WTB or Trade: W520 with Quadro 2000m

#1 Post by RMSMajestic » Wed May 04, 2016 10:10 am

As in the title. I've recently got a W530 with Quadro k2000m from a forum member, but just discovered that lenovo sux to no end.
Therefore looking for a W520, which is the last thinkpad workstation with the traditional hotkeys.
I don't mind CPU, since I can change it. It's just the Quadro 2000m that I really need, as Quadro 1000m is barely more powerful than the FX880m/V5700 in W510/W500

Prefer screen in perfect condition, also would prefer a W520 with both color calibrator and fingerprint.

Can exchange my W530 with i7 3740qm for it, or pay in cash

There is now a bios mod to enable nearly full classic keyboard support in the xx30 line. All keys work except for Fn+F2 (Lock), Fn+F3 (Battery), Fn+F12 (Hibernate) and Fn+Space, which can easily be mapped to other keys. hamish is currently working on getting them finished.

Swapping in a classic keyboard is pretty easy and I have a tutorial in my sig.

That mod is great!!!!
But keyboard is only one of the reasons. lack of esata is also important for me. Also I can use coreboot to upgrade W520 to IVB CPU
Easiness of flashing whitelist removed BIOS is also one of my concern
