TRADE H: X1C7 W: X220 or X61s
Posted: Tue Dec 24, 2024 10:06 am
I have here a lightly used Thinkpad X1 Carbon 7th generation that I wish to trade for a Thinkpad X220.
This is the only Thinkpad I had bought new, though the flimsy nature has me sweating over it too much that I've moved back to my trusty X220 and wish to pass it on to somebody who wouldn't have such reservations. I had replaced the keyboard (having botched one key and left touch bar button) and base top (had scratched the finish with cuff buttons presumably, though I have already caused similar blemishes to the new one, see pics).
Spec: 7th generation X1 Carbon, model number 20QD002XRT, Core i5-8265U CPU @ 1.6Ghz, 16 Gb RAM, 256 NVMe disk, 4G modem (supposedly, has the sim slot, though I had never used it), camera, thingerprint reader, 1920x1080 display. When closed, there is a 1mm gap between the lid and the base at one corner, though I feel like being extra finicky here. Keyboards are US ANSI, power charger has a EU plug.
In exchange, I'd rather a regular (non tablet) X220, not particular about the specs, base model would be fine, though would prefer it in a good cosmetic condition.
Whoever will add a nice SF paperback (Ballard, Le Guin, Doctorow, etc.) to the x220, will get the spare base assembly (with a spot of missing paint under left palm) and a spare keyboard (one broken key cap and botched left touchpad button). Honestly though, anybody would get the spares, though I'd appreciate a book
.
Shipping from Russia.

Edit: Couple moments I forgot to mention. I had scrubbed all the traces of Windows off, sticker on the bottom, disk partitions and whatever was in EFI NVM is gone. I had it running a UNIX and will install a fresh Linux distro before shipping. And most importantly, the laptop comes from a home free from the crazy ideas sputtered by current political regime in my country.
