The Lenovo ThinkPad E220 is an affordable 12 inch laptop with a thin design and the choice of an Intel i3, i5, or i7 processor. In most ways, the E220 is much like the larger 14 inch ThinkPad E420, although it is smaller, lighter, and more affordable.
The Lenovo ThinkPad E220s has a 12.5 inch glossy display that is rather fantastically described as “Infinity Glass”. It features a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, with integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000. The processor is available in a few different versions, including a dual-core Intel Core i5-2537M with 1.4GHz of grunt, a faster i7-2617M version, and a slower i3-2357M version.
The design of the E220s features rounded corners and a polished metal trim, both of which set this computer apart from the traditional ThinkPad exterior. It also comes with a metal alloy support for increased durability, a spill resistant keyboard, and an “Active Protection System” which detects sudden drops and prevents hard disk failure. These safety features are nice when you consider the affordable price of this computer.
Other features include an Intel HM65 chipset, 4GB of DDR3-1333 RAM, and a 320GB 7200 RPM Seagate hard drive. However, it is possible to configure this computer with more RAM and different hard drive sizes if required. The keyboard is a standard chiclet design, although unfortunately, it is not backlit.
Connectivity on the Lenovo ThinkPad E220s is fairly standard, with two USB 2.0 ports, one USB 2.0/eSATA port, HDMI, Ethernet, and a memory card reader. However, there is no ExpressCard slot and no USB 3.0 port, both of which are a little disappointing.
The battery life of the Lenovo ThinkPad E220s has been measured at a little under five hours, which is certainly not great but still more than some computers in this class. However, because the battery is unremovable, there is no ability to change batteries once the juice has run out. Depending on the configuration, the Lenovo ThinkPad E220s is selling for between $900 and $1200.
