As long as the tool (laptop) is useful, rock it until it drops.

Quite close to the spec's of my own X220 (i7, 16GB Memory, 256 Samsung Evo SSD (Origanally it had a 160GB Intel SSD), 9cell battery,Centrino 6205 WLAN, 3GS WWAN adapter andquite sure it has 1080p display as stock).
It's in an old laptop backpack collection dust though however.
Regarding the always on power usb port, mine is also broke.

I might need to dig it up and put Ubuntu on it just to see how it goes.

Currently using a X1 Carbon G11 and I will never use any other laptop than a thinkpad (laptop's that can not be delivered with integraded WWAN adapters will forever be consomer products)
