Lenovo Thinkpad E220s Review
A new generation of ThinkPad has been released in stages
, today PConline evaluation room will be introduced from the Edge family of new products - 12.5-inch ThinkPad E220s (there are 14 inches with a series of E420s). See the suffix s (slim abbreviation) believe that a little understanding of the ThinkPad notebook users have a clear meaning of what it stands for - light. As representatives of 12 inches, the latest date from the X60s start until the end of the plus s X201s models have gone through four generations, while the ThinkPad notebook by observing the naming, "X220s" no longer exists, does this mean E220s have been quietly took over the historic mission it?
To the unity of the ThinkPad family name, a new generation of Edge Series successors (E420s and E220s) will be directly called E-series, since T, X, W, L and E, five members of the finally successful rendezvous. Compared to the T, X, W Series, E Series is impressive in appearance - it revolutionized!
1 dark green matte surface material
(2) the transition seamless integrated design of the screen border (no border official called King Kong Screen)
3 wrapped the body of chromium plating process "waist"
4 subsided screen axis
See the warp of the design, I believe some diehard ThinkPad has a psychological, verbal began with a personal emotional behavior, a harmonious society to calm, we do not discuss this change good or bad, or the first to know How about a new generation of ThinkPd layout:
First, the traditional classic X, T, W three families, continue to fully maintain the enterprise market in mature, high-end business applications and users to develop and expand, its essence will continue to carry forward the traditional heritage.
Second, the new fashion of L and E are two series, their primary goal is growth-oriented enterprises and specific needs of young users, the relative price and quality advantage friendly to increase consumer choice, to further expand the ThinkPad market occupancy rate.
The slim version of the E series has enough performance to ensure the same time, greatly reduce the weight, volume and further reduce the individual that it is positioned to: performance, portability, quality, comfort, price and service requirements of certain individuals , fashion users.
In short, E-series expansion of the market good, not its continuation of the traditional tasks.
A chrome frame with a full texture of the portable slim body
Prior to the E series has a strong visual impact with a large red, and we get to this ThinkPad E220s chassis is also not true black color, dark green matte material feels very close in the sense that T, X series of class skin coating, aluminum-magnesium alloy material in selected materials, compared to before the E series is a lot of engineering plastics, which makes the balance weight and durability.
Body frame in chrome-plated body is a very bold ThinkPad design, but with the E-series prior to the "success" and its product positioning, such subversive design is reasonable, the appearance, although in addition to " ThinkPad "We have been aware of the Logo not see any signs of black (roof hook with no screen), but this design really is more stylish and improved texture.
As a result of non-removable lithium-ion polymer battery design, 12.5 inch E220s in thickness and body control on the area quite well, which allowed a more compact and slim, with only 1.502 kilograms of weight, portability is not a problem .

Second, the magnesium alloy forging axis leading sunken screen
Although the use of aluminum-magnesium alloy body cover material, but thin body and no roll cage will inevitably make people suspicious of firmness, but the design by observing the E220s, I found the cover a certain curvature, even if only slightly deformed hard pressed, the user need not worry.
As we all know, in order to adapt to various conditions, 180-degree screen to open the ThinkPad has been the traditional point of view, even before the E series or X100e, but for more on the trend of the times, in order to be more fashionable, we see the E220s have adopted Shaft sinking-style screen design, which means that users can only open a maximum of about 145 degrees screen angle.

Although the use of aluminum-magnesium alloy body cover material, but thin body and no roll cage will inevitably make people suspicious of firmness, but the design by observing the E220s, I found the cover a certain curvature, even if only slightly deformed hard pressed, the user need not worry.
As we all know, in order to adapt to various conditions, 180-degree screen to open the ThinkPad has been the traditional point of view, even before the E series or X100e, but for more on the trend of the times, in order to be more fashionable, we see the E220s have adopted Shaft sinking-style screen design, which means that users can only open a maximum of about 145 degrees screen angle.
Although the screen with a sunken shaft design, but still retained the metal hinge ensure a certain durability, when users mistakenly believe that the old ThinkPad E220s screen will still open 180 degrees and pressing down firmly on the screen, its protective effect on the fully manifested. Of course, the metal hinge is not a panacea, and quickly adapt to is the "longevity" of the road.
In the ThinkPad E220s body, matte non-glare screen has disappeared, replaced by "King Kong screen unbounded", face it you can even dress up grooming. Seamlessly integrated over the design so I think the end of the ThinkPad Table with t and popular tablet.
"King Kong screen unbounded" tape around the cover to ensure that the keyboard is not offset caused by the screen mark, but the author when in use, close the screen or when the left palm care squeeze will have a certain screen, hope this is only the individual the phenomenon. In addition, the seamless border heterozygosity is not very strict, a trial within a few days have been a few dust particles enter a long period of use is not clear whether there will be poured into the situation.
