The search will be fun, there are so many variations on the x220. Not just the several options originally available, but the ones we use were customised.
We only chose 2 customisations: enabling of the 3G chip and the IPS display.
But still... there's a hell of a lot of choices that people could've made when ordering them originally. So you need to do extra work to figure out what you're getting when finding them on eBay.
Damn fine machines though, and I love the Lenovo warranty. We're 3 years in and they fully replaced a motherboard, and the base plastic for us last year. Nothing had failed... it was my fault for tripping over the cable and sending it across the room. The laptop still worked, but the power socket became a little loose and so Lenovo replaced the motherboard and the bottom of the case to make sure it was good again. £40 that extended warranty cost us, and that was next-day on-site... and yup, they turned up next-day, to my 19th floor flat in West London. Awesome stuff.
