I bought a lifetime supply of x220 parts on ebay. Since Moore's law has failed since they came out, newer machines would be a downgrade on every front except the screen.
- dorfsmay 7y agoThe reason I got a new one is for the ability to add more memory, but newer machines use way less energy (smaller battery or longer life on one charge).
- scottlocklin 7y agoThere's a few lenovo machines which are faster (xeon chips) and you can stuff them with memory, and as I said, the x220 screen leaves something to be desired, but for now, the keyboard kind of wins over these factors. The big battery is pretty good; lasts all day, assuming I'm not compiling browsers.
