It's the one with I5-3320M processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 160GB SSD. I really want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM but $$$ has been a little tight lol. Plus I want to add an mSata drive (really wanting to beef the whole thing up!). Plus get the keyboard replaced with a backlit version...

Just updating my original post. I did end up purchasing a really nice X230 Tablet. Currently running CloudReady (Chrome OS) in a dual-boot scenario with Windows 10 (and also Windows 7 inside VirtualBox).

What a great little laptop!

Well, I have an X230T arriving tomorrow so hopefully I'm not too turned off by the bulk of it. Of course if I am, I'm sure I can sell it and there's plenty of X230's (non-tablet) out there.

I'm looking to pickup a refurb'd X230 and I see Newegg carries a number of them. Anyone have luck purchasing from them? How can you tell if you'll get an IPS panel or not? They don't seem to list serial or model numbers anywhere...

I really liked the size and performance of the X230 but really wanted to get a tablet format device Your and my definition of worth may vary, perhaps widely, but I think that's an answer to your question. Thanks (I think lol)... I'm about 95% certain I'm getting an X230T - just waiting for my curre...

Looking for a nice, clean X230. Not too picky about RAM/drives as I can easily upgrade those, but would want at least IPS screen and backlit keyboard. Just want it to be really clean. Thanks.

Very good experience with user swallman for his Thinkpad X230. Shipped very quick and exactly as described. Thanks man!

No problem! Now if I could just find something to replace it LOL! Anyone got a nice X230 Tablet for sale?

So I recently sold my X230 (non-tablet) and have been trying to find a replacement. I really liked the size and performance of the X230 but really wanted to get a tablet format device (mainly for when laying in bed surfing the web, watching media while riding the bus, etc.) I recently picked up a Yo...

Not that anyone on this forum cares lol, but I ended up purchasing a non-Thinkpad Lenovo Yoga 710 11.6" device. I know I'll probably miss the keyboard and trackpoint but this is really just a casual device for me - mainly will be used at home when relaxing on the sofa or when traveling/commuting to ...

I'm in the process of shopping for a 2-in-1 convertible to replace the X230 I just sold. Loved that laptop but really want something a bit lighter and ability to use as a tablet (when taking the bus, meetings etc.) I think I've narrowed it down to either the Thinkpad Yoga 370 (used/refurb'd), or a Y...

Pretty much what the subject line says...looking for a Thinkpad Yoga 370. Thanks

So I've been reading a lot about PWM in many of the Thinkpad laptops. I'm assuming that PWM has been around for quite awhile and just really being talked about now? I'm considering a Yoga 370 and I know it's not the greatest (around 217 PWM below 50% brightness), but I had my X230 (IPS) for quite aw...

This is the part number for the mobo

01HY157

I'm looking at purchasing a used Yoga 370 (model # 20JJS22600). I'm trying to confirm if the RAM is soldered or not...I've looked at PSREF but that specific model doesn't seem to be listed. I do have the serial # if that would help?

Thanks.

any quick pics of the machine? I have been looking into a X230 for some time and like how you have 2 ssd's already installed.

Thanks!

Pics etc are posted here: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3049212522

So I'm in the market to purchase a Thinkpad Yoga...I was looking at the 260 but stumbled on the 370. Looks like the 370 came out but is no longer being sold be Lenovo (although the 260 is still listed and for sale on their website). I'll be buying a used/refurbished model, either on eBay or someplac...

Selling my Lenovo X230 Thinkpad - has 8GB RAM, (2) 128 GB drives (1 SSD, another installed in the mSATA PCI-e slot) 12.5" LCD IPS screen (1366x768) - excellent quality and viewing angles Intel Core i5-3360M CPU @ 2.80 GHz Windows 10 Professional 64-bit (latest version) 9 Cell battery - I currently g...

Thanks...I've got the 9-cell and found pics of it on a mini-dock so I'm good.

Does the mini dock fit/work with the extended battery?

So I'm looking to get a mini dock for my X230 laptop...just wondering what model # I should be looking for? I see a number of them listed on ebay with various options (USB 3.0, dual DVI/Display-port, etc.)

Are they all basically compatible?

Thanks.

Is it bad that I love the my new $175 X230 more than my company issued $1500+ Surface Book? No, my screen doesn't turn into a tablet (but I never use it for that anyways), and I hate the high resolution issues (I connect to tons of other servers all day long and when I switch from docked at my desk ...

So I have my new to me X230 laptop...it didn't come with an OS but I was able to install Windows 10 and upgrade from 7 (using the provided key). So with a clean install, any suggestions on what Lenovo utilities add value (vs. basic Windows 10 stuff)? I've installed the Lenovo Service Bridge and Syst...

Actually I think I have it fixed...I just sort of monkeyed around with the key and suddenly it seemed to pop back into a level position and still working great.

I don't really have an issue with the entire row being higher than the rest of the keyboard. My biggest gripe is that the Esc key isn't level (left side of the key is higher than the right). Any way to level that out? Do the keys pop off easily?

I just purchased an X230 laptop off eBay (with IPS screen)...it's basically in excellent condition but one minor thing I noticed it the top row of keys (Esc, Function, etc.) seem to be slightly higher than the rest of the keys. The ESC key is especially bad, almost looks like its pushed up? The righ...

Ask them to run this program HWINFO or to go into BIOS, where you'll find the S/N on the first page. Thanks...it's a seller on Amazon so a bit harder to communicate with...I've sent them a message hoping I can get the serial #. Lenovo website does list IPS for the model I have but it says the parts...

I'm looking at purchasing a used XPS-230 from someone and they don't have the serial # but do have the model # of 2325-DN3

Is that enough to confirm that it has an IPS panel or do I need the exact serial #?

Thanks.

This thing (X131e) has turned out to be better than I thought...I was able to drop a 128GB SSD mSATA drive into the slot where the WWAN card would go...so I now have Windows 10 installed and booting off that...

Sorry to disappoint everyone but I ended up going with the X131e. However, this is the Intel i3 chip which according to benchmarks is similar in performance to the i5 that was in the tablet. The X131e is a bit heavier but also comes with a larger (6-cell) battery (I know you can get a larger battery...