Third, the sub-island integrated touchpad keyboard is slightly inconvenient operation changes
ThinkPad E220s keyboard is still using the sub-island arc design, compared with the previous E40, it's Esc, Delete keys larger, presumably this is also drawing on the T-series keyboard design, make it easier for the two commonly used to locate keys.
Trackpoint ThinkPad is an indispensable factor, E220s are no exception. Compared with the corresponding keys on the E40 in the key way longer, and also features a spill-resistant, the use of comfort on the keyboard, although many black fans of their disdain, but it is still the greatest degree of assurance of the ThinkPad traditional keyboard operating experience.
ThinkPad E220s 6 line keys keyboard design, with no shortcuts, users can "Fn + F1 ~ F12" key combination to achieve the icon corresponding to the function. Note: The default factory E220s F1 ~ F12 for the shortcut keys, the user can enter the BIOS settings for exchange.
Family of next-generation ThinkPad touchpad all as integrated design, while ensuring the integrity of the more beautiful, but in practice when you press the left button when the mouse pointer will be more or less drift, and for those who like red dot operation of the user, as too close to the red and blue touchpad, palm will often inadvertently this area, the mouse drift, double-click the misuse
Lenovo E255 battery is inevitable, while users wishing to turn off you need to enter the BIOS to disable the touchpad rather a lot.
Four, ThinkLight keyboard light some embarrassing position return fan
ThinkLight finally return to the E series, and there is no "roof" it's built-in design needs to better ensure simple, an LED light, a reflector, plus the "unbounded King Kong Screen" and the gap between the screen , ThinkLight born. The keyboard light transmittance is more serious in low-light environment will feel a bit harsh.
ThinkLight changes in position of twists and turns, from the earliest to the middle to the left and right now, each time the designer has a unique perspective, then this it?
Above the keyboard are two audio via Dolby Home Theater v4 certified speakers, which in T, X, W series is not the case, of course, also closely related to the positioning and E series.
E220s rear fuselage a hidden SIM card slot, with the body internal mini PCI-e slot on the 3G wireless network adapter for anytime, anywhere with wireless wide area network connectivity, it also reflects the 12 inches of small portable advantage.
As a result of internal non-removable battery design, ThinkPad E220s at the bottom with some of the design of a mobile digital devices (such as mobile phones, tablet PCs) like "RESET" pinhole, but the design can not only cut off the power to restart. When the computer encounters crashes, blue screen can not be properly turned off, the user just fine with enough hard objects that can be implemented pressing this switch to force a shutdown operation.
Fifth, modular design to facilitate the removal of the internal body clean and orderly
Many fans on the bottom of the hollow black keyboard has been held in contempt, it is indeed a solid degree of integration than the bottom of the all-metal keyboard, but even if you are left T right-X you can not escape the reality of fate. Note: Trackpoint and keyboard cables were used to link two
This mini PCI-e slot can be extended not only WWAN, you can also extend mSATA, with the association of EE 2.0 (full name ENHANCED EXPERIENCE 2.0, which is often said RapidBoot Quick Start technology) E220s can boot time by 30%, but mSATA is rare in the market and the price is expensive, and because of the
Lenovo E42a battery internal space constraints, E220s only one internal mini PCI-e slot, WWAN module that mSATA and he did not have me, I did not have him.
See this streamlined version of the fan, I will inevitably have E220s heat to worry, but that the turbine blades and dense low-voltage processor letting the author of its hope, the performance of the specific heat is also concerned about the following article please users cooling performance. The CPU can not replace the BGA is believed to prefer their own DIY, upgraded black black fans have disappointed - this internal space, this single-tube cooling fan, refused to give up it.
Seven cooling capacity boast rapid charging technology unworthy of the name
Excellent heat dissipation has been a ThinkPad tradition, but by observing the upper and lower two images, ThinkPad E220s disappointing. Even with the low-voltage processors within a narrow space can not be allowed to get rid of the poor thermal performance, and why I think at the moment before the X100e.
Lenovo ThinkPad E220s to support the official said quick charge function, RapidCharge technology can, in just 30 minutes into the empty electric battery charge about 80% of electricity, can not replace the battery for a notebook's conception of the design is correct, but by experiment , within half an hour, E220s only filled less than 40% of electricity, is it in the off state to charge? Of course, such a charge rate is already quite good.
Summary
Although the subject is called X201s challenger, but the E series of market positioning and the traditional T, X, W is completely different, the black of the old users are also best not to compare them, because all it take a new generation of the E series The mission is to expand the market occupancy rate, it retains the traditional ThinkPad
Lenovo E280 battery maximum comfort and ease of use, while the price to do as much as possible close to the people, and get rid of the static old-fashioned appearance of the E-series is more suitable to specific needs young users choice.
