Thinking of Buying an x260. Talk me out of it

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

Already have an x230. Want something newer.

>Talk me out of it

Why? Nobody cares what you spend your money on, loser.

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?

More like 50% with using 400% less power

You could wait until January to see how they'll fuck up X270.

If build quality is anything like the X250, stay away.

30%off right now

do it

Why don't you get the Dell XPS 13?

>1366x768 everywhere

refunded and bought OP

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.

there's 1080p.

battery life is gr8

700 isn't that bad

just like yore mom

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.

>perfect development machine
12.5" screen

12 or 17 it makes no difference

Bullshit. 10% at most. Imperceptible in practice. OP is wasting his parents' money.

some of us actually leave the house and don't want a fuckhuge laptop+bag to carry around.

>never used a modern thinkpad keyboard
They are far better than anything on the market right now

le chinese plastic grey macbook clone

X260 has a crazy better battery life, an 1080p option, and a newer process with far better integrated graphics.

Even more reason to not use anything newer than a t420 :^)

go for it OP, I just bought myself a X250 (brazilian poorfag).

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.
