got my thinkpad x62 motherboard today. This shit kicks ass.

This x62 has an intel i5 engineering sample cpu, 8gb ram, 64 gb ssd (sata III), usb 3, display port, 4:3 1024x768 ips, and an 8 cell battery.

totally, you just wont be able to use the touchscreen haha

>>60937360
it already broke a long time ago along with all the buttons on the screen, shit adhesive leaked out and shorting/gunked up evrything

>>60937331
lol I bet you use 16:9 and think its more but the resolution is proportionate to the relationship between these numbers. You have to take the second number as the numerator and the first as the denominator. So you have 9/16 which is less than 3/4 its pretty fucking simple. 1/1 is best as it is a perfect even resolution so you get maximum definition

god sometimes I really fucking wonder why I'm still on this site

>>60937372
RIP. x61 tablets are great machines. The stock IPS looked so good zomg

>>60937229
I've used a friend's and it's pretty nice. Considering getting a pre-converted kit as a travel laptop.

I can show you a slurry of modern laptops that have 1080p that you can get for $500, or less. Not 4:3, but they're good enough for most, complete, and they won't do Chinese callbacks every few minutes.

>x61 upgrades
meh, x40 was the best thinkpad ever made

>>60937394
The guys is telling you that for example 4:3, is an aspect ratio, not a resolution. Maybe you should stick around a little longer. Learn something.

I'm quite happy with my librebooted UXGA T60. I really don't trust how long these motherboards will last.

>>60938004
The optimal ratio for the detailed part of human vision actually slightly wider than 4:3, not taller. 3:2 is too wide, however, and vertical space is generally more important than horizontal for reading text.
I believe the best easy approximation is Ax paper which is sqrt of 2 by 1.

Not stock. The German Thinkpad forum has a mod for restoring full tablet functionality.

>>60937229
Did anything ever become of that widescreen mod for X220? Or a mobo mod for it in general?

>>60941427
By widescreen mod you mean FHD? There are multiple options available for that atm.

>>60941836
Actually, there was a solution that created a custom housing for what I think was a Dell XPS 13 screen and fitted it to x220,giving it super thin bezels

>>60941427
Just the widescreen mod only. 13.3-inch Sharp IGZO 1920x1080 matte panel, the same one used in Dell XPS 13. In order to do so they have to custom make screen bezels, display cable and WiFi antenna cables, as well as making modifications to the X220/X230 screen cover.

They did have preorder for this but that was 10 months ago and don't have any update about it now.

this seems like the right place to ask: can i get another touchpad for my x230? the stock one is unusable

>>60937229

>Do you also use metric and write dates in DDMMYY?
Yes, actually. It's not for the sake of feeling special, it's doing what makes sense. I see no reason for the US to have its own style of spelling, so I don't use it. SI units simply make more sense, so I use them. DDMMYY has the different units of time in order of size, again making more sense, so I use it.

I put my 4:3 IPS in myself. Had to do some sketch level soldering, but it works. You could also drop in a higher resolution IPS screen from an x61 tablet. If it fits, you can make it work basically.

its called aspect ratio, Arjun.

so uh, how do you buy a modded motherboard for a 14" T60? i can't really browse their website

also, are these gooks just catering to a foreign audience, or are chinese people also infatuated with classic thinkpads like us?

>>60945676
Not really meant for the foreign audience, almost all of those guys selling these projects are either from China or have connections. Your best bet is waiting or using a Taobao agent.

They do like thinkpads, it's just that if they want to mod or upgrade their thinkpads they do something about it instead of shitposting in 4chen like us.

>>60943344
>trusting muricans

>>60937340
What are their margins like if it's an onboard CPU and being shipped with RAM? Do you still have to jump through hoops to get it from a middle man?
