Happy holidays with X220

It's Christmas 2018 and -10°C outside. Been working with my second hand thinkpad X220 now and I have to say it's amazing machine. From 2011/2012 we get ultimate Linux laptop with i5 and keyboard beyond anything other.

I swapped HDD to 256 GB SSD and plugged in additional 4GB RAM module to make total 8GB available for my Debian 9.6. During these times, I've seen all those 1-2k€ laptops at store but none of them are at this level of comfort and functionality. And now comes the best part, this beauty was less than 200 € and it's A+ grade second hand unit from all aspects. Even battery from 2012 holds charge pretty well, even I am ready to replace that when needed.
