Though the X series is supposed to be the easiest to carry.  I have
memories of jogging around Ottawa with an old A-series Thinkpad on
my back, and I was younger back then.

I've tended toward the laptop being for away only, and a proper desktop
machine at home, but laptop performance has gotten up to the point of
making sense as a primary machine, and then there isn't the hassle of
maintaining two systems and the laptop always being woefully out of date
and needing a lot of OS updates and personal file transfers when being
pulled out for a trip.

(Maybe a compute server, or render farm, at home is still an option for
the occasional thing needing a lot of horsepower...)

It looks like the X220 is the last X-series machine from before Lenovo
got silly, and the i7-based models can be had with USB3 for moving data
around.  That last feature is something I don't see on as many current
Thinkpads as I thought I should.
