Why do they charge around 500 USD for the 160GB SSD as an option? If I buy a 250 GB SSD that is even faster than the one they use, I pay less. Weird.. And why the large Delete key? What idiot came up with that nonsense? Way to go on having us accidentally hit the Delete when we need the Insert key!
@MrPKnutson Should run Skyrim just fine. The CPU won't be any problem, I tried Skyrim on last gen Core i7, it run smoothly. The game doesn't require dedicated graphics, need 512MB VRAM to run. Have fun! It's an awesome game!
@junkano Nope. We don't agree. Thinkpads are world famous for their design. Maybe you are one of those Apple fanboys who likes silver and white toys. Thinkpads are specifically designed for business use and hence the low profile looks.
X220 is combination of performance, reliability and its lightweighted. The only downside from my point of view is the touch pad, a nightmare to control. I guess Lenovo only wants to make consumer feel better about the red trackpoint.
i bought the x220 about a month ago. i got the "premium" (though it's far from premium) IPS panel with it. and well let me just tell you that by far the worst screen i have used in my life. it HAD HORRIBLE BURN IN EFFECTS i.e. transient image persistence. i would have a browser on the screen and be surfing the net for like 10 minutes, then minimize the window and you would still see the contents of the browser in the blank desktop background. terrible screen avoid it AT ALL COSTS!!! get the TN
@manpaisa92 We buy Macs for it's OS and mutimedia programs. BTW we're not stupid. We use it for our daily work. Just play your COD and MW kid and shut the fuck up :)
@VordzProductions What does a Mac does that a PC can't do ? NOTHING. What does a PC can do that a Mac can't MANY THING, one of which is being cheap and play video games :D
@VordzProductions I never said Macs can't run Windows lol. Even if they run Windows you won't be able to play anything bigger than an ant in that lol. The only thing I like about Macs is the outside. If I buy one I would buy Windows 7 and buy some RAM and a video camera
I don't know about you guys, but the only thing that impresses me with laptops and devices know general are their power management software and their battery life. A lot of these 6 cell batteries lose a significant amount of charge capacity under a year and most laptops are advertised for for 4-5 hours of battery life when they only last 3 hours at most including power saving modes.
not the best in terms of workmanship but sadly still the only subnotebook in market that offers good performance, screen quality & temperature control
I was a fan of the Thinkpad X series for 7 or 8 years, but after they killed the x300 series I ended up going with a T410s instead. Really, I'm not sure why it isn't part of the X series, it's maybe half a pound heavier than my old X60 despite having a much larger screen and keyboard. I wouldn't go back now.
on the bottom left, in the corner- there is Fn buttom (followed by ctrl)- same as with my t61.
is it possible to change it in bios, i.e. configure it so Fn buttom would work as ctrl /and vice versa/? because the current setup is, well, not really good /at least for me/.
@MobileTechReview TGDragon was being polite. The slice is definitely not 19 cell. How can a 19 cell battery weight 1.9 ounces?
If you look at lenovo's site, the slice is called "19+ slice (6 cell)" . The 19 is just a model indication.
Also, the 23 hour claim is with the 9 cell battery (29++) coupled with the 6 cell slice (19+, the only one available for this model). Comes in at a hefty 6 lbs (based on the specs).
Just bought an i7 solid state top of the range X220 for $3000. 8 days later it went back. Touchpad unresponsive and Windows 7 kept locking up. I need the complete package, Replaced with MacAir 13" at $2600. Much better. As light, thinner, faster and more stable. I won't be going back.
@NeverLostYou but I didn't. I am not an Apple fan. I chose the Lenovo for speed, size, capability and battery power. Money was not an object. It failed to perform and was replaced by a MacAir which has proven itself to be an outstanding piece of hardware and software. That is all.
Its not what the laptop looks like, it's what inside the laptop that counts. Apple products are just outdated, overpriced computers covered in a shiny wrapper to make them look good. But the masses of people would rather want the pretty little Imac and Macbooks because they think it will make them look "cool" to carry around an overpriced piece of shit.
I have a question which would you recommend to a student who is going into Engineering (Computer Eng). I need long battery but also a powerful computer. Either the X220 or the W520? Both of which have i7 processor and 8GB of ram. The W520 has 500GB hard drive 7200rpm while the X220 has 320GB at 7200rpm. I'll use it for the Engineering stuff as well as some light world of warcraft gaming.
I love Thinkpad.....I'm really want to buy a new one but problem is right now. X61 is still working.... Better throw away bcoz can't wait till it broken by itself....
@MrTheDocta I would say yes. I'm an IT student (still take some of the same programming classes), and I get by on a really cheap, really slow, Asus EEE.
@MTR, many thanks. Would enjoy seeing your take on the new Edge 220s. In addition to being concise and revealing, your reviews have a unique sincerity about them.
