I love my X220 and was looking to buy a newer model since the 1366x768 screen is really limiting, but I guess I'm done with Thinkpads for good.
- rogerbinns 14y agoI have the T430s (predecessor model of the article). It is almost a perfect machine - I have a fast CPU, 16GB of RAM, both 500GB HDD and a 250GB SSD, thunderbolt, fingerprint reader, a DVD drive I replaced with a battery etc. It weighs 1.8kg which is fine. This is an excellent mobile powerhouse. (I have a Nexus 10 for light fluffy stuff.) But then the screen is 1600x900, 16:9 and there is a massive bezel (4.5cm vertically and 3.2cm horizontally). I want more dpi, I want a more sensible aspect ratio and I'll take a larger screen (unfortunately the 15" T530 plus wide bezel was just too large). The screen is the thing they made no effort to fix.
- glesica 14y agoI will second this. I have the same machine, the aspect ratio is completely obnoxious for anything productive. Not wide enough for two decently sized windows side-by-side, and cramped vertically. UGH.
- vacri 14y agoI have an X201 and it's also a great machine... except for the terrible screen. Why they skimp on the screen is beyond me. I can be sitting square in front of it and still dark colours in videos are off, the viewing angle is that narrow.
