Business ultraportable with touch input
The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is a 12.5-inch laptop built for mobile professionals who need a compact chassis, a responsive touch display and a pen input option. It ships with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, an Intel Core i7-2640M processor and 8GB of DDR3 memory for everyday office workloads.
Sustained performance on a dual-core design
The Core i7-2640M runs at a base frequency with a turbo boost up to 3.5 GHz, allowing short bursts of speed when thermal headroom allows. Under continuous load the dual-core chip will settle at lower clocks to manage heat within the slim body, so extended compiles or encodes run slower than the peak figure suggests.
Connectivity ceiling of the built-in interfaces
Gigabit Ethernet tops out at 1000 Mbps, while the 802.11b/g/n wireless link is limited by the older Wi-Fi standard and shared spectrum. The single USB 3.0 port offers 5 Gbit/s theoretical bandwidth, and the VGA plus DisplayPort outputs drive external monitors at the panel's native 1366x768 resolution or higher.

Questions about this item
How much power does the Core i7-2640M draw when the X220 runs all day?
The Intel Core i7-2640M operates at up to 3.50 GHz turbo frequency with 4M cache. The 256GB SSD has no moving parts, so it generates less heat than a mechanical drive. The 12.5" HD touch display uses shared system memory for graphics.
What RAM type must already be in the laptop for the 8GB to work?
The system uses DDR3 memory. The 8GB is already installed and the 256GB solid-state drive is fitted. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit is pre-loaded, so the machine boots straight to the desktop without extra parts.
Will the VGA and DisplayPort outputs drive an older 1366x768 monitor?
The laptop provides one VGA port and one DisplayPort. Both support the native 1366x768 resolution of the built-in 12.5" touch screen, so an external monitor at that resolution will work without scaling issues.
