Great writeup, looking at basically the same models currently and this helps tremendously!
So you are using a second monitor over USB3 ? Whats your experience with it ?
- ximeng 14y agoThere's a guy in my office with a USB 2 to 1080p VGA adaptor which seems to work fine, at least for basic web / office app usage. It's just a generic unbranded piece of kit from a local computer store. I wouldn't get a laptop with less than 1920x1080 display personally. Prefer 8GB ram for running VMs as well.
- kami8845 14y agoThanks. Always happy to help. That was the result of 3 days full-time (~16 hours / day) research, so it was good sharing instead of letting it rot among my "Sent items". I'm actually starting at my new job today (in 11 hours). So the jury is still out on what the machine is like. The X220 has a DisplayPort and VGA out, so no need for driving monitors over USB.
