From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

x230 with x220 keyboard also is pretty nice - but unfortunately no longer suitable as main notebook. As nothing useful came out of lenovo after that, others are even worse, nobody has a decent trackpoint and sensible amount of RAM only exist for macs I ended up with one of those for work few months ago.

Give me the OLD CHASSIS and the OLD KEYBOARD and make every other component new. I'd be in heaven. I would totally love an absolutely up-to-date x220. And I don't mean a razor-thin one. I mean a thick one that I can hold in my hand comfortably.

I don't know if they still do this but the old chassis would actually survive a drink bring spilled on it because it siphons it around and through the motherboard and out holes in the bottom. They also outperformed pretty much everything else on the market that wasn't specifically a rugged laptop for durability.
