Laptop makers seem to enjoy making our lives difficult by sneaking "buy
now" labels onto their latest products and Lenovo has kept up that
tradition by making its 12.5-inch ThinkPad X220
available without telling anyone. It's now ready to purchase at the
company's online store, starting at $849 with a Core i3-2310M processor,
and its convertible tablet sibling, the X220T,
is also eager to be snatched up, though its starting price is $1,249
with the same CPU on board. Eight business days will be required for
delivery to reach you, but we'd wait a whole lot longer than that for
the gorgeous IPS display and extreme battery life on offer. Sadly, you
can't upgrade beyond the 1366 x 768 resolution nor away from the Intel
HD Graphics 3000 "option," but then we hear that PowerPoint
presentations should be blindingly fast on these machines anyhow. Hit
the source links to see just how high you can raise the price by maxing
out the rest of the specs. |
