Return of the Nerd

Post by shedyed »

Was fairly content with running live sessions of Mint on my Thinkpad Carbon. Made a mistake in partitioning, and I figure a fresh approach will get the job done.

Until I got this X220 from some guy on ebay. Swivel screen, pen and touch display, the whole 9 yards. And the legendary keyboard-with-red-center-nub, in that compact form that their keyboards were famous for, not the newish island keyboard layout.

Before Yoga, before Carbon, before Lenovo, I had my X41. Now, it's back, and upgraded.

Thanks, mate! The slight difference would be the heft between the two. If the X220 were the equivalent of Mercedes' AMG line of 2-door roadsters, the X41 would be the 560 SL of days gone by. (But no complaints here; the newer version feels like it could stop a bullet :wink:

I should apologize to the Carbon; it will soon be encased in glass with the words Break glass in case of emergency I think one will be for future road trips, or a stunt double. I mean, like, what can't the X220 do? I better stop now, my bias is showing

It would probably also be suitable for hand-to-hand combat.

I was wondering why I always say XJ220 instead of X220. I KNEW it from somewhere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPrJYNFURKU
