IBM ThinkPad A20m review

In this respect the ThinkPad proved to be acceptable but not notable, running down after a little under three hours of continuous, light use. This is fairly typical of the current crop, but every time I see a notebook that manages significantly better, it makes me wonder why the rest can't match it.

IBM's ThinkPad A20m is an unremarkable offering in its intended market place, with the stunted memory contributing to a wholly unremarkable 2D performance score of 1.75. As a sturdy workhorse, however, you've got pretty much all you could ask for. But unless you particularly favour the IBM brand you could shop around and get a bit more for your money.
