ThinkPad x220 vs x230 vs x250

>>60800790
I prefer the nostalgia of the cute keyboard light instead of a backlit keyboard, so it's x220 for me

>>60801058
b-b-but x230 has thinklight too

>>60800790
X220 has the best keyboard

which combines both?:
>most lightweight
>most quiet/non-hot

>>60801058
I looking into buying a Thinkpad, but I didn't know the x220 keyboard had lights in it. Can you find me pictures of it?
I have no experience besides de SL410 models that we have at work, I thought all Thinkpad keyboards were the same.

>>60801332
newer means botth of those

>>60801400
>Can you find me pictures of it?
are you serious?

>>60800790
I don't know, anon, do you want to spend $175, $250, or $400?
Bonus: if you hate technological progress and cling to old features and ideals, buy the cheap, slow one.

the x220 keyboard does not have lights, there's a little light called thinklight near the webcam that illuminates it

x230 on the other hand comes with a thinklight and/or a backlit keyboard

>>60801441
i dont want mine to get stolen. new features are awesome but cheap price + cheap look = good.

>>60801058
x230 also has the cute keyboard light retard, it isn't backlit

Just got a x230, and its fucking small

>>60804121
it's backlit and also has the thinklight so you can choose either

>>60804229
you don't know small until you have a x120e

>>60804268
oh sorry
didn't know that

x220t master r ace

>>60800790
x200 because you can install libreboot

Well I use x201. Didn't know the x220 is so popular. Any particular reason other than the CPU is a bit better than x201?

>>60806485
This. It's got the swivel swagger

Anyone knows if it's possible to buy an en-us Thinkpad and install a foreign keyboard on it? Will it work? It's way cheaper to import a used Thinkpad than buy one here.

X230 with X220 keyboard

>>60807038
IPS screen option, longer battery life, m2 SSD, much more powerful graphics

X270

I have an x220t with a broken keyboard and underwhelming specs. What SSD, RAM, etc., do I get? I don't want to buy a new laptop. I'd rather upgrade a couple of components and get a new keyboard and battery

Yeah, that's like the third time you posted that story on /g/.

>>60808020
Is there a need for a different kb layout? I swear I don't even know what's my kb layout. Some odd characters.

>>60812315
Theres a letter and a few signs in my localized keyboard that do not exist in en-us keyboards, to type those you need do make unintuitive key combinations, making it a pain in the ass to type long ass texts in them. My current notebook is a Chromebook that I brought from Ameriland and I hate typing on it even tho I'm used to it by now.

>>60807889
>swivel swagger
what's that

>>60800790
X230
>thinklight
>lots of keyboard options ranging from non backlit chiclet to backlit chiclet and even the classic keyboard.
>good cpu with very capable igpu. Randy bridge has house fire igpu that can't run shit and broadwell ulvs, while better than haswell still suck shit compared to Ivy Bridge
>magnesium roll cage
The biggest down side is that the x230 like the x220 has an ass cancer 1366x768 screen with the 1080p screen being almost impossible to get

>>60801058
The x230 has this too

>>60801332
All of these

>>60806485
Enjoy your shit hinge and less battery life

>>60806596
>core2duo
Might as well get the x250 at this point

>>60808020
Yes. Drop in part

>>60810105
Nice meme!

>>60812672
