I'm sitting this rev out. I bought a i7 X220 ThinkPad for £189, and installed elementary. The thing flies, and will do perfectly well for now… if I ever go back to Apple.
- shocks 10y agoWhere did you buy this?
- gruez 10y agoat that price? probably refurb.
- touristtam 10y agodefinitly 2nd hand. The current model is probably the x260 with their model naming convention. Still an awfully capable machine for the price tag. And much like widely available cars, if it breaks, you either get new parts or get a new one altogether.
- tbrock 10y agoAnywhere, the x220 is a great but ancient laptop at this point. Still runs Linux (or any modern os) well.

- dabernathy89 10y agoI can't bring myself to buy Lenovo after all their shenanigans. I've been looking to upgrade to MBP sometime in the next year, but with these prices, I'm now looking at the XPS 15 instead.
