That's a slightly odd name for a store with only one product. Hope to see more in the future:)
~2012 models are most popular - too many compromises in one direction or another when you get newer.
Would this have any real performance benefit over a traditional SSD?
Personally I wish(ed) if there were 2.5” shaped GPU than SSD though
Some of the future mods though look very cool. I particularly would like the Unifying Mod & WHQD mods.
Given it's limited to SATA3 speeds, why not just replace the internal hdd with a SATA3 SSD? My X260 is very happy with a 2tb Samsung drive. I suppose this would be lighter, but we are talking about 50g of extra weight for a 2.5" SSD. Some of the future mods though look very cool. I particularly would like the Unifying Mod & WHQD mods.

NVMe is somehow better in random access performance. Also ThinkPads before X240 has no space to accommodate M.2/NVMe as those machines predates the standard. Personally I wish(ed) if there were 2.5” shaped GPU than SSD though
Semi related, but has anyone used the T420's ExpressCard port for USB3 expansion? I bought a USB3 card [0], but the write speed is only barely faster than USB2 for flash media. (interestingly, the write speed is much faster when uploading an image to my FPGA dev board) [0] https://www.amazon.com/ExpressCard-34mm-Adapter-Dual-Port/dp...

It would be awesome to see more stuff like:
- BIOS with core/libreboot[0]
- mainboard replacement (e.g. to support USB 3) [1]
- better screens [2]
- something to deal with that awful touchpad
There is already people out there doing it and clearly TP's are some of the most used laptops on this planet for a reason so there is a market.
