Keep your everyday work moving

The 16GB memory configuration gives you useful room for everyday multitasking. Keep a document open while reviewing research, organise a spreadsheet alongside your email, or move between browser-based tools during the working day. A consistent memory specification across the range also makes choosing straightforward: every storage option includes the same 16GB RAM and processor.

For a student, that means a practical machine for written assignments, revision notes and online learning platforms. For a small business, it provides a familiar workspace for invoices, customer records, stock spreadsheets and daily administration. Your choice of applications and workload shapes performance; matching the laptop to these everyday tasks helps you get the most from your purchase.

Choose storage around your routine

Select the 128GB SSD if your working files are mainly documents and you regularly use cloud storage. Choose the 256GB SSD for more space to organise applications, coursework and personal folders together. The 512GB SSD provides the largest selectable capacity in this listing, giving you extra room for a growing local collection of files.

Think about what you want to keep on the laptop as well as what you access online. Presentations, downloaded learning materials and photographs all take space alongside Windows and your applications. Choosing suitable storage at checkout keeps the buying process simple. You can focus on the capacity that suits your routine while keeping the same processor, memory and display across all three choices.

A compact laptop for work in different places

The X390’s compact format is useful when your day includes a desk at home, a shared workspace or a study area. The traditional laptop layout keeps documents and typing central to the experience. At a regular desk, compatible external accessories can help you create a comfortable setup that suits the way you work.

USB connections let you attach everyday peripherals, while HDMI offers a convenient route to a compatible external display. A larger desk screen can give spreadsheets and reference documents more room. Before buying an accessory, check its connector and compatibility with your intended setup. Primo Technology can help you choose a suitable combination for your desk and your day-to-day work.

Who is the ThinkPad X390 for?
