Thinking of Buying an x260. Talk me out of it.
get an x220/x230 off ebay or something it's so much cheaper and will probably do just as well at what you want it to do
>>57634682
Already have an x230. Want something newer.

>Talk me out of it
Why? Nobody cares what you spend your money on, loser.
>>57634693
then why the fuck are you asking? I don't see how it will help you at all besides maybe a bump in screen resolution
I'm right with you. The only thing keeping me is the possibility of a newer version with USB type C ports.
Enjoy the 1366x768 display and price tag

>U cpu
won't it be, like, 10% better than x220's i5-2520m at best?
>>57635997
More like 50% with using 400% less power
>>57634654
You could wait until January to see how they'll fuck up X270.
If build quality is anything like the X250, stay away.

Keyboard feels really cheap

I got an X250 from work before the 260 came out. Is a great machine albeit a bit small for every day use as your only machine. you really want to use an external monitor with it if you use it mostly in one place.
>>57636726
there's 1080p.
>>57634724
battery life is gr8
>>57635662
700 isn't that bad
>>57636901
just like yore mom
>>57634654
i just bought one last week.
i'm so excited for it.
it's pretty much a perfect development machine. i expect to use it for at least 5 years.
>>57637108
>perfect development machine
12.5" screen
12 or 17 it makes no difference
>>57636016
Bullshit. 10% at most. Imperceptible in practice. OP is wasting his parents' money.
>>57637233
some of us actually leave the house and don't want a fuckhuge laptop+bag to carry around.
>>57636901
>never used a modern thinkpad keyboard
They are far better than anything on the market right now

X260 has a crazy better battery life, an 1080p option, and a newer process with far better integrated graphics.
>>57637351
Even more reason to not use anything newer than a t420 :^)
>>57634654
go for it OP, I just bought myself a X250 (brazilian poorfag).
>>57637233
If it had a 4:3 or 3:2 screen it'd be alright. Small screens are a waste for working if they're 16:9.
