@lyncia yep! also i love that the old ones had drain holes in case you spill coffee on it lol
@0x4d6165 i noticed that on my x220 on the bottom, little holes with a pictograph of a keyboard and a water droplet
@lyncia yep! and oo the x220 is a classic! have fun!
@lyncia for me, trackpoints, keyboards, parts availability, "hardware maintenance manual" that details taking it apart piece by piece. also for a little while they had good aspect ratios after everyone else stopped offering them.
They also have had a lot of bios mods made for them for most models to fix some of their shortcomings, also things like libreboot

@lyncia they used to have ridiculously good build quality and they're dirt cheap second hand because business buy them and then sell them as a lot when they upgrade
