Thinkpad X220 or T420?

Used T420 off ebay. So cheap

x220 for god tier battery life and portability, you can use m sata drive and standard hdd or ssd. Look for IPS screens only
t420 it's not bigger but makes up for a really nice/cheap desktop replacement and you can have two hdds. Also check on the screens. Both cases avoid TN panels like the fucking plague.
Both machines let you use eGPU if you need/want to.

Not op but what is considered a decent price range for T420 with i5 and 1600x900 screen on ebay?

>>57633435
189.99

>1600x900
Is this an IPS panel or are there 1600x900 TN panels being sold?

T420 only comes with the option of TN panels. You can do third party mods but they are not for a beginner as it needs logic board modifications.

the X220 had the factory option of an IPS although it isnt an amazing IPS panel, at least not compared to what you get today.

Oh. Thank you. The FHD mod+panel costs like 150$ for the T420. It is possible on X220 too but more difficult.

T520

It depends on your needs. If you need something portable gaet the x220,want a larger screen? t420 it is. And stop beeing the special snoflake who has to make a thread for this question instead of just asking /tpg/
