I use a Thinkpad X220 too.
There's an entire community around getting your Thinkpad the way you want.
One time I had to replace the wireless card and instead of going to a technician or Best Buy I asked in the IRC channel (##ibmthinkpad on Freenode); the people in there gave me instructions and the exact Amazon links for what I needed. It saved me time and money.
