I'm using a Thinkpad X230 - and I'm pretty much a happy camper with it as a mobile computer. I'm willing to trade off screen size with portability whenever I need to be mobile, but keep it connected to my large monitor and a wireless keyboard and mouse whenever I'm on my desk.
I'm happy to report I've had no issues with it, just like with my previous ThinkPads. My concern is what I'm going to replace it with when I retire it since I don't like what they did with the X240 - and I'm afraid the next one will be something close to that. *Erwin Olario* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - » email: erwin@ <[email protected]>*n**gnu**IT**y**.**net* <http://ngnuity.net/> | [email protected] » mobile: (PHL): +63 908 817 2013 » OpenPGP key: 3A93D56B | 5D42 7CCB 8827 9046 1ACB 0B94 63A4 81CE 3A93 D56B On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 10:49 PM, GMDumlao <[email protected]> wrote: > @drexx > Ever since the IBM - Lenovo buy-out I knew that could only have been a > portent of things going south <sigh> > > Tsk, I was a big fan of Thinkpad, have a collection of G's, R's, T's and > X's meself, (was the nub's non-technological innuendos at fault? ;) but > then IBM's options continuation program just doesn't cut it anymore.
