Reviews


I purchased the X220 from the Lenovo website in May 2011 when it first became available. There were some 20% - 30% deals back then but I think the price is always hovering around $1000 no matter what website you buy it from.

The model I got is very close to the model on this page - i7 processor, IPS display, bluetooth, 4GB DDR3 RAM and slightly smaller hard drive. I'm not sure if it's mentioned here, but I also upgraded the wifi card from the basic Lenovo one to one of the Intel cards.

My previous laptop was the 5 year old IBM x41, so maybe this review is a little biased for Lenovo Thinkpads. I enjoyed using the x41, but it was becoming too slow loading up web pages, the hard drive was too small (30GB) and it ran out of batteries too fast. I was actually looking to upgrade in 2009 but I didn't find a laptop meeting my requirements. I knew I wanted a dual-core processor and SSD drive. Eventually the list grew to USB 3.0 and DDR3. When Intel announced the next gen of dual-core processor (i3, etc.) and I saw what everyone was saying about it, I decided to wait for that to come out. My recent acquisition was the X220 Laptop. So far so good, no complaints whatsoever. I like its size, the speed and the fingerprint reader. While it took me a while to learn how to use windows 7 (previously I used XP) I am pretty much at home now with the laptop. The one drawback is that it doesn't have a CD/DVD reader, which is a minor annoyance but there are ways to get around that. Maybe in one year's time I will come back and give more view on this.
