Similar weight as the Air but much thicker. Little more powerful CPU to which I added 8GB ram and a 240GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. 12-13" IPS display, is the crappiest IPS I ever saw, still better than a TN though. Battery life is around 5h, OK I guess. Keyboard is great but touchpad is horrible. Mac os x is not an option, but Win 7 runs pretty great on it.

JFTR the X220 does not have a 13.3" (that would be the X1 or X301 iirc) but 12.5"

You are correct, sorry I was thinking about the Air.
