I have an x230t and it's amazing. Core i5, SSD and 16 GB RAM. Plus it has a touch screen with a pressure sensitive pen.

It was like $1200 less than all these computers people are talking about here.

Nice laptop, but unless I'm mistaken, based on google image search, it has exactly none of the features people are interested in T25 for - the keyboard is the modern design, with no separation between function keys, and no Insert/Home/Delete/End quadrant.

I have a T450 which work gave me sitting in the closet - it's also perfect, but I can't get used to its keyboard, and am using my personal T420 and T420s instead. Personal preference :)

you can swap x230/t430 to the x220/t420 keyboard, for what it's worth.

sticking point to me on the X220/230 is that 1366x768 screen, but I believe the X230 can be upgraded to 1080p.

I have an x240, which is okayish otherwise, but I'm quite annoyed that it is the model they decided to try dropping mouse buttons. x230 and x250 both have them, but of course x240 had to be the one I got.
