I have an old x201 that I need to upgrade. Can you share what ExpressCard you're using? Also, did you get a new 9cell? My own 9cell is at 77% tot. capacity and at 90eur for a new one, I'm not sure if it's worth investing in. Oh, and how much battery life are you getting under what distro/desktop? Cheers!
- zxexz 11y agoOh, get a few of these[0]. They are pretty flimsy, but cheap (I've seen them for sale on eBay and various sites like aliexpress for ~20 euro-ish before. They sure hold a charge; I've had 9 hours of constant use before (of course, that was with a highly optimised Gentoo setup and mostly just coding without a graphical environment. I get 6 hours on average). I don't know what expresscard I'm using, but it's an expresscard/54 that has 3 USB 3.0 ports. It's a generic Chinese card, and it works fine. Though, in order to use it to boot from USB you need install libreboot (there might be another way, I'm not sure).
