X62 questions...
X62 questions...
I know that the X62 boards are no longer being made. Is there a possibility of even finding one of them anymore, specifically i5-gen3 ? I'd also like to know if anyone has tried to, or succeeded, at porting these to Coreboot, like the guy with the X210.

Re: X62 questions...
They are still floating around. There is supposed to be another update version coming this year (perhaps a x63).
Also, I saw a weird hack where someone put a X210 board into a X61. They had to cut out the lefft side and replace that part with a bezel from a x201, but other then that, it i a X61 with a X210 motherboard. Sounds like the dream machine

Re: X62 questions...
How much is a bare X62 board (with heatsink) these days? Recently got a dead X60 from a cousin, its system board had some burnt components between the top of the WLAN slot and the HDD bay. 

Daily driver: X220 4291-C91 i7-2620M
Backup: X220 4291-P79 i5-2520M
Toy: X60F Core Solo U1300
In pieces: two retired but working X61Ts
RIP: 760XD 9546-U9E; X61 7676-A24; and a BOE-Hydis HV121P01-100 in failed SXGA+ mod

Probably more then you should spend. You can contact Jacky through ebay -- seems to be the only way to get a response. Jacky doesn't seem to respond via email.

Re: X62 questions...
The X62 board, bare or not, is 90% of the cost of a full X62 machine. At this point, most boards in circulation will have made it to machines already. Furthermore, I think the cost to obtain a full X62 machine has probably exceeded it's true worth, since most people with them wouldn't be willing to part with them, though I can't speak for everyone. I can't image using an X62 on a stock 1024x768 either, as the low resolution would take away all appeal that I would have for otherwise modern specs.axur-delmeria wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 10:57 amHow much is a bare X62 board (with heatsink) these days?

Re: X62 questions...
There was a 5th production run in Dec 2018, so there is a fresh supply of boards circulating around. Jacky is actively selling boards and systems. But I would suggest at this point holding off on buying a X62 board since a X63 was supposedly being released within the first 6 months of 2019.SynbiosVyse wrote: ↑Tue Feb 12, 2019 8:08 pmThe X62 board, bare or not, is 90% of the cost of a full X62 machine.

Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.
The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Re: X62 questions...
Wow they LITERALLY stitched an X61 and X201 body together, wow.
The X63 is basically an X62 with an extra M.2 slot. It supports PCI but not the SATA lanes.
They've also merged the sound card with the main board.
