Some people are a bit crazy and love the X220 enough to attempt a FullHD mod (with custom hardware and rerouting of the external eDP signal/lane internally). Not for the X220T though. A kit was for sale here: https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=122640 https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=122640 Edit: better wording

This warms my heart. The x220 is one of the most oddly aesthetically pleasing laptops I've ever seen.

I actually saw this before and was kind of relieved to discover the X220T couldn't do it, I just know I'd've tried to do it otherwise. It's a remarkably stable Hackintosh though, really regret not buying one 4 years ago. The pen (on windows) is better than I expected too.

You can buy an upgrade kit using the same Sharp screen from the Dell XPS series for the X220/X230. The best bet is to go through a TaoBao agent and buy it from nb51 directly.

  I own an X220. any hint how not to fail when attempting this? I.e. some english writeup that is usable with instructions et al. All the stuff seems to be in chinese only :-/

    I mainly followed some videos on Youtube for the X61/62 like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcaMFkd_xSY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcaMFkd_xSY (this one is for the X220). The X220 is a bit easier since there is a big community following for the HD mod [1]. I'm pretty sure the HD mod started from nitrocaster. Edit: Buy some Gaffers tape too. Much easier to use to tape things down compared to electrical tape. [1] https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=122640 https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=122640

I still have one of these in storage. I did upgrade to an older T-series model before trying to install it. Feel free to email me if you want to have it in exchange for shipping costs (located in Germany).

I bought the kit and the display. I took one look at how tiny I need to solder the thing on and sold them both for $200 lol.
