i own four xx20 series thinkpads. One of which has debian with i3wm, the other three dont have anything installed atm. Sue me ik.
xx20 series is the best tbh. The only thing maybe arguably better is x80 series, due to the more modern processors and actual features over the xx20 series. xx40
my w520 with an i7 2720qm or whatever the fuck is it is is genuinely better than any intel mobile cpu that isn't quad core. AND it's socketed.
looking for a cheap xx40s (or p it's whichever one is better i cant remember) just for the completion, as well as an xx80 just to have one with more modern hardware, but my xx20 is everything i'll need in a laptop tbh. I would also like to get an x220 at some point.
naming legend for anybody wondering.
- x - model type, w, t, x, etc
- x - the device type, 4, 5, 2, etc usually screen size related
- n - device model? Release related.
- n - 0, just the number zero, anything that isn't a zero is e waste im pretty sure.
Xx30s are nice with classic keyboard mod
i've heard, but honestly, is there anything interesting about them other than the like 2% performance uplift? And the fact that batteries are only semi-compatible between them. I suppose they might be more power efficient? I have no clue, if you have any knowledge it would be appreciated.
My w520 with 4 cores still smokes anything that isn't like 9th gen mobile in terms of multi core. Thanks intel very cool.
