IBM ThinkPad X22 review

expensive and unreliable


IBM bios does not let you connect any peripheral to it; unless you change it, you are stuck with a machine that needs IBM's own CD-ROM and & all.

The performance is average and the video performance is nill.

Very senstive to shocks - internally and TFT-wise; would say more like a desktop than a laptop;

Service is baaaaad; expect waiting in a qew for ages (recorded 37 minutes for 5 calls). Apart from that, IBM's bureaucracy and miriad of emails and letters and calls, with little or no beneffit to the client. So I understand why all these overheads are absorbed in the price of the product.

The machine bundles components that you may easily find at medium range brands.

I will not buy ever again any IBM and I do not recommend to anybody.

HP, Toshiba or Panasonic are on my shopping list from now.

Verdict

If you must have the lightest possible system, and don't mind the lower performance, IBM's ThinkPad X22 may be the ultraportable for you. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Typical price
