I'm still researching but Lenovo informs me they've got a sale on right now http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x260/ I recommend the X260 as good value with decent specs. The carbon is attractive but expensive. Please check your pricing yourself, I can't guarantee what I've sai

Thanks Paul. I checked out Lenovo X260 and X1 Carbon. X260 much better value. Sellers obviously restricting models to 8GB and forcing you up the processor and feature / price line to get 16GB. I prefer 6i5 processor because 6i7 takes more power and heat but I want 16GB RAM. I can't see how Lenovo
