TB hard disk drive (HDD). As for communications, this is going to be covered with a full selection of 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth wireless communication support.

Other features will include the DisplayPort, VGA, two fast USB 3.0 ports, fingerprint reader, built in 720p HD web camera integrated with microphone, Back-lit keyboard, trackpad with gesture support for Windows 8 and of course, the TrackPoint feature. This laptop is very thin at just 17.7 mm (0.7 in.) and weighs in at very light 1.28 kg (2.8 lbs.) with the battery pack in place that Lenovo say will offer up to 24 hours of total system battery life, but only with the help of the optional battery extender base.

According to the Lenovo Chinese website, we can expect the new ThinkPad X230s to start from around $1,200, currently the non carbon fibre ThinkPad X230 can be picked up for around $820! So, there is a considerable difference in price between the two machines.