@MobileTechReview and @all. I'm looking into getting a T420 or a Toshiba Protege 835 that will come out in the next few weeks. What do you think? Which is the better bang for your buck? I want something really reliable that will last for a long time. I'm using a 5-year-old low-end lenovo and I'm ready to upgrade!
@rmendoza13 Why is that? Just to give the opposite perspective...the portege has a long battery life, a good amount of power, it's sleek and slim, it keeps cool, and it's gotten many great reviews. I'm leaning towards the thinkpad because of its great reputation for durability and quality, but I want to know why you say it wins hands down. Your help would really be appreciated :)
@krol0909 I am sorry, I should have explained better. I have owned ThinkPads and one Toshiba. In my experience, the newer Toshibas don't have the same quality they used to. Moreover, ThinkPads are true workhorses. I am typing this on my 3 1/2 year-old X61, which is still more powerful and faster than most consumer laptops being sold today. The ThinkPad keyboard is legendary, you can type all day long, and it won't fail. And there is one key factor: the unbeatable Lenovo warranty.
@rmendoza13 Thanks for the advice. Which warranty would you suggest? Why do you think it's so good? I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for a t420 or an old 410 now, but I'll probably wait a bit for the price to go down or the specs to improve. Right now they come with just 2gb of RAM and a comparatively small and slow hard drive.
@krol0909 The ThinkPads have a really good warranty. I have a T60 and an X61, and I had a T42 before. Whenever there has been the slightest issue, I have called Lenovo and they have answered within 3 minutes. They never give you the run around, they send you replacement parts right away, send a box, or a person, depending on your warranty. I usually go with the extended 3 year, but you have until the before the end of the first year to buy it.
@krol0909 One of the things with ThinkPads is that they know most of their customers are technologically savvy, so they don't make you run silly tests, nor hold you on the phone for hours, to see if you get tired. If anything, they will ask you to run Lenovo Toolbox, which is a diagnostics program. Like I said, if you find anything wrong, they will do their best to fix it or replace it. That said, they don't break down that often.
I was thinking of replacing my X61, and what's frustrating is that Lenovo sent the x220 out to be reviewed, but as of 04/04/2011 it's still not available for purchase.
@lolctusachina i want one for uni next year - my current asus is still the beast it was when i got it. Performing flawlessly except the hinge has broken and now its just a portable desktop.
can you comment on the headphone jack noise? i'm a heavy music listener and this could make or break the deal for me. oh and thanks for the informative review :)
@Kendalloo You'd be better off buying an external DAC that connects to the system via USB. My experience is that when listening to music on in-ear monitors, there is a lot of noise. I would recommend getting either the NuForce uDAC2 or the FiiO E7. Either of them will set you back over $100.00 US but are well worth it for the money. I'd also recommend that you check out the computer audio forums at head-fi.org for more opinions.
Please note how she moves the mouse pointer! I will never understand how one can prefer a touchpad if there is trackpoint. I admire the patience of touchpad fans.
The X220 seems to be a pretty good machine, but I am still glad I upgraded the warranty of my X201 last your with a 5 year package. The 16:9 display has nothing to do in a true business machine. We arent watching movies, we are working with Office. srsly
@KlausAltmannBarbie Blame the display manufacturers. 16:9 is cheaper to make so computer companies are forced to use it. I'm hanging onto my x201 with a vice grip!
Is the keyboard the same size as those on (older) models with larger screens, like a T60P? I'm thinking of getting this instead of the upcoming T420s if its keyboard is truly full size.
I still don't understand,why does it make a difference if a laptop weighs 2 lbs or 10??.... Most people these days don't have a problem picking up a triple cheeseburger and a 40oz Dr.peppier.
Because HDMI is proprietary and lenovo has to spend 5 USD (or more) for every laptop they equip with a HDMI Port. The Displayport offers the same functions and its free.
People always complain about the aesthetics of the Thinkpads but I rather like the look. It immediately says "business" and doesn't look bad doing it. They haven't changed much over the years the line has existed because they haven't had to. Love your reviews by th way.
@Nogard119 I completely agree. It's quite loathsome that people still rag Thinkpads for their looks, but to me(even though it's subjective) they're beautiful. Hopefully Lenovo doesn't change the classic Thinkpad look.
Nice review. However, since this is an pro laptop so would it be interesting how it performs in bright light condition, colours of the screen and the viewing angles. And comparison perhaps to other pro laptops like HP Elitebook. ;)
Sorry, great review, I meant to say, how great your hand always look,some reviewer hand look terrible and dirty,if you going do close up in hd,clean your nails first!,
Can I just say that, not only are your reviews always well thought out and nicely produced, that you have a very calm way of speaking. Some other reviewers always seem overly excited (while that certainly has it's place) I always find it easier to make a choice after watching one of your videos. Keep up the great work :)

