Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
Be excellent to each other.

Repost from OSnews.

FWIW, I don't agree just because of the screen but it's still better than anything on the market today.

Agree, but I think the X230 is slightly better as it runs cooler, has a better iGPU, has USB 3 and you can classic keyboard swap anyways :)

I snagged one in decent condition for £60 recently and plan to mod it up when I can, namely:

Quad core/i7-3612QE mod
16G RAM DDR3L/2133Mhz
AVC Fan (quieter/cooler)
X220 Keyboard mod with X220 Palmrest
720p IPS Screen (can do 1080p but that requires soldering)
Libreboot/me_cleaner (already ivyra1ned it).
A new 9 cell battery from Greencell.
Intel AC/AX wifi
A nice 1TB ssd!
