You frequently have to choose between portability and functionality when purchasing a lightweight laptop, forgoing conveniences in order to conserve space. Lenovo's 12.5-inch ThinkPad X250 is designed for business use, but it's easy enough for anyone to use. It has a full HD display, a fast keyboard, an amazing battery life, and a full suite of ports in a portable, sturdy chassis. With its raven-black lid, deck, sides, and bottom, the ThinkPad X240 features Lenovo's classic yet understated ThinkPad design. A pop of color is added by the silver ThinkPad logos on the deck and lid and the red TrackPoint pointing stick. Lenovo's 12-inch ultraportable, measuring 12.03 x 8.21 x 0.8 inches, isn't the thinnest laptop available, but its thickness enables it to have all the ports you require and a long battery life.
