Hi All,
Looking for a laptop since I no longer have my 13" Macbook Pro (donated to family). I was looking at Thinkpads, particularly the T420/T430 and X220/X230 series. Mainly, it would be used for office work, web browsing, some programming/web development, and light gaming (Warcraft III only).
I am also considering the X220T/X230T variants simply for digital art purposes.
I already have upgrade parts available such as the RAM, SSD, mSATA, and OS on hand. I'm just trying to figure out which one would be a good choice for my planned usage. I'm hoping this next laptop would last me at least 5 years or so. Any thing you guys can recommend or provide suggestions on these Thinkpads would be greatly appreciated. Or if you have another suggestion for another brand or line of laptops, I'm open to that as well. My budget is between $300-$500, but I can stretch it further if need be. Also, I don't mind buying the laptop used.
