> I got an x220 jumping onto the hype but it was too small and too slow to use. ven though I'd maxed out the RAM, replaced the solder paste and was running a lightweight i3 environment.

That's my only personal laptop, to the last detail. What are you doing that makes it feel slow?

I might upgrade to a x270 for the USB-C charging and a full-HD display, but only when this one dies. Which might take another decade...
