@izaya are all their laptops out of your price range? surely there's vendor around that sells used refurbished. if nothing else, can you not order a newer model online?

@locus the operative word was "better"nobody *makes* a better laptop, and that's why nobody will sell me a better laptop.

@izaya depends on your definition of better. but if your current laptop meets your needs, who am i to say it's worse.

@ehproque unless it is better in every way then it is not better and this is why I'm still using a laptop from 2011

@izaya @ehproque an x230 has at least one cpu gen newer ^^'Also there are people that build new mitherboards for the x230 - sadly those are *very* expensive.

@jakob @ehproque but they have a worse keyboard. admittedly you can do a bunch of screwing around with the EC and swapping the keyboards but like, the 2520m is sufficient for my needs
