Design
Yes this maybe be a business laptop, but Lenovo did take its time in crafting this beauty, with a Soft matted top that has an LED indicator built into the ThinkPad logo. To the full fleshed out Lenovo keyboard with chicklet style keys that is very familiar and well laid out. The chrome trimming on the edges give it a very classic look. That expresses a sense of urgency that the system looks to provide to the user.
The battery is non removable, but it does come with 2 USB 2.0, as well as an e-sata/USB port, HDMI-out, card reader, VGA port and a single headphone/speaker jack.
Using
The ThinkPad E220s feels and operates like a ThinkPad, which is a good thing. The keys are so well spaced for a smaller sized laptop, you tend to forget its only 12.5". The ThinkPad E220s runs surprisingly cool, using Intel's advanced cooling tech., you can barely hear the cooling fan, and at peak usage the unit was only slightly warm. The ThinkPad E220s also handles multitasking very well, ran a couple of scenarios, opening multiple browsers as well as rendering a video on the laptop using Power Director software. It Handled all those take surprising well for a system only sport 4GB of Ram and using an Intel Core i5 processor.
