Happy Birthday ThinkPad!

Not a fan of their customer service, but my little X121e is the best laptop I've ever used.

What do you compare it with? I have one too (but currently dead due to infamous reset loop bug) and I think it is the worst ThinkPad I have owned. The screen is horrible, lackluster build quality and fit'n'finish, so so Linux support and the underside of the keyboard needed to be stuffed with cardboard to type properly. Given the budget price point I don't think it should carry a ThinkPad label at all, it tarnishes the brand.

Edit: I have the AMD Fusion, not the Intel variant.


I have the Intel variant, as I understand it the fusion is a little bit worse. I compare it to various laptops from the likes of Samsung and Toshiba I've had. I'm not calling it the best in the world, just the best I've used. I like how easy it's been for me to mod it too. It is however my first ThinkPad. Others may be much better.
