Impressive Portable May 15, 2011 By Jazzspielen
This is a review of the Lenovo x220 Core i7 with 128 Gb SSD (rather than 320 Gb hard drive) and bought directly from Lenovo. Came with 2 Gb RAM but I put in 8 Gb of Crucial RAM for $94. This little machine in this configuration is pricey but literally screams. Boots in 20 seconds; shuts down in 7 seconds; switches programs with iPAD2-like speed. Great keyboard for touch-typing, but Thinkpads always have the best keyboards IMO. The screen is extraordinarily bright. Weighs about 3 lbs. I've gotten b/w 6-7 hours on the battery with typical office use. Three USB ports (one hot) and HDMI/VGA. I use the x220 with Dragon Naturally Speaking, and it handles the software very well -- the best of any laptop I've used with Dragon. My accuracy has improved, and digitized text pops on the screen quicker than any other machine I've used. This is my seventh Thinkpad, and I've had very good luck with all of them. I think Lenovo has a winner with the x220, especially with SSD. I doubt I'll ever buy another machine without SSD -- so quiet and so fast. You might want to check out Lenovo's recently released e220s -- same size as the x220 but runs about $500 cheaper than the x220, depending on your configuration. It's really hard to find anything not to like about the x220.

Terrific Notebook except: Touchpad is unusable Jul 16, 2011 By gcb
I am a longtime Lenovo notebook fan -- I own an x100, 120E, T61, x200, and x201, and now an x220. The main reason I have stuck with the brand is the quality keyboards and Matte displays.

In terms of battery life and processor speed, this notebook is outstanding. However -- the touchpad was completely redesigned for the x220 and Lenovo blew it here. If you are typing a document, you'll find that the cursor flies all over the screen as you type -- even if you have the 'turn touchpad off while typing' option checked! It's highly annoying. The problem is that your hands are always resting on the touchpad if your fingers are on the keyboard. In previous designs, this was not the case.

The only workable solution for me is to completely disable the touchpad, which is stepping back to an earlier era. My x200 doesn't have a touchpad either, so I don't absolutely need to have one, but they're nice to have.

I agree with another reviewer here who identified this as a serious problem that reduces the usefulness of the notebook. My Dad also has he same issue -- he just bought an x220 and needed to turn his completely off as well. People who do very little typing, who just view web-pages or watch movies, etc will probably not be affected. Those needing to do serious work will be.

Lenovo, you're doing a great job overall, but I hope you're listening! This is a serious problem that you'll need to fix in the next design cycle.

Happiest I've been with a Mac or Win laptop in years... maybe ever! Nov 09, 2011 By David Billstrom
Too many good things to list... bright screen, fantastic keyboard even though small with my big fingers, lightweight, huge battery life...

Turn off wifi with the exterior switch and I get 5+ hours on this on cross-country flights, working away with the screen on full bright.

I somehow missed that it would come with the docking station and optical drive, which is just what I wanted but had decided to delay purchasing... that puts it at just the right angle on my desk... and the only place I need cdrom / dvdrom.

The ergo is great, and I have to admit that Win7 has it right, perhaps even over my life-long Mac admiration. What a great, fantastic product. Kudos Lenovo!

Disappointed with my purchase of Lenovo Thinkpad X220 May 10, 2012 By ewn
After my previous good experience using a Lenovo X201 in the office, I decided to buy a personal computer for my use at home in late March, and chose this one (Lenovo Thinkpad X220 12.5" 320GB. I was impressed by the speed at which it was delivered after only a few days after my order. However, I found a few things that I did not like. The volume of the microphone is very low such that when on Skype, I have to use a headset for me to be heard or hear the person that I am calling. I had decided to ignore this defect since I don't use the laptop to teleconference. If other people join me for a Skype conference call, we would definitely not be heard because of the low volume even after adjusting it to the maximum level. I thought this was the only defect but Last Sunday, I decided to download my pictures that are in a ScanDisk card. The computer has a picture card slot where I can plug in my ScanDisk to download my pictures. Unfortunately, when I tried to use it the card would not stick. To get pictures from my scandisk I had to hold onto to it. This is frustrating after paying over $1,200 for this computer! I am very disappointed by this purchase and wish I stuck to either HP or Dell computers that I bought in the past at much lower costs. On a positive note Lenovo gives a good long warranty period and so I will try to return it and see if this can be fixed. Btw, should I return to the seller or send it to Lenovo?

Ultranav Touch Pad. ARRRRRR! Jun 22, 2011 By BrianD
I purchased the X220 to replace an aging Dell M1210. I was drawn to the X220 because of it's Premium HD IPS display option and it's battery life. Well I got those features and they are great. The battery life with the optional 9 Cell is incredible, exceeding 10 hours. What I did not expect was the infuriating Touch Pad. Why did they not sort this out before going live. I'm having to learn all over again after growing to really like the Pad on my Dell. The Lenovo pointer jumps and bounces around like it's possessed. At the moment it's almost unusable. The left button press often yields no action or gives the pop down menu that you would expect from the right button.

My final gripe is that I'm not sure I dig the wide screen format. For business use I'm not convinced it is the best option. I may regret this purchase over the long haul, thinking that I should have instead purchased an HP or Dell.

Update: Ok it's been about three months of torment now with the Touchpad and my opinion still stands. For those of you who are conflicted about the usefulness or merits of a Touchpad let me elaborate. The X220 has both a Track Pointer and Touchpad. The Touchpad is a new design that combines the Left and Right mouse buttons into the Touchpad as integral single unit. The difficulty is that the Touchpad often seems confused as to whether you are pushing a button or simply trying to move the cursor about the screen. For those of us used to two handing the Touchpad it will be especially frustrating. As you attempt to scroll with your right hand fingers and control the buttons with your left, the cursor will wander in confusion. It's always amusing to watch a colleague take control of my computer during a presentation only to recoil from the behavior of the Touchpad. The response is usually something to the effect of "Wow what's up with that?"

Also the durability of the trim around the LCD is poor. The top left corner of my panel trim has already failed. I have not imposed any undue abuse that would justify this. This is my first Lenovo and maybe my last.

Update two: I've installed an OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD and an addtional 4GB of Memory(now 8GB). The OCZ SSD was troublesome initially but has improved with Firmware updates and a switch away from the Intel Drivers to the native Microsoft Drivers. The SSD has really transformed the Laptop, incredible, I'm now contemplating one for my Desktop since it is now a dog by comparison. Photoshop for example opens almost instantaneously. Finally in addition to the top left corner of the LCD bezel failing, so has the front left corner of the keyboard/palm bezel. Also for all of those Lenovo Keyboard fans out there, you should really try a decent Dell, then maybe you will know what a good keyboard feels like.
