• RE: ThinkPad X220 review

  You need to get a better camera, or have someone else take pictures for this. They might notice all of the crumbs on the keyboard as well.

    Sorry, but it seems to me you never had one.
    The only thing what sucks now is the wide screen with way to small vertical resolution - you have to scroll all the time.

    @byanta You got that right! This thing looks obsolete.

  Its very square. Everything Lenovo (and IBM) makes has all 90 degree edges. Elegance must cost too much.

  The pictures have a shallow depth of field, which is cured by closing the aperture, try out F13 - f22, or a point and shoot with a very small sensor... I have three thhinkpads and love to upgrade to this one.

• Looks thickbook like still

  Sorry but even without the Slice battery the thing looks bulky and outdated. With the Slice battery its even worse. I give my wife crap about her school laptop they loaned her. It was a Thickbook as I called it not a ThinkPad. They are not pads they are Books! This appears no different.

    I have a Lenovo x201 tablet, which I use to write all of my business meeting notes, record audio, video conf, use Office Suite, Adobe Suite, and anything else imaginable. All in a slim package. Looks outdated? So what, it works, every time.

• Camera tips

  Your white balance is wwayyy off. I believe that the background was meant to be white, not pink...
  
  As for the Brick - nice keyboard, but man, is it ugly. Why is it only Apple that can put aircraft aluminum on it's products. I HATE square-edged, hard plastic cases...

• Geared toward business

  This device is geared toward enterprise users, not users who are watching movies and want pretty colors. If you are worried about these things, you are probably not going to pay the premium these devices charge anyway. Then again if you are buying a Mac, you are paying the huge premium for something that doesn't work in the enterprise anyway.

    @riveroad Sorry, but almost everyone in our 'enterprise' is on a Mac. Your view is approximately 7-10 years out of date..

      @ereaderfan your 'enterprise' is pretty atypical then. iTunes, iPhoto, and Garage Band aren't typical use cases.<br><br>Fair to say that OSX has gotten much better in the last couple of years but directory services integration, network print integration, secure SMB, inability to be managed by enterprise software deployment and configuration management tools are but a few reasons why these haven't worked well in the near past. Latest gen remote management (e.g. vPro) tools are nowhere to be found on Macs either. I know, I know, nobody really needs those.

  This is definitely a Mans laptop. Looks great. Nuff said.

• looks awesome

  Don`t care what anyone says it looks cool! Also Thinkpads don`t have the cool factor, also most people now days all they want is something made by Apple, Hp, Compaq, and Acer.
  Don`t see too many people with a Thinkpad under 18 yrs.
