US$1400 plus ram, plus ssd, plus battery for...
...a bulky, heavy 13" laptop with a horrendously noisy fan, an outdated processor, no bluetooth, no camera when everything is done over video, shitty speakers, shitty 18080p 13" TN 4:3 screen, 6 hours of battery life vs 12-18 in current laptops, and so on.
Fool, money, etc.
- ghaff 3y agoI don’t think your last line is called for. That said, I would hope no one would read this article and think an x220 is actually a good computer for most modern uses.
- rijoja 3y agoI agree, what it is for me is partly a wish for computer manufacturers to create new computers like them! I.e. computers that are up-gradable, sturdy, has multiple batteries, and so forth! Saying that if you mostly live in a terminal with a ssh connection to another machine, they'll do very well! Thanks for sharing the link to them anyway, I at least appropriate it!

- SHY_TUCKER 3y agoI use my X220 i7 as my daily carry laptop when I am away from my home office, and it is lovely. I have a Windows Drive, Linux Drive, I run all kinds of software. I also have a big new 16" Thinkpad and I am almost never tempted to grab it. The X220 keyboard is so much better than any modern laptop keyboard that it would be funny, if it wasn't so sad. Apple came out with the "Chiclet" keyboard and Lenovo literally flushed the Thinkpad brand down the toilet.
