The Lenovo ThinkPad X220 suffers from poor touchpad design, and the positioning of “Fn” and “Ctrl” key still is a problem, Review:, If there’s one thing that we’ve learnt after reviewing so many ultralight laptops, it’s that the ultralight laptops certainly aren’t the machines that will please everyone.

The fact that the X220 can keep running for more than 18 and a half hours with the optional battery slice is nothing s...
