    Someone is selling a CTO x220 that I'm considering purchasing. Before I pull the trigger I want to be sure of what I am getting. The spec sheet has the following specification that I can't decipher:

    0A69638 SBB 12.5HDLDBCLTDPYMOBBRBNRDAN
    Which screen is that? 2x2 or 3x3, IPS or standard TN?

    44C7950 SBB INT WRLSSWDAREANTWRK UPGR
    Which WLAN intel those that correspond to?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Maybe you can ask the seller? It should be fairly easy to find out just by looking at it (if you have had prior experience with modern Thinkpad screens). From Google, it does appear to be 2x2. Results do not indicate IPS BTW.

    No clue about the WLAN, again, easiest to ask the seller (he/she was the one that configured it right?).
    EDIT: Try asking for the serial number. You may be able to look up on the config in 'lay mans' terms here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/partslookup/partsLookup.vm

    FYI, product number will not work since it is a CTO (configure to order) system.

    Good find edit1754. The screen definitely is 2x2. The addition of a webcam eliminates the 3x3 option. IMHO, I'd rather have 2x2 + webcam. But the important part is that it is indeed TN.

    That was the laptop I was looking at. Haha. I didn't ask the seller because they can take forever; eBay can be a real crap shoot.

    I figured as much, but I wanted to make. Thanks all for the fast and friendly responses!
