The X2nn series stopped being awesome somewhere between the X220 and X230. The newer ones are dropping to Acer ergonomic and quality levels...
- detaro 10y agoSadly getting a 1080p screen for X220/X230 those is only possible with quite complicated hacks, and getting that is IMHO worth the drawbacks of a newer one. X220t with a modern CPU (but still the old thermal envelope) and 1080p would be basically the perfect laptop.
- pawadu 10y agoX220 has a 12" 1366x768 display which may sound awful but I have noticed that it is perfectly adequate for someone who spends most his time in emacs and tmux. I actually do have a 1920x1080 and a QHD laptop, which I barely touch because neither have the great keyboard of the X220.
- detaro 10y agoMatter of taste then - I recently replaced my X220 (and strongly considered just buying a used one again) and I think the high-res screen outweights missing the keyboard. I just saw some chinese fans sold a series of hacked X220/X230 with retrofitted with the screen from a Dell XPS 13, that sounds like a dream.
