This has to be my favorite purchase in the last 2 years. The laptop is lovely, it even smells nice. The build quality, the keyboard, the trackpad, the whole thing is so good. The best part is that I paid $300 for something that would last 6 years minimum. A Thinkpad that works for you tops any other laptop out there period.
I did own a thinkpad before, the E14, but I returned it for an Asus Vivobook because the E14's screen was horrendous (TN Panel, I really underestimated how bad the screen would be). Long story short after 1 year of use my Asus laptop busted because of an unfortunate accident while I was travelling. It was completely my fault and I pretty much needed a new laptop alongside my PC. So, I bought another thinkpad but this time it was an educated decision.
just look at her :o
