The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 suffers from poor touchpad design
And the positioning of “Fn” and “Ctrl” key still is a problem
Review
If there’s one thing that we’ve learnt after reviewing so many ultralight laptops
It’s that the ultralight laptops certainly aren’t the machines that will please everyone. But the Lenovo ThinkPad X220 comes to us as a shocker
And we are more than happy to see
Washed-out
Flaky webcam
Short palm rest
Poor palm rejection
Bottom Got Quite Warm During Heavy Use
No Bluetooth
New touchpad design is a one-finger-at-a-time navigating tool. Unexciting color.
Comes overloaded with background apps
Buttonless touchpad may bother some users
No docking station pass through on the optional slice battery
No dedicated graphics option
The touch-pad-pointing-stick combo remains an awkward compromise
And as with most ThinkPads you're paying a hefty premium for the sturdy case and business-friendly software
Clickpad can be a bit wonky Design may feel outdated to some Can get pricey with configuration options

The touch-pad-pointing-stick combo remains an awkward compromise, and as with most ThinkPads you're paying a hefty premium for the sturdy case and business-friendly software
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.
The ThinkPad X220 we tested came with the optional IPS display upgrade. This is the first time I have worked with such a display aside from the one on my iPad and I must say, it's leaps and bounds better than any other notebook screen I have used in t...

Halfbaked touchpad design. Please, Lenovo, please swap the Fn and Ctrl keys once and for all

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. Buy it nowBuy direct from Lenovo and check f...
Buttonless touchpad may bother some users, No docking station pass through on the optional slice battery,
The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is arguably the best 12-inch business notebook currently on the market ... and we won't argue. Any business laptop that can deliver top-of-the-line perfromance and more than eight and a half hours of battery life with a standard 6-cell battery is amazing. The fact that the X220 can keep running for more than 18 and a half hours with the optional battery slice is nothing s

We've always liked the ThinkPad X201, it was one of our favorite ultraportables despite a few complaints, including a high price tag. With Lenovo's new ThinkPad X220 it's hard to find anything not to love. The price is more accessible, the quality is ...
This powerful, lightweight ultraportable is for true road warriors. The top-notch speed and features demand a premium, but it’s still today's best value for a serious business productivity machine. ...
