What about the B50-80 (80LT003C): i3, Intel HD 4400, wifi B/G/N/AC,
Gigabit Ethernet, 2x USB3.
Got some for testing here ( meant to run Windows actually) and had
some minor issues with them and sadly not enough time to look
fully into it. But first impressions weren't that 'impressive'
My x220 is outstanding. The only device that isn't supported is the
fingerprint reader. Also the mSATA slot is great for a second SSD. I
dual boot OpenBSD and Arch (for when I need a Virtual Machine) and
just use the F12 key at boot to select the drive I boot off of. Really
simplifies the set up. Also you can put 16gb of ram in this model
(even with an i5 processor) even though the specs say max of 8gb.
Can only second this, running on an older x220 with an i7 on a fully
encrypted mSATA SSD. Still faster than my coworkers newer kits.
Only thing I had to replace was one battery. Otherwise fine even after
several years of service.
Money on an x220 is well spent. Also they feel more solid than the B50s.
Need to try extending my RAM to 16GB - thanks for the hint Bryan.
Cheers,
Kim
