Ibm Thinkpad X220 Notebook Review
A friend used the ThinkPad Classic notebook it will be difficult to give up comfort
, efficiency and security - there are so many words can fully explain the ThinkPad's charm: Your laptop may not be the first ThinkPad, but your last laptop will be ThinkPad.
If the ThinkPad T series is finely sculpted in the male, then the X series is too small now, X series to people who are not familiar with the initial impression that it is the pursuit of the ultimate portable, but truly understand the "X" knows that it is to ensure performance is not reduced as far as the weight of the design to a minimum. Small but perfectly formed - you can probably look at the market 13-inch portable model, using the standard voltage processor, there are a few!
ThinkPad X series development process
"X" of the prototype dates back to 1996, when the ThinkPad 560 shocked the world let the world be expected after 20 years the development trend of notebook, it has the industry's most slender figure was 1.2 inches thick, weighs only 1.9kg, even if Compared with similar products today, its portability is also very good. And because the best overall thermal design, ThinkPad 560 rare on the market "no fan" ultra-thin notebook. ThinkPad 560 and the first to abandon the floppy drive, but as the first portable early adopters, not the prime of life floppy and CD-ROM, or in the course will bring some inconvenience. And three years later ThinkPad 570 portable and efficient will be extended to a new concept and the current situation are the stage of maturity - Ultrabase is designed to be all PC manufacturers following suit.
Ultrabase is what we often say that the docking station, it can be extended drive, floppy drive, second hard drive, second battery, etc. The purpose is to improve overall performance and ease of use - whether mobile or fixed office, notebook The ultimate goal of portability is the ThinkPad has been pursuing, bringing the ThinkPad portable prototype has been the early light.
ThinkPad X20 is the first "X", 12-inch X20 also for future generations indicates the direction of the ultimate portable, and now after 11 years, a thousand mill million hit, "X" has become the ThinkPad's classic series, now with W , T is also a clear positioning of the two lines together to form a ThinkPad Classic. X2X (after the X represents a number) after experiencing the X3, X4 (which X41t is the first Table PC), X6, X30X, X20X evolving during this period, Classic "X" of the new members of the ThinkPad X220 was born.
ThinkPad X220 overall appearance
The good news is, ThinkPad X220 can be equipped with IPS screen (IPS screen has the advantage of viewing angle, response speed, accurate color reproduction, and the traditional TN screen, IPS screen gently draw about water patterns are not prone to deformation, Therefore, there are known hardware screen), and equipped with a USB 3.0 interface, but the hardware only for some of the high distribution models, and the protagonist of this test configuration no more than the slightest regret.
Let the ultimate thin and light ThinkPad pursuit, and abandon a comfortable operating experience that is not possible, ThinkPad design every detail of the body has a story, they are after a million times before to test the hands of consumers: TrackPoint in the red point and the distance between two keys, the keyboard keys key processes and resilience, Ranunculus type pad, Owl Eagle Wings fans ...... even the bottom of the fuselage lift angle. Looked from the side, left low right high, left-right-width of the narrow design more in line with people's habits, details of excellence is to make us willing, can not let go choose ThinkPad reasons.
ThinkPad X220 is still determination of stature, appearance still handsome. Abolished the generation of X220 could remain one of the body, to prevent accidental drops and damage to the fuselage of the screen hook, replaced by a powerful magnet. This design does not already know whether security would be some impact, but the current usage is: When closing the X220, the screen will quickly "hit" to the keyboard surface, then, if it is their hard-earned money to buy the machine, my heart is bound to look slightly Deng - distressed is inevitable.
16:9 appear on the screen ever since has been "conservative" friends of the attack, "octopus screen" to show its exact length, narrow. The same era, when many black fans are in praise of fruit machine is still adhere to when using a 16:10 screen, ThinkPad X220's "new look" has been disgraced.
Why not speak of cutting the proportion of the screen will change to the actual use of point of view, from 16:10 to 16:9 users there would be some "narrow" sense, Win7 system I had to move the taskbar left of the screen, forced a return to self-deceiving, and for this contempt by the next colleague, long horns that I play the sheep dog, well, people in the arena, involuntarily, my eyes on the screen so long Leia also flying, I would like to browse the Web can display more content, ah, is actually quite upset force, only to see ah get used to see - the human potential is unlimited, we are was the recipient.
ThinkPad X220 Interfaces
Matching IPS screen and USB 3.0 are required to continue to support silver, but with a DisplayPort interface, so that we no longer connected with the docking station, you can achieve the same audio and video output. ThinkPad X220 left interface from left to right heat vent, USB 2.0 interface (optional USB 3.0), VGA, DisplayPort, USB 2.0, wireless network hardware switch and 54mm ExpressCard.
From left to right the right interface for multi-card reader, USB2.0 (in the state of the external adapter to shut down charging), RJ45 network cable port, audio input / output composite jack, hard cover and the keyhole . Used the X220 users will surely be the location of the interface cable reservations, especially in the wired network and cable companies use the mouse, because its locationis somewhat unreasonable - wireless mouse can be slightly alleviated.
