Lenovo ThinkPad X220 review -- Engadget

Gotta love the "Battery options jack up the price" con. No (shat) sherlock 
. Batteries are expensive no matter where you buy them. At least Lenovo gives the option of a slice battery.
It's ok, Engadget will just continue to dole out unconditional love to every single product made by Apple.

they could have put "much fewer ways to jack up the price" as a pro for macbooks.

8/10 after saying this in the intro:
"The point is, that all-too-familiar ThinkPad can deceive you with its boring business looks, but it's arguably one of the best laptops we've ever tested."

Their two main complaints:
Both of these caveats could be improved with a more square, less widescreen display. Instead of using a 16:9 aspect ratio, Lenovo could have stayed with 16:10 using a WSXGA resolution (1440 x 900). This would require a deeper form factor increasing space available for the touchpad and increasing the vertical real estate for the display (assuming the same width), reducing the necessity for scrolling.

Really? Because last I checked, they had almost no availability of the 1440x900 12" screens last generation.

Stopped reading right here:
"The X220 is the first laptop we've reviewed with Intel's new Sandy Bridge 2.5GHz Core i5-2520M processor, and like the Core i7-powered MacBook Pro, the power surge is noticeable. When it came to using the ultraportable for our everyday tasks -- writing this review in Microsoft Word, chatting in Trillian, checking our Twitter feed in TweetDeck, working with ten or so tabs open in Internet Explorer 9, and doing some light photo editing in GIMP -- the entire system was incredibly zippy."
*facepalm*

If it is a Mac, rank it between 8/10 and 10/10.
If it is not a Mac, rank it between 1/10 and 8/10.

At any rate, I was remarking *if* Lenovo would have spec'd such a display. I am not saying there exists that size and resolution atm.

They mention their test model comes with USB 3.0. Did they review an i7 model? Or can you get USB 3.0 with i5?
