This is now the longest lasting and fastest ultraportable we've ever tested. It packs some of the fastest speeds and one of the nicest panels we've ever used, there's no denying that the X220 is worth its $889 starting price, or the $1,299 our review unit costs. (By the way, that...

The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is an amazing piece of engineering when you factor in all the features it squeezed into a 12-inch frame, including best-in-class battery life and the new Intel Core i5 i5-2520M CPU.
Read the full review →Lenovo's ThinkPad X200 series has a long history of combining light-weight portability, epic battery life, and uncompromising performance. The 12.5-inch, $1,299 ThinkPad X220 offers a couple of new riffs on this familiar theme, including a 16:9 screen, an Intel 2nd Generation Core processor,...
Read the full review →The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 packs in a new Intel Core i5 CPU and can run all day (depending on how you use it). With a 12.5-inch display, it's just a bit smaller than a 13-inch laptop, and it feels like an excellent compromise for frequent travelers.

Read the full review →Is Lenovo's ThinkPad X220T the perfect tablet laptop? Not really, but it's as close as it gets. Sure, it's not cheap, its industrial aesthetic won't appeal to everyone, it lacks USB 3.0 and eSATA, and we would have liked a few more vertical pixels on the screen. However, with the...

Having grown accustomed to the big 15.6", 17" desktop replacements, I was worried this would be too small, but the lightness, the portability, and the great screen/form factor along with great battery life (thanks Sandy Bridge) makes this just right. Super portable, a bit pricier than other...

After 5 months of operation, it started shutting off sporadically on it's own. I took it in to the Lenovo Service people, and they said that it was a motherboard issue. The service manager told me it was a known issue with the Lenovo X220, and he said the motherboard's were on back order for two...

I've had my X220 for two weeks now and I love it. In my mind the ultraportable market starts and stops here. I suppose my use case is very particular. I do a lot of field work with networking equipment so it's important to me to have a laptop that can connect to a USB to 9pin serial adapter...

I decided to move back to a PC from a 15" Mac Powerbook. I have an ancient IBM Thinkpad which is still running fine on Ubuntu, so I was favorably disposed toward Lenovo. I was looking for a powerful, light laptop with a long battery life since I will be doing more international tranvelling....

My very first laptop was an IBM thinkpad back in 1999 and I have been through numerous Toshiba's, Hyperdata, Fujitsu and Apple laptops every since that time. Moving back to an industry standard ThinkPad it is nice to see that Lenovo has kept its best keyboard there is and still has the little...

Possibly the best ultraportable Windows/Linux laptop out there that also offers great battery life marred only by a slightly undersized and somewhat annoying trackpad.

This is really the Gold standard in ultraportable laptops for the enterprise. From the high build quality, to the impressive performance from full powered processor to up to 8GB RAM. (Lenovo says that the RAM limit is 8GB. I've seen 16GB work everytime just fine, probably not really tested.)...

I am really happy with X220. It's light, long battery and quite. If you have used earlier thinkpad model, you will love its design. However, the touch-pad is hard to use.

Fantastic computer! Staid and somewhat boring design, but who can complain with 7 hour battery life; intel core i3 or i5?!?!?!
