Designed to fit your mobile lifestyle

How we pack so much power and performance into something so portable is a secret for our engineers. All you need to know is that the sleek, slim, ultra-thin notebook X520 lets you carry less and do more. It’s just 24mm in depth, which is about the same height as a U.S. quarter or Euro coin, so it easily slips into most any bag, case or carry-on. And weighing in at just 2.09kg, you might even actually forget you’re carrying it.

Welcome to the perfect view

You’ve never seen such a sight. The X520’s HD 15.6” LED shows you everything you’re supposed to be seeing - sharper images, brighter colours and a bigger picture. And its proper 16:9 aspect ratio eliminates those annoying black bands around the screen’s perimeter while providing absolutely accurate, crystal clear HD movies and games.

World class mobile performance

The Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor is the next generation dual-core mobile processor for power-optimised mobile processing, which provides freedom and flexibility to live and play on the go. It has new power-saving features designed to extend the life of your battery and delivers enhanced performance and responsiveness to handle today's most demanding software applications.

Style and strength

Sure, the trend-setting X520 slips easily into your bag, but why would you want to hide this beauty? Especially since it doesn’t need any extra protection. Inspired by the simple symmetry of a shell, the X520’s durable minimalist exterior is designed to shield its inner-workings from the bumps and knocks of life on the road as well as give it a sleek and seamless look. The pearl black, pearl white or titanium silver finish, accentuated by lifted, silver-chrome sides, complements its no-nonsense, ergonomic casing.

Introducing extreme connectivity

The X520 is as adaptable as it is portable. Boasting three USB 2.0 ports and a 3-in-1 memory card reader, you can easily connect to almost any modern electronics device to share files. You can share your favourite photos and movies as well as any other data so you can enjoy it however - and with whomever - you like. There’s even an HDMI port that lets you effortlessly connect to a TV.
