    Currently, I own a x220t which is my daily and a t420s which I gave it to my sister since it has crappy tn panel and I replaced the dead partly dead motherboard (2520m + nvs4200m) with one that doesn't has the dedicated gpu.
    I'm sure some of you have heard of the modded thinkpads from china. I was wonder which modded one I should get.

    x230
    - i7 3612QE
    - sharp 2k panel

    t430
    - i7 3632QM
    - nvs5400m 2G
    - auo 2k panel

    I'm using the laptop for graphical work, photo editing, some light video editing and other stuff that I know the cpu itself is capable to handle. The only problem here is will the HD4000 be able to handle the heavier tasks or I should get the t430 for the extra performance? I don't play games on laptop. What do you guys think?
