What configuration options are there for X230?

For X220 and earlier, there are 'Detailed Specifications' pages. X240 I can try to configure in Lenovo Store. However, I cannot figure out what options do exist for X230: it is sold out and cannot be configured and there's no detailed specifications page.

I suspect there are more configuration options than the only one listed in Lenovo store: for one, it looks unlikely to me that CPU can be only i5-3320M and the only screen available is 12.5" HD LED 1366x768. Where can I see the full list of available options?

The X230 was superseded by the X240 and is no longer available from Lenovo. Occasionally there may be one in the outlet store as a refurbished machine.

This may help give you some of the information you need if your looking for X230s.

You might also try downloading the PSREF: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf (9.6MB file)

It lists some of the popular models that were offered. From this, you should be able to tell that the display resolution was fixed at 1366x768, but that there was an IPS option available. Some units came without the camera and some units offered a backlit keyboard.

On that note, do you know the edition of the PSREF or other Lenovo reference that has the specs for the X220?
I haven't been able to find it.
Thanks

Most of the recent "withdrawn" systems are listed in the ltwbook (Lenovo Thinkpad Withdrawn book). Here's an index of all the withdrawn books: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/psrefs_withdrawn.shtml

The one in question that has the X220 is: http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/ltwbook_2013.pdf

It's a fairly big file: 23MB
