I consider buying a new laptop in late 2014 ... taxes and stuff ...

I run 2 thinkpads here, each with 8 gigs of RAM and SSD inside:

 L520 and X220 -> both still with Intel Core i-(5|7)-2xxx inside.

So far OK, but not up2date.

Considering a budget of ~1000 EUR maximum (more based on reason) ... do
you have any recommendation from practical experience?

I once had a Macbook Air (1st generation) with gentoo on it, it was nice
because it was slim and lightweight ... a similar device costs 2000
bucks up when I buy it new (Lenovo Thinkpads X... or X1 Carbon).

What I want to avoid is spending quite some money and getting basically
the same weight/size I already know with minor performance gain (which I
get used to within days anyway).

opinions appreciated!

:-)

Stefan
