Performance
Lenovo Thinkpad x220It a big deal when Intel moves to a new architecture, which includes not only the processor, but everything around it. The X220 is an ultraportable the company the first to receive a second-generation 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5-2520m. As the first to arrive to my bank, all around the ultraportable will be even slower (using all the processors in the previous generation). He scored 2:25 into the handbrake and 2.82 in the two tests Cinebench R11.5 processor intensive to beat the Sony Z1390X (Handbrake: 2:49, R11.5: 2.19) and master Dell V130 completely (Handbrake: 4: 37, R11.51.29). In a global test and PCMark Vantage, X220 (7719) broke the Lenovo X201 (7083) by a margin of 9%.
Even better, the X220 now handle 3D games without a separate graphics chip, integrated Intel Graphics HD 3000 is more than 4 times more powerful than the previous iteration, as indicated by the tests 3DMark06 (4083). With more advanced titles like Crysis and Lost Planet 2, but you must lower eye-candy.
To be a reliable travel companion, the X220, especially, to make the battery life of their priority. With a 63Wh battery (6 cells), which scored an impressive 8 hours and 40 minutes. While Lenovo X201 lasted 9:36, does so with a much larger battery (94WH). The cut battery sold separately X220 6-cell ($ 179) that extends across the base of the laptop and give you extra time 6-8 to eight hours already. With the standard battery alone survived the Dell V130 (03:02), Sony Z1390X (5:19), and the HP 2540p (08:02).
