I'm on a Lenovo x220... it's plenty fast for most of my work. runs ubuntu like a champ. has, hands down, the best laptop keyboard that's ever been made. and only cost me $350, plus there's a strong aftermarket parts option.
Since i don't spend my time watching media, i don't have to worry about fancy monitors or display ports (though i could have gotten a Thunderbolt port).
This is a 5 year old laptop. The battery lasts at least 6 hours.
- astrodust 10y agoI'm not denying that these laptops work for people, but the resale value on a 5 year old Lenovo x220 is $0. I'd say it has less value than five year old used underwear, but there's actually a market for that.
- mr_spothawk 10y agoI mean... there's definitely a market for the x220, and it's parts. Take a look on Amazon.
