Even with the new and hardcore specs that are included in the new Lenovo ThinkPad X220, the same classic design has been used, keeping the concept consistent for both old and new ThinkPad customers. The battery life is considered as one of the longest lasting batteries there is for a Lenovo, and it’s included in this package. Even though the size may just be 12.5 inches, something smaller than expected, nevertheless, the performance it carries with its high calibre specs are more than promising to take note of. This Ultraportable laptop has everything included, both good for games and great multitasking office functions. Despite of its size, the keyboard is actually quite large, with enough space to make room for big and fast-gliding fingers.
One of the highlights of the Dell XPS 15 is its unique set of speakers that cannot be compared from others. Just imagine listening to music and even enjoying game sounds via built-in JBL speakers. It has become better than its predecessors are, because of the combination of an Nvidia graphics card, powered by a mighty quad-core i7. The battery is also notable for its long staying life, despite of a draining processor under its care.
The Toshiba Portege R835-P56X has a sharp design and performance that can be quite close as an alternative to the MacBook Pro. After all, who can mistake an Intel Core i5 with batteries that can almost last a full day of hard core multitasking, battery draining duties. The graphics can be considered as more user friendly than it used to be, however, it is not to be considered as good as other GPUs for hardcore gamers. Battery is noted to perform better this time around, as it got 3 more hours of additional life than the previous models.
