Get a thinkpad

  Lenovo haven't made a decent thinkpad in multiple years now.

    X61T was the pinnacle for me.

      I have a X201, what am I missing? https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/ThinkPad_X61_and_X200s.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/ThinkPad...

        looks like you're missing a decent operating system.

        Higher resolution 1400x1050 4:3 screen, instead of 1280x800 widescreen. As a programmer I like large wide screens, but when it comes to laptops, I prefer 4:3 screens because I never have enough vertical screen estate. The 16:10 screen in X201 was still usable, but with X220 they switched to a 16:9 1366x768 screen. This killed the X series for me. Nowadays they have higher resolution screens (still 16:9 though, which is stupid, because the vertical display bezels are huge, they could have put a 16:10 display there easily), I have a 1920x1080 X250. However, it's not very good. The pixel density is too high so you can't use in 1:1 mode, but it's too low to be used in retina mode. I need something like 1.33x scaling, which Linux doesn't do very well.
