First for the libreboot project is dead and you will never have a fully free T420.
How good is a X201 Tablet with 4GB of RAM and an [email protected] for $180? Keep in mind I live in Europe and shipping is pricy.

they haven't been able to libreboot any i-series cpu as far as I know
Hey tpg, looking for some advice. Need a portable laptop with a long battery life. I was considering Chromebooks but after using a t410 from work I really like the form factor of thinkpads. Is the x230 my best bet? The t420 seems to be the most popular, and the t410 I tried doesn't seem too cumbersome. From experience, am I going to want to kms if I lug a x400 series thinks around?
>>62061226
Well, the t series are big laptops.
>>62061226
The X series is your thing. Get the "s" version if you're really concerned about the weight.

Got an X220 fully refurbished, how much could I sell it for?
320gb hdd, intel i5, 4 gb ram, dual band wifi card
Any guidelines? I am using a x230 and don't need two laptops atm.
>>62061634
220USD, possibly 250USD.
>>62061696
That's pretty rad if true, thanks a bunch man.
