Re: X210Ai is a new motherboard to upgrade ThinkPad X201/200
#22hello,
as always: imho (!)
i own a x200s ... bought it in march of 2009 =?> so its approaching 17 years ...
it was a really great device with one of the best keyboards for a small notebook. and i still use it multiple times a week for example to browse hackernews, reddit, ... or watch some video etc.
buuuut: its nearly 17 years old ... everything is starting to wear - i wouldn't invest a dime into it right now.
what do i mean by that: keyboard has faulting keys, case starts breaking at heavily stressed regions - for example around the cursor-keys -, display is (slightly) mechanically damaged, batteries are beyond usefull etc.etc. ...
just my 0.02€

#23I'm the owner of one of these laptops. I paid like $2-3k or even more for the laptop. The screen got broken almost on arrival. I think few days later it started glitching. It was intermittent, so I thought it would go away. I didn't. Over time it started glitching more and more. I reached out to the person in China who sold the laptop. In broken English he told me that I should replace the screen and sent me a link.…
You paid $2-3k for an x200? Was that a long time ago? Is that the same laptop that's sold by computer recyclers for $100?

#24Currently $1,299.00 for the Ultra 7 and $1,449.00 for the Ultra 9. I won't say it isn't a fair price, but it is a really hard one. It would be perhaps more interesting to start making ARM or maybe even RISC-V motherboard replacements for some of these beloved chassis.
It's not the type of CPU that is driving up the cost. It's a niche hobby product which will sell O(tens-hundreds) units worldwide. The issue with these frankenpads is the brokenness of bios/ec, tb ports, thermals, fan noise, stability, etc.

#25anybody know if this motherboard will fit the x220 or x230, or just the x200/201? i've cornered the market on x220 and x230, i must have two dozen
Won't fit, the X200/201 use a different chassis design to the X220/230.

I'm a bit confused, what do you mean you bought it for +$2k? They cost nothing to buy, they came out like 18 years ago

#27Anyone know if there's anything like this for the Dell Precision M6600? (Or upgrade suggestions for someone who loved that laptop? Framework? Thinkpad?)
Get an x1 carbon gen 13 (lunar lake version) for a general usable laptop. For clunkers/workstations that use desktop style CPUs, Dell still makes them and so does Lenovo. The Lenovo version is P16 Gen 3.

#29What's the integrated video card in this board? I have an x220 and frankly the ancient Intel HD 3000 is the only limiting factor keeping me from still using it as a daily laptop.

You can buy the hardware already upgraded with a new motherboard and screen.
