Man, I want an X220 with newer gen chip in it. The new usb-c side dock solution, worse keyboards, and the ultrabook form factor's thermal properties...

  Well, then you might look into this guy who modifies x200/x201's with 8th gen Intel chip sets. I think this is a good starting point to find more information about it. Its called the x210. http://www.cnmod.cn/x210 http://www.cnmod.cn/x210

    Wow, that looks really cool. Do you happen to know how much they cost?
    • mbrumlow 8y ago
      If I recall -- I was reading the board + CPU was around $450, and you can pick up a x200 for ~$100 and do the mod your self. The price goes up on the x200/x220s the nicer they look, and if they work, but you are looking at a max price of $250 if you don't wait for the good deals.

        Ah, that's actually pretty reasonable. I've been looking for an x220 as a cheap laptop to throw a BSD on and tinker, but was always a bit hesitant due to the old architecture. This would definitely solve that! (I also like that the person in your link is offering a nice display upgrade.)
