New laptop

Lately, I have been having to carry my laptop around a lot. And although I’m not that weak, carrying around all those kilos (the laptop itself + all the accessories) is a bit of a hassle, and I was starting to feel a lack of performance. I wanted something new, more compact, lighter, and preferably with a long-lasting battery.

I looked at ThinkPads and Dell’s Vostro range and ended up with the Lenovo ThinkPad x230. I am very happy with the laptop, it is exactly what I wanted: small, light, comfortable, and powerful. I quickly got used to the new island-style keyboard, although I sometimes hit Delete, which is now in the top right-hand corner, instead of Home or End. In the future, I will probably replace the current “classic” hard drive with an SSD and increase the memory.
