The X220 ThinkPad is the Best Laptop in the World

Repost from OSnews.

FWIW, I don’t agree just because of the screen but it’s still better than anything on the market today.

Agree, but I think the X230 is slightly better as it runs cooler, has a better iGPU, has USB 3 and you can classic keyboard swap anyways :)

I snagged one in decent condition for £60 recently and plan to mod it up when I can, namely:

Quad core/i7-3612QE mod

16G RAM DDR3L/2133Mhz

AVC Fan (quieter/cooler)

X220 Keyboard mod with X220 Palmrest

720p IPS Screen (can do 1080p but that requires soldering)

Libreboot/me_cleaner (already ivyra1ned it).

A new 9 cell battery from Greencell.

Intel AC/AX wifi

A nice 1TB ssd!
