The thing that is eating me about this, the 5th gen of core processors are looking to bring major improvements for laptops. I was hoping to put off a new laptop 6-12 months for those to roll out. Buy then, and ride that hardware for another 4 years.
Ultimately I've decided to order an x140e. It's not expensive, it uses the same chargers, fits in the same bag I own, I'm getting mildly upgraded specs across the board with the exception of screen res. It's not a step backwards. And it will have re-sale value in 6-12 months if what I do want comes to market.
I've taken to having both a "full" laptop and a netbook (W530 and x120e, currently). I find having the small laptop to be super convenient. It's what I take of vacations, road trips and so on when I don't need the power of the main laptop. -- Digimer Papers and Projects: https://alteeve.ca/w/ What if the cure for cancer is trapped in the mind of a person without access to education?
