Released in 2011 -- Still relevant in 2016!
2 of 2 found this helpful The i5 X220 is a great little machine. Inside it has a great suite of hardware that can still keep up just fine today in 2016. While it is limited to 8GB of RAM total, and the TN display sucks pretty bad, the super solid construction really sells this ultra-portable laptop. Sure, you can find the i7 version with 8GB of RAM and the IPS display. You can even find the nice tablet version with the Wacom digitizer here on ebay. But those are roughly double the price of the relatively modest i5 version. And being double the price, the i7 X220 is close to the same price range as more current laptops, which can make it much harder to sell.
Truth is, I bought the i5 X220 for $200 or so, and I couldn't be happier. Windows 10 works surprisingly well on this machine! It can even handle large canvases in Photoshop CS6 and Clip Studio Paint just fine. When I received it, it had a particular problem where it would turn off if you pressed against the inside ThinkPad logo too hard (as in resting your wrist on it to type, for example). I simply opened up the machine and made sure nothing was shorting out or damaged and, after putting it back together, I haven't had any troubles since. I plan to get the IPS display (since the TN display really blows for color reproduction), a SSD, and an extra sick of RAM for this machine, and I think it'll be my little companion for years to come. All in all, its a great little laptop.
