I'm still in love with my x201s, the x220 predecessor. It was 16:10 and could have a super high res of… 1440x900, a rare thing in such a small format for the time. These small thinkpads were solid as hell, packed with I/O. Perfect keyboard. You could set it with a 90Wh battery. For a 12" laptop. Haha. Screen quality, speakers, touchpad were all garbage but oh well. So much other stuff was perfect. Good times.

I love how the keyboard looks barely contained in the x201, with the minimal bezel needed to provide structural integrity.

I have both an x220 and x201 and while the former is a better machine, the latter look nicer to me.

totally agree :)

I've been looking for one of those for some years now. In $JOB-1 I had 2 colleagues who were X200 fans and one of them told me about it (and bequeathed me his docking station when he left).
