Would need more qualifiers; do you want a big screen, minimum size+weight, etc?
I just got a "new" Thinkpad T530. It's a two year old model, but the last of the Thinkpads with physical mouse buttons, essential for using the Trackpoint. Got it for $550 with three year warranty after rebates; the specs are comparable to a current model. It takes up to 16GB RAM and supports up to three dedicated storage devices. In general Thinkpads run Linux very well. This was mainly for the larger screen, I saved enough I can wait for a travel computer in early 2015 based on Broadwell.
- whopa 12y agoWhere'd you get a "new" one? I'm in the market for a new laptop, but I'm highly disappointed with the changes made to the current Thinkpad line.

They aren't usually such a great deal (value of unremoved features aside) but the 2392APU I got for an effective $550 is a very good deal. https://www.google.com/search?output=search&tbm=shop&q=t530&oq=t530&gs_l=products-cc.3..0l4.1121.1830.0.2037.4.3.0.1.1.0.299.487.1j1j1.3.0....0...1ac.1.52.products-cc..0.4.491.-UoNTx5imEc#spd=10962619076324271852 https://www.google.com/search?output=search&tbm=shop&q=t530&...
