Sporting the signature black and squarish look, both models offer improvements in terms of design and performance.
Like its name suggests, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon comes with carbon fibre roll cage for durability and is lightweight too. The 18.85mm thin and 1.36kg ultrabook’s battery needs only 35 minutes on the charger to deliver 80 per cent battery level.
Its 14-inch HD+ Anti Glare display and Dolby Home Theatre v4 audio capability ensure multimedia playback is optimised.
Also packed with USB 3.0 and HDMI interfaces, customers can opt for Intel Core i5 processor and 128GB SSD storage X1 Carbon package, which starts at RM5,399. Higher specification come with Intel Core i7 processor and 256GB SSD storage, with prices starting at RM6,599.
ThinkPad T430u is made to entice both multimedia lovers and business users by combining NVIDIA GeForce graphics, 1TB storage, seven-hour battery life as well as the Lenovo Solution Centre for Small Business. It has a starting price of RM3,799.

 To make it a truly productivity tool, Samsung has bundled software like Polaris Office, Photoshop Touch, S Note and S Planner.

Another fast Internet option
TIME dotCom Bhd launched its Fibre 100Mbps Home Broadband last week. The fibre service is available at RM179 a month and is being offered to over 100,000 homes in the Klang Valley and Penang.
CEO Afzal Abdul Rahim expected early adopters to take up the service while more Internet users will come on board after TIME completes its educational tours to promote the product.
“The 100,000 homes which the network can reach are in the mid- to high-income segment. Most of them are multi-dwelling units and apartments. Customers can check on the availability of the fibre-optics network in their areas at www.time.com.my,” he said.
The introductory package of RM179 per month will be offered for the next three months, after which the company will introduce more packages at different price points and quota levels. The current offer has a quota of 100GB. TIME plans to conduct educational tours over the next six to nine months.
