Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Review

To test today, we are putting the machine through a variety of ‘real world’ situations, mirroring the real world usage of a potential customer.

One as a media movie lover on the move (wearing headphones), a person wanting to watch high definition media on a train journey or bus with two thirds screen brightness.

Second as a businessman, with screen brightness around half way. Wireless and BlueTooth were enabled. A mixture of checking, answering emails using Microsoft Office and editing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.

Lastly as a gamer, playing Left4Dead at settings highlighted earlier in the review.

The battery life is extremely impressive, offering a businessman a realistic ‘full day' charge before a power socket would need to be located. The optional battery slice could be added underneath the machine to extend this even further. If you don't mind adding some ‘thickness' to the overall chassis that is.
