The X220i is the third model in the X2xx series and was manufactured between March 2011 and February 2013. The i variant stands for a weaker hardware configuration but also a longer battery life.

My device was purchased from a reseller and is in very good condition. The rubber coating also looks well preserved and still has the slight glitter effect. An unused keyboard was installed, but it does not appear to be original. The RAM has been expanded by the reseller to the official maximum, unofficially even 16 GB would be possible.

The X220 is the last model with the classic keyboard and is therefore a popular collector’s item.
