Fuck that unless you can replace the awful keyboard.
>Ubuntu
Ew. Why not just Debian with XFCE?
Asher Gomez
Which thinkpad has a good keyboard?
Carter James
imo lubuntu is better plus it seems easier to just use openbox or i3
because debian is anal
refurbished elitebook

Most of the ones before the X230 and T430.

At least it doesn't spy on you.

Consider the Latitude E6330, it is a similarly spec'd Ivy Bridge machine.
The nice part about Latitudes are parts like WLAN and WWAN cards are not whitelisted or proprietary, so it's a snap to put an Intel AC7260 or a Broadcom BCM4352 WLAN card in, so that you can have AC wireless.
Go to ebay, punch in "E6330 i7", sort by price and shipping, narrow the field to UK only, you've got some good choices, from fixer uppers, to ready to go out of the box.

for 300 arabic dollars you can get an x240, same performance but better battery life, same IPS screen, a better backlit keyboard and people won't point and laugh at you if you use it in public.
Also ignore MUH KLASSIK KEYBOARD fags, it's true that the classic keyboard is nice but the modern ones are still better than the ones on any normalfag laptop, AND most of them are backlit.
