In this video, we install the Intel 7260 WiFi + Bluetooth card in the X220. You need to have the Whitelist BIOS mod installed for this to work. Please see my video below to complete this step first. https://youtu.be/jsCfFOywZs0
This is that project I had mentioned in previous videos. Hope you enjoy.

In this video, I conduct a very unscientific test that in the strictest scientific sense is flawed, but I believe shows that the screen wobble is well within reasonable limits and does not impact the use of the device for desk work.
Due to centripetal force, levers and mechanical advantage, the further toward the top the pressure is applied, the greater the impact. This is seen in the variances in the footage recorded. (Top screen touches have a greater impact on movement, etc)

Today I try the July 2019 production Vertical Surface Dock kit from https://www.verticaldocks.com
This is probably the most exciting addon I've seen for the Surface Book 2 since the Surface Pen. You can get yours from the link above. For everything else featured in this video, please see the links below.
*Note Regarding the Fit: The ToastMade skin I have messed with the fit, that is not a fault of the original design. I am getting some prototype parts sent my way to see how to better accommodate skins and other accessories that might change the thickness of the stock machine. If you have none, then it fits like a glove.

Today we take a look at the Education line of ThinkPads. Budget built machines that provide ThinkPad quality at a reduced cost for educational institutions. Designed to work with Ubuntu as well as Windows. Definitely built with budget in mind, but still packs a lot of what makes a ThinkPad great.

Notice: This is not a sponsored video, just an introduction to a tool that I found online while trying to solve a problem. I will keep you updated as I use the tool with any new information.
One Commander is one, of a possible many tools that helps you browse folders in a way that some of you might miss from OSX. It is not quite as nice to navigate, but is equally if not more powerful in terms of its customization and features.
This isn't an endorsement, but I do support the development of independent software companies and would like to give them the spotlight.
