Aside from the SSD, not really.

The RAM is soldered and there's no RAM slot, so it's not upgradable.

EDIT: WiFi can be upgraded from 5 to 6E with the Intel AX210 (do not get the AX211).

In addition, you can swap in the glass trackpad from an X1C6.

There aren't many screen options. If you have the FHD touch, that's about as good as it gets, unless you want to start cutting your bezel plastic. Then you can go 13.3" and upgrade to 400nit displays.

The X280 is still very performant, just make you update the thunderbolt firmware, make sure it's got a new battery and you are good to go.
