Still have one. Still an amazing machine. And still performing quite nicely despite being more than 10 years old by now.
The only limiting factor is the iGPU, which is way too old even for 1080P playback and DX10-level features.
I wish there were any expresscard-sized video cards available, even an heavily downclocked current-day mobile chip would be good enough and within the termal and power requirements of the integrated port; The x220 is fully capable of deactivating the internal video card and sending the signal from the pci-express bus to the integrated display when it detects a discrete one, I've tested it with no issues using an nvidia 750GTX ti and a pci-express adapter.
