The fastest ultraportable around.
When your need for speed and your need for mobility converge, look to the ThinkPad X220 to rise to the occasion. The same full-powered 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processors that fuel many 14" and 15" laptops are built right into the X220's slim — it's 2mm thinner than previous generations — frame. Energize graphics-intense programs with two-times-faster Intel HD Graphics, and instantly increase your startup and shutdown times with Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows® 7, with optional RapidDrive.

Battery that lasts as long as you do.
Stay unplugged and on-the-go all day with a multitude of battery options for your X220. Get up to 15 hours with ThinkPad Battery 29++ (9-cell), but if that isn't long enough to keep your engine roaring, also attach the slim, external ThinkPad slice battery for up to 23 hours of juice. Continue to optimize your X220's lasting performance with our Low Power Multimedia Mode and Power Manager utilities.

Intelligent design.
We went feather-light on the weight (starting at under three pounds), but we still loaded the X220 with heavy usability features. Type more comfortably and accurately with a 45-percent larger, buttonless touchpad design on our industry-leading Thinkpad keyboard. Rely on our premium durability standards and Active Protection System™ to provide a rock-solid machine, which now includes a redesigned hinge with stronger magnetic-latching support. IT managers will also appreciate the laptop's common docking feature because it allows for shared work areas with other ThinkPad T, L and W series laptops.

Enhanced communication tools.
Boost efficiency and productivity in your business day by making use of our outstanding multimedia and communications tools. Give flawless video presentations with a 720p HD webcam, and choose between two HD microphone configurations for crystal-clear VoIP meetings: Private Chat mode eliminates background noise when one person is talking, while Conference Call mode picks up sounds from across a room when your table is full. Multitasking during a Web chat? Keyboard noise suppression minimizes key clicks from being heard, and LED indicators on our mute buttons ensure your microphone/speaker is turned off when necessary.

Accessories.
When you're not relying on your battery for long-lasting power, plug in the equally ultraportable Lenovo 90W Ultraslim AC/DC Combo Adapter, which comes with a dual charging cable so you can simultaneously power both your laptop and peripheral devices. Take the Kensington MicroSaver Cable Lock on the road with you to secure your X220. And when you're in the office, snap your system into the ThinkPad Ultrabase for a wide array of expansion capabilities. For best value, add accessories when you purchase a system.
