Nah, it has a crappy chiclet keyboard.
I have both i5 and i7 X220s. The i7 has USB3 and 16GB of RAM, plus dual SSDs, and it remains 100% usable today. I just wish it had a slightly higher-res screen. I'm perfectly happy with the colours and the viewing angles, but it's a bit cramped, which is one reason I still use Unity.
- segfaultbuserr 3y agoI said "an EC firmware hack is available for interchanging keyboards and batteries" for a reason. X220's keyboard works nearly perfectly on the X230 with this firmware hack and a slight hardware mod (insulating two LED power contact with masking tape). You can also bring your existing X220 monitors and batteries to the X230 during the upgrade.
- lproven 3y agoOK, conceded. I looked into it. I also looked at a keenly-priced X230 from a friend to do it to. I decided, reluctantly, too much work and too difficult. I like my X220 as it is and I have a to-do list so big I will die before I make a dent in it. Life is too short for customising laptops.
