Lenovo ThinkPad X220


The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 Tablet is a PC designed for comfortable use both indoors and outdoors. This is an expansion of the Lenovo ThinkPad X210, with a larger 12.5 inch screen that uses multi-touch sensor technology to enable touch-screen interface without needing a selector pen.
A wider variety of Intel Core processors is now available as well, up to the Intel Core i7-2620M, and the system can take up to 8 Gigabytes of RAM. The display is bright enough to be viewed outdoors, and can be worked with by finger-touch or using a selector pen with the Gorilla glass option. WiFi is built in for easy connection to wireless networks, and wired connections to external devices includes Display Port output and 3 separate USB 2.0 ports. A high-definition 720p webcam is also built in. The battery can last up to 16 hours between recharges, and the entire unit weighs 3.88 pounds including the 4 cell battery. The battery life is the most impressive and if you want a device that stays on 24X7 then look no further than this.

What I liked?

Configurable with a glorious professional 12.5in IPS display - rare in laptops which are usually cheaper TN varieties, features better colour quality and viewing angles.

Features the latest full powered mobile Core i3/i5/i7 Sandy Bridge processors - configurable with a quad-core CPU.

Much better Intel graphics performance than previous generations - good for everything, including some light gaming.

ThinkPad build quality - no flex or creaking, designed to hold up to daily wear (and sometimes more)

What I dint like?

Connectivity is somewhat lacking - no USB 3(found on the non-tablet X220), eSATA.

Cannot use a dock with the battery slice attached

Verdict. Overall this is one of the best tablet devices that I have seen and Is very powerful even for a power user so is a great buy.
