Memory upgrades
According to http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Unofficial_maximum_memory_specs it might not be possible to upgrade the RAM further than 4GB.
Tested configuration was 2x 4GB: Corsair 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.5v (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9) on ThinkPad X201 3680-PBG with ID 6QET70WW, BIOS version 1.40 and Embedded Controller version 1.15. I have not checked my model/BIOS yet, but JFYI.
Powersave
Powertop suggested a bunch of tweaks, I listed them at https://gist.github.com/realitygaps/c7d5493b10becd1de873
