I love my x220 came with an i7 upgraded the RAM to 16GB, slapped in a 256GB SSD. The last modification I have to complete is the Full HD screen conversion, I am really excited about this. I have a few of the extended and regular batteries. I tend to just use the extended battery. I daily carry my x220 and I am not sure what I'll replace it with. I also have a mid 2014 MacBook air but the specs are mediocre. The only real benefit the air has is it's slimmer and lighter.

The x220 is too heavy for daily carry in my opinion, plus the screen can be pretty bad if you don't get the IPS one.

I'd have trouble recommending it to anyone these days unless they were looking for something really cheap.

I wouldn't really describe it as heavy, but that's right about the screen
