My daily driver is an X230. I bought my offspring an x240 a while ago, and it was terrible: the trackpoint buttons are built into the trackpad, rather than being separate physical buttons, and they're very unreliable. Thankfully, they broke the screen a few weeks ago, and we replaced it with an X270. In terms of the hackability and repairability ThinkPads are known for, it seems like the x230 was the last good one, but at least the ergonomics of the x270 are pretty good.
- amatecha 5y agoYeah, I'm slowly amassing good-condition X230s... I've got two X230 and two X230T ... great machines IMO, even if they aren't perfect they're pretty close! I got a few since I know they won't last forever, but the longer I can avoid using new machines the better. Not a fan of "everything is one single tiny PCB and you can't repair anything" trend of today's systems.
