There's also this X220 motherboard on ebay with i7

So if you can get a good X220 laptop with i5 CPU, then physically swap the motherboards (which is a good amount of work).

Thinkpad x220 (from 2011) with modified red thinklight, seen many places and still going strong. Compare this to your yearly 'macbook subscription' :)

Pitting Windows against Windows:
"Six Lenovo ThinkPad X220 laptops were used in the test, featuring a Core i5-2520M CPU and 8GB of RAM, with a 256GB hard drive — running the latest versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11."

Jeśli ktoś chciałby rozstać się z #ThinkPad #x220 i7, to ja bardzo chętnie nabędę. Może być bez RAMu, dysku i baterii, aby sprawny.
Also, poszukuję #ExpressCard z #USBc

Thanks all! Just ordered a refurbished #t480s. Hope it’s better than the terrible X220 that’s sitting in a drawer. It has an IPS display, so can’t be worse than the TFT on my #x220. 🙂 I’ve got 30 days to try it out, so that’s good.

Breathing new life into a classic! ✨ Just installed Linux Mint 22.1 "Xia" MATE Edition on my trusty ThinkPad X220, and the results are incredible. This combination is a match made in tech heaven, delivering snappy performance and a super user-friendly experience. If you've got an older laptop gathering dust, consider giving it a powerful upgrade with Linux Mint!

When I decided to backup the main configuration of my FreeBSD laptop — I found nothing more interesting than to write a new blogpost about it :dragnloaf:
While writing it, I read the FreeBSD Handbook for the nth time and found some little nuances about USB tethering, X server configuration and so on 🙂

@sumpfsuppe If there is an original keyboard, not an AliExpress sold one, then there are a lot of useful things for repair shops / masters: red nub, trackpoint module itself, key caps and the plastic mechanisms under it.
Especially the caps and underside plastic details — when I broke some keys on my Thinkpad, I found that these details are differ between keyboards. One use in the original keyboard with US-layout, another with UK-layout, etc.

Bevor ich sie in die Kiste für den Wertstoffhof werfe:
Hat jemand Verwendung für diese defekte X220-Tastatur? Hab sie ersetzt, weil u.a. die Leertaste nicht mehr zuverlässig funktioniert hat.
Keine Ahnung, ob da noch was zu retten ist. 🙈

I have used VA-API on #FreeBSD with #ThinkPad #W520 or #X220.
Check 'UPDATE 5 – VAAPI and Tear Free on Intel Cards' from here:

My Thinkpad died same time ago. I bought another one with defects but working motherboard. Swapped the board and it works as new!
Now configuring my developer platform to have DOS/XP :)

Help me understanding x220 laptop batterys please.
- Battery reported bad by tlp and KDE with low capacity letft.
- Opened battery to bring one pair of cells (parallel) back up to 3,85 V like the other two pairs.
- Battery kind of good again 50% capacity. (4 hours reported yay!)
- Recalibrated with tlp so discharge until "empty"
- Empty seems to mean this capacity value calculated from the inboard chip?
- Voltage of "discharged" battery combined ca 11V, expected like 10V at least. (Full is at 12,5V ish reported by tlp)
Wouldn´t it make sense to discharge to 3,3V per cell then charge it back up and calculate the capacity from that process instead of stopping anywhere in the middle because that assumed capacity is at zero ?
-> Confuzed

This year, I welcomed a new member of my happy #hardware family – #Lenovo #ThinkPad #X13 G3! ✨💻✨ After long years of dedicated service from my indestructible Lenovo Thinkpad #x220 (it went around the World with me several times and survived plenty of accidents, including falling off the first floor – it continued working like nothing happened), I had to go for an upgrade due to higher software demands. Another Thinkpad was a natural choice. And the good old x220 became my OS testing ground. 🫡️

@amcq I've had really good experiences running #debian and #guix on #x220; #debian, #ubuntu and #arch on #x250 and #t480
#x220 is practically a relic at this point, but still very usable
My daily driver is the #t480, which is eminently user upgradable (likely the last such #thinkpad). I even maxed it out with 64GB of aftermarket RAM

ich habs @luebbermann nachgemacht: Der Umbau war tatsächlich recht einfach und die das Modul hat out of the box funktioniert. Zwar nur 3g aber wenn gar nichts anders geht besser als nix.. #wwan #x220
