These are awesome. For a long time I’ve thought a 13.3 X thinkpad like the 2X0 series (a proper successor to the x300/x301) would be the best thing ever. You take the x2X0 chassis, renowned for portabiltiy, battery life, and repair ability and shove a 13.3 inch screen in. Just like how the 13 inch class chassis on the x1 has a 14 inch screen.
Well it’s happened: the x390 now exists. Maybe ever better would be a thick X1. Not larger or wider but thicker so the battery life was insane and you could upgrade the ram to 32/64gb.
- jpalomaki 8y agoX390 looks very interesting indeed. Did not at first realize that they have actually put the larger screen to the small chassis. Lack of swappable battery is annoying. Maybe I belong to the minority, but battery life is still one of my main problems with laptops. Just so annoying to have to constantly look for an outlet in meeting rooms or conference places. I guess external USB-C batteries are the way to go.
- driverdan 8y agoThe x390 screen is only 1080p.
- 1986 8y agoI've seen a few people on /r/thinkpad trying to do the former, actually - modifying the bezels on an x2X0 to accommodate a 13 inch screen. One example: https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/akm76s/another_x250_133_mod_in_progress/ https://www.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/comments/akm76s/another_x2...

- tbrock 8y agoNo, that one has stupid large bezels. You don’t get much for the thickness.
