In the Lenovo Communications utility, you can optimize the microphone for single voice or multiple voice calls, both of which worked as advertised when we conducted a conference call over ooVoo. The ThinkPad X220 has a couple of features designed to enhance the video conferencing experience, the most obvious of which is a row of buttons on the upper left side of the deck that quickly allow you to raise and lower the volume or mute/unmute the microphone. This problem persisted until we finally powered off the system completely for a few seconds before booting again. At one point during our testing, the webcam even stopped working and displayed a black block instead of an image. Under bright overhead lighting, details were sharper, but had way too high of a white balance at both auto modes tinkering with the settings didn't help. Making a Skype call from our dimly lit living room, our facial features were clearly visible, but colors were muted.

On the left are a VGA port, DisplayPort, two more USB ports (for a total of three), and an ExpressCard/54 slot, something you don't see on many notebooks these days.Ĭlick to enlargeThe 720p webcam, which supports Skype HD calls, provided crisp but washed out images. On the right side are an SD card reader, an Ethernet port, an audio jack, and a powered USB connection that can charge your devices even when the notebook is off. Though we wouldn't recommend using the X220 has a home stereo, when we played both the bass-heavy "Forget Me Nots" and the orchestral theme from the Empire Strikes Back, sound was true and loud enough to fill a room.įor such a small notebook, the X220 has plenty of ports. While 1366 x 768 has become a standard, it offers less vertical real estate for viewing documents and web pages. Our only complaint is that Lenovo chose to go with a 16:9, 1366 x 768 aspect ratio after offering 16:10, 1280 x 800 displays on the ThinkPad X201. Even standing at 90 degrees to the left or right, we were able to watch videos without noticing a significant loss of color fidelity. Unfortunately, while the keyboard itself feels great, the short 2.5-inch palmrest will leave many users' wrists hanging over its edge, which can be uncomfortable and can place added strain on the shoulders and wrists.Ĭlick to enlargeThe 12.5-inch 1366 x 768 matte display on the ThinkPad X220 offers bright, sharp images and amazingly wide viewing angles.

The keyboard also has a full array of extended keys such as Scroll Lock and Pause for users who need them. Like those on Lenovo's ThinkPad T Series, the X220's keyboard also features an enlarged Esc and Delete to make those frequently used keys easier to target. Due to these advantages, we were able to score a strong 86 words per minute on the Ten Thunbs Typing Test, better than our typical 80 wpm average.
The ThinkPad X220's keyboard offers the kind of amazing tactile feedback and concave shaped keys that allow touch typists to input quickly and accurately.
We consider temperatures below 95 degrees to be comfortable.
After streaming a video at full screen for 15 minutes, we measured the touchpad at just 82 degrees Fahrenheit, the keyboard at a cool 86 degrees, and the bottom at a reasonable 91 degrees. There are few things more uncomfortable than a hot notebook, so we must give kudos to the X220 for keeping it cool.
