I'm more of a minimalist person, prefer as little clutter as possible.

And why use another keyboard when Lenovo makes the best notebook keyboard out there.

It can never be better then those full size keyboard when come to typing experiance. Also with screen opened in this way, you increase chances of dropping something on it.

Different strokes for different folks!

And if I were to drop something on to the screen, then I deserve it! Haha!

Which mSATA SSD are you looking at?

 

[yukita]

nocti ..... thats the best value i think.

just got my x220 yesterday

just a few thoughts:
~ the new touch pad click button not really so nice to use ... maybe im still not used to it.
~ if i turn on the laptop without using battery. seem it will throttle to 799Mhz only. no matter what setting i use. after i upgrade the bios and use the battery. it run as per normal (not sure its the battery or the bios solves it ... maybe will try it again)
~ lcd really nice... very bright at full brightness setting.

How much are the Nocti mSATA SSD and what size is it?

I'm getting the MyDigitalSSD 128GB mSATA for my X220 @ US$209.99.

The trackpad is 1 big failing of the X220, imo. I hate it so much that I turned it off and I use the trackpoint instead.

And welcome to the X220 club!

Not bad at all... Seems like most mSATA SSDs are within this price range then. Haven't heard much reviews for OCZ's mSATA SSDs.

Hope I can get mine by the end of the month.

i would prefer intel 310 ... but the price on the high side.

if want value, nocti 30gb is the best lol...

Best to get the biggest capacity that you can afford. More space is always better!

I changed both click pad buttons to left click, easier to use this way imo.
