I am rather happy with that notebook, after having upgraded RAM, SSD and a new batterypack. The opportunity to get some money for it instead of using it until it isn't worth anything anymore makes me look for a new thinkpad. I'd like to keep with thinkpads as I like the overall quality ... Now there are so many variants and additionally it is always the question how the specific device behaves with linux and/or gentoo. Maybe anyone in here has some good recommendation out of personal experience? wishlist: core i5-2xxx CPU >=4 GB RAM any hdd (I will put my SSD in there) ~15 inches of matte display I like that thinklight feature ... though it's not a must ;-) That's about it for a first thought. Thanks, looking forward to any tips, Stefan