@lolctusachina i want one for uni next year - my current asus is still the beast it was when i got it. Performing flawlessly except the hinge has broken and now its just a portable desktop.

oh wow, it looks convincing.
I have been looking at something to replace my aging x300. I am very satisfied with Thinkpad and glad that I dump the useless MBP.

can you comment on the headphone jack noise? i'm a heavy music listener and this could make or break the deal for me. oh and thanks for the informative review :)
Kendalloo 11 months ago
@Kendalloo You'd be better off buying an external DAC that connects to the system via USB. My experience is that when listening to music on in-ear monitors, there is a lot of noise. I would recommend getting either the NuForce uDAC2 or the FiiO E7. Either of them will set you back over $100.00 US but are well worth it for the money. I'd also recommend that you check out the computer audio forums at head-fi.org for more opinions.

If you're a heavy music listener you need a centrance dacport.

Great review. Liked the real time Photoshop testing.
I think for its price, lenovo is the BEST option for business
I have an X301 about 12 months old. Its in one word: GREAT.
One year out its still super quiet and fast, and I use it all the time.
The battery life is the only thing i would say needs to be improved, and it looks like they did that in the X220.

Very nice review. Are you going to to do a the X220 tablet review?? I am really considering to buy it and I can't find info nowhere :(

Please note how she moves the mouse pointer! I will never understand how one can prefer a touchpad if there is trackpoint. I admire the patience of touchpad fans.

I really wish the trackpad was an option. Really don't need it :)
Not sure I'm sold on the new style keyboard either.

you should provide more details about SSDs? Are they "slow" old or the fast new gen.

When will this be released?
Also Lisa, do you have any information on the release date of the newer Thinkpads with the 2nd gen sandy bridge like the T and L-series?
I hope to see reviews of those laptops soon from you!

what I care most is it's fan noise
will fan noise still be acceptable even if it is running many large applications?

The X220 seems to be a pretty good machine, but I am still glad I upgraded the warranty of my X201 last your with a 5 year package. The 16:9 display has nothing to do in a true business machine. We arent watching movies, we are working with Office. srsly
KlausAltmannBarbie 11 months ago
@KlausAltmannBarbie Blame the display manufacturers. 16:9 is cheaper to make so computer companies are forced to use it. I'm hanging onto my x201 with a vice grip!

Is the keyboard the same size as those on (older) models with larger screens, like a T60P? I'm thinking of getting this instead of the upcoming T420s if its keyboard is truly full size.
thejeremycg 11 months ago
@thejeremycg
The keyboard is the same size as the old T60. In deed, the X200/X201 series had a full size keyboard also.

I still don't understand,why does it make a difference if a laptop weighs 2 lbs or 10??.... Most people these days don't have a problem picking up a triple cheeseburger and a 40oz Dr.peppier.

No HDMI port? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
wutefuk 11 months ago
@wutefuk Just get a Display Port to HDMI adapter, theyre basically the same tech and they only cost about 5 dlls.
stjernefodt 11 months ago
@wutefuk
Because HDMI is proprietary and lenovo has to spend 5 USD (or more) for every laptop they equip with a HDMI Port. The Displayport offers the same functions and its free.

This is a dream machine. I hope you keep it.
Is the 9-cell battery working with the travel batter, too?
And agreee with others...you reviews are simply easy, calm and that's why they are perfect.

People always complain about the aesthetics of the Thinkpads but I rather like the look. It immediately says "business" and doesn't look bad doing it. They haven't changed much over the years the line has existed because they haven't had to. Love your reviews by th way.
Nogard119 11 months ago
@Nogard119 I completely agree. It's quite loathsome that people still rag Thinkpads for their looks, but to me(even though it's subjective) they're beautiful. Hopefully Lenovo doesn't change the classic Thinkpad look.
Great review by the way.

Can I just say that, not only are your reviews always well thought out and nicely produced, that you have a very calm way of speaking. Some other reviewers always seem overly excited (while that certainly has it's place) I always find it easier to make a choice after watching one of your videos. Keep up the great work :)
