Thanks, I'd forgotten about that option (it was in the news when I was shopping because I think there had been BIOS bugs?). Did you mean WWAN?
I'm pretty sure I got that version though I'm not certain, I have 4286CTO. Is that good? I'm sure there's some ThinkVantage "diagnostic" utility that will be happy to sell me one, but I don't see it. The Lenovo spec sheet mentions an Intel 80GB mSATA drive, is the actual limit higher? And what capacity do people here recommend? I grabbed a bunch of prices from Amazon and Newegg and put them in a spreadsheet, and it looks like (a) they go up to 120GB, and (b) cheapest 64GB per gig seems to be a Kingston at $1.44/GB and cheapest 120/128GB seems to be an OCZ Nocti at $1.89/GB. Apart from brand name, what should I be looking for? For example, there seems to be both OCZ Strata and a more expensive OCZ Nocti. I can read the specs to see the difference but is there something the X220 _won't_ take?
