x220, you need to get an i7 to get a usb3, but the battery life is great, and it's small, and you can upgrade to 16gb ram.
Stick with thinkpad. the 20 series is the last series to offer the classic keyboard. After that, e.g., x230, t430s, you get chiclet keys.
x61, x201, x220. Stick with those. I'd go with x220, but you could even get an x61, and put 8gb of ram in it...it's ddr2 though, so it will be expensive.
- ue_ 9y ago>x220, you need to get an i7 to get a usb3 Are you sure about this? I have an i7 x220 and it doesn't come with USB3. I think I remember having a tough decision between the x220 (USB2 + nice keyboard) on the x230 (USB3 + chiclet keyboard).
- mjhm2539 9y agoYes, I'm certain. I have usb3 on my x220. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X220 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X220 "Three USB ports (of which one is USB 3.0 on the i7 model)" I would check and make sure that you got one with an i7.
- Hydraulix989 9y agoYou can also install a classic keyboard in any 30 series. I have the X220 keyboard in my X230 now. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Classic_Keyboard_on_xx30_Series_ThinkPads http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Classic_Keyboard_on_xx...
