How to contact lcdfans/cnmod.com

Question / Problem

I am interested in purchasing a X210 with 10th gen intel chipset from here, and I was trying to contact them to no avail. I wrote an email to [email protected] on 2019-11-21, got no response so far. I tried both from my gmail address and from a personal server. Also, if there are any owners of said device, can you please answer a couple of questions?

  • Does it run Linux?
  • How are the thermals? What's the sustained performance under load?
  • Does it charge via the newly added Type-C port?

Contact u/xueyao, they build mods as well and are a lot more responsive. Also payment is easier and safer, no Western Union necessary. I also tried to order from lcdfans but eventually gave up due to the communication and payment issues.

^ this! Went with LCDFans first, but sending cash via western was sketchy at best, and communication was slow. Xue's mod just in general seemed more elegant, he'd always get back quickly (considering Im not in the same timezone) and being able to use PayPal was the icing on the cake.

I don't think that "owners of said device" exist yet. However, it will certainly run linux, and it will certainly NOT charge via Usb-C.

I sent an email to Jacky (lcdfans@) the other day, and I've yet to receive an answer. They said, in October the X210 I bought earlier this year would come with the 10th gen processor, and that delayed the manufacturing process by about two months. I'll wait a few more days and try reaching out again.
