i don't like to rep the x220s much because i don't want their prices to go up in ebay/craigslist/etc...

but it would be nice if we had good aftermarket hardware support, so maybe this is a fine time to rep.

my x220 is a delightful experience. awesome mechanical keyboard and (with SSD & 16gb ram) pretty snappy on all the websites i need it for.

perfect for all kinds of non-javascript coding, and handles webpack acceptably well.

The keyboard isn’t mechanical (in the same way that a Cherry MX switch would be) but they are absolutely wonderful for a laptop keyboard.

The enormous Esc key seals the deal.