Adapter jack was transferred to the rear of the fuselage, to avoid more cases of winding the cable, this is commendable. Widening of the alloy compared to the previous screen axis "X" also makes my heart at ease, but also to maintain, reflecting solid ThinkPad tradition.
ThinkPad X220 battery microleakage compared with the body before the "X" has greatly improved, without any signs of loosening. Remove the battery you can find a SIM card slot, with the body's internal WWAN Wireless WAN adapter (no built-in, need to buy their own) can be connected to the Internet anywhere, anytime. Also worth mentioning is, mini PCI-E slot can also be extended mSATA fast start, but only idle for a slot, which means that only two mSATA choose one with WWAN.
ThinkPad X220 details of the changes
Canceled the ThinkPad X220 screen hook right in front of the fuselage design of a groove, is to facilitate one-handed opening and closing the screen, but the thinning of the screen does not seem to withstand the force is not balanced - on one hand, the will find that there is significant deformation of upper right corner of the screen, although there are aluminum-magnesium alloy top cover protection, but knew nothing about long-term use will cause damage to the display.
Classic keyboard "Classic" body essential to observe the ThinkPad X220's keyboard will find the right low left high, but the actual use, the keyboard keys to a long process compared to the X201 and resilient better, I personally perceived X220 keyboard more outstanding comfort.
The top left of the keyboard shortcuts without giving the feeling of the wind is weak, the first is too loose, followed by the key process is short, press down the button to sink almost feel the moment, especially in the long slow work system cases, when Adjust the volume through the shortcut on the screen when the progress bar will show a certain delay, then thought he did not press down.
ThinkPad X220 battery body of the lamp there is a certain cut, whether to insert the power adapter does not have any tips, especially in closing the screen, when the board with a power cord plugged lines or more can not be determined whether the power button on wiring board case, the user may be the case in the absence of power to boot, and the work process and no one will always pay attention to the state power under the system tray icon, use the battery only encountered after the sudden need to go out some time office of the situation, due to lack of power loss.
ThinkPad X220's touchpad into one design, looks really beautiful lot, but in practice it is not so optimistic, because the left and right buttons and the touchpad is not open to independent, when you click a file, Whether it is with one hand or both hands, there will pointers to drift more or less, thus losing accuracy.
Touch pad is designed in the X series models to meet the needs of different people have used, and used a small Red Hat users are fond of their ease of use, personal and subjective that you never used to be Little Red Riding Hood cast aside touchpad, no matter how many operations gesture. Little Red Riding Hood's many benefits, but the ThinkPad X220's "it" is marred by the touchpad and TrackPoint as the distance between two keys are too close, turn off the touchpad when there is no case, press the left button will inadvertently touch touch panel, double-click the situation is highly likely, the solution is to disable the touchpad.
Heat, endurance
Classic "X" in addition to the X31, X32 alone was added to some "unique", the other set of models are significant, it has also become a symbol or a standard. With the release of Sandy Bridge processor, set was no longer sad, in the test data on it even beyond the entry-level graphics card, not only that, while ensuring the performance, Sandy Bridge of the heat is almost Penryn processor architecture quite. ThinkPad X220 is also leveraging the line, equipped with the latest
Lenovo Thinkpad X200 battery processors also make it in terms of performance and regular size notebook to compete with the capital.
In addition to excellent ease of use, there is a consumer willing to pocket the early ThinkPad factors, it is cooling. A standard voltage processor can carry 12-inch laptop to control the heat as good as the X200 is not easy, it almost became a banner with the "ancient" as an example, consumers will naturally have "to are "more stringent requirements. In the daily office environment, ThinkPad X220's body temperature distribution, the visual experience and human contact do not feel it is running, only the slightest breeze in the air that prompted the silence. Of course, this is the load intensity is not high in the use of state, if occasionally play 3D games, the top left of the keyboard there are still significant areas of heating, and the fan noise will increase.
Asked Sandy Bridge processor's blessing, ThinkPad X220's battery life than previous X201, X200's generation have also made great progress, the highest in the screen brightness, high-performance power options under, 63Wh 6-cell battery can also be used for more than five and a half hours, and in the out of office when appropriate to reduce the CPU frequency and screen brightness, the battery can adhere to the measured 8 hours, for now, ThinkPad X220 mobile office life has been leading the way.
Summary
ThinkPad is a creator, it did many years ago the banner of innovation are the side surface, we can see by observing the development of
Lenovo Thinkpad X201 battery technology, and now many versions of a technology can be derived from other manufacturers in the business of the even Entertainment this occurs, it is undeniable, notebook development of these years, they also have many innovative ideas are seeking, but he knew that the end results are created by the return of ThinkPad origin. Although the advances of science and technology so that consumers now die on the net do not care about human design, most people only care about performance improvement, beauty and appearance, while ignoring the feelings of the most primitive tools, but the big and laboratory absolute not to forget, as long as the positive or Naito some excellent designers can participate in decision-making (knew nothing about), ThinkPad each change is not deliberate on, and finally, as the same article at the beginning of that sentence, or hope ThinkPad also become a Terminator.
