This processor packs Intel's new HD 3000 graphics core and has max TDP of only 35W. Our review unit came equipped with a dual-core Core i5-2520M clocked at 2.5GHz (four thread capable with Hyper-Threading). The ThinkPad X220 also includes a full-size keyboard and an all-new oversized touchpad with integrated mouse-click buttons.

The ThinkPad X series refresh is available in various configurations, from the Core i3-2310M all the way up to the high-end i7-2620M (the series fastest dual-core mobile processor). Feature highlights include a 12.5" 1366x768 IPS display, a solidly built thin frame and starting weight of 3 pounds, all without sacrificing on performance courtesy of Intel's new mobile processors. The X220 was just introduced this month and represents Lenovo's latest ultraportable ThinkPad.

Over the past year I've had the opportunity to review nearly half a dozen Lenovo notebooks including models from the consumer-level IdeaPad line as well as the business-oriented ThinkPad series.
