Hi everyone, So it's been a long time ;-) (Last visit was: Thu Jan 15, 2009 10:29 am) but that's mainly due to the fact that my trusty x61s has never failed me yet (even though the battery is good for perhaps 20 minutes and the adapter only works if the cord is not stretched to much :D ) But it's g...

Actually, I believe the X220 uses the battery as a power regulator/filter (cheaper and simpler this way). At the maximum load of ~50-55W (I tested using Intel Burn Test and FurMark at the same time then grabbed readings off AIDA64), good regulation is essential, which is why the X220 gets limited wh...

Use something like AIDA64 (previously Lavalys Everest) to read the screen model number. The IPS panel on my X220 Tablet is the LG LP125WH2-SLB1, and I believe its shared with the normal X220 and the new X230 lineup.

I can go with 6205, is this what...

How much does the IPS screen itself( a good one) actually cost as I am planning to have one fitted if price worth. The screen in question: LG LP125WH2-SLB1 (data pulled from my X220 tablet with IPS) From amazon, 65USD+shipping: http://www.amazon.com/LG-LP125WH2-SLB1-LAPTOP-SCREEN-Replacement/dp/B00...

I have X220, 1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card Adapter, is it worth buying this router: http://www.amazon.com/RT-AC66U-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC1750-Gigabit-Router/dp/B008ABOJKS/ref=pd_cp_pc_2 or should I save my money and get this router: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OUKZZI/r...
