12" vs 17" or X220 could be 2nd screen to my W700

Well, I recently bought x220:


Now just waiting for missing keycaps, but had also missing ram, hdd with assembly, battery, power supply, and oh, broken power connector. But bought for less than $150, with i7-2520m & 3G, so price was good. Got it complete under $270 equivalent, with 8gb ram, 9cell battery and 128G SSD.

The whole fun is that I previously used w700... and still have it. And x220 is literally half of w700 size. A picture is worth thousand words:


Or even two pictures


I had a thought about gluing x220 to w700, and using is as poor man's w700DS with software like SpaceDesk

Oh, and older (unrelated) picture I did some time ago, featuring T400, 600e and IIRC 390

LOL, are those Pentium / Windows 98 stickers?

Great photos! It is fun to compare ThinkPads to the W700/1, especially since some models are surprisingly thick as a W700.

Yep, T400 is history now, but currently I can compare x220, R400, T61 15.4" and W700. It's funny when you realize that each of them is bigger (in depth) exactly by size of extended battery.

When I bought W700, I've written article about it, with photos comparing it to T400 and 600, article (in Polish) and photos can be found there (hope it's not against forum rules)

Yes, you got the joke

[Tasurinchi]

lol!

I knew I had a similar pic somewhere, this time a 240, 10.4" against 17"

[Temetka]

Is that a 240Z? I've always wanted one of those.

[Tasurinchi]

Nope, just a "plain" 240
