Business touch laptop
The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 is a 12.5 inch portable computer with a multi-touch HD display running at 1366x768 resolution. It ships with Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit and an Intel Core i7-2640M processor that reaches 3.5 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 16GB of DDR3 memory and a 500GB solid state drive. It is built for professionals who need pen input and a durable chassis in a compact form factor.
Build integration
The laptop provides three USB ports, a VGA output, a DisplayPort connection and a gigabit LAN jack for wired networking. Wireless connectivity uses 802.11b/g/n and a dedicated docking connector supports shared work areas with other compatible ThinkPad units. Shared system memory handles graphics duties, freeing expansion slots for storage or other upgrades. The integrated keyboard and Active Protection System are designed for mobile reliability without external peripherals.
Upgrade perspective
This unit replaces older non-touch business notebooks that lack solid state storage and multi-touch capability. The jump is worthwhile for users who need pen-enabled workflows, faster boot times from the 500GB SSD and 16GB of memory for heavier multitasking. Buyers who require a higher resolution panel, discrete graphics or newer wireless standards should consider other models. The 12.5 inch footprint also limits screen real estate compared to larger ultraportables.

Questions about this item
Will the i7-2640M throttle when Turbo hits 3.50 GHz for long periods?
The dual-core i7-2640M is rated for 3.50 GHz Turbo; sustained loads will push the cooling system to its thermal ceiling, so expect frequency to step down once the chassis saturates with heat.
How loud and hot does the X220 get during an all-day workload?
The compact 12.5" chassis uses a single fan; under continuous load the fan spins up audibly and the keyboard deck grows warm, typical for this ultraportable form factor.
Which dock do I need on my desk for the ThinkPad X220?
The rectangular docking connector on the bottom mates with Lenovo ThinkPad Series 3 docks used across T, L and W series of the same era.
