Lenovo Thinkpad X230 Laptop 12.5-Inch Widescreen Notebook Intel Core i5 3rd Generation 2.60GHz Genuine Windows 7 Professional 4GB Ram 320GB HDD Lightweight Wireless Compact Wifi

Don’t even think about buying this. You’re paying nearly £200 for nothing. Scam.

I love this laptop, small and powerful even though it's a bit old for today's standard, it can be upgraded to 16gb of ram easily, and it's also easy to add an SDD and you end up with an even better machine. No recent laptop can beat this keyboard either. The only issue would be the battery, it doesn't last more than 6h, but there's a few better batteries to replace with the stock one if you can find them..

This is my work laptop - she's a good workhorse, very portable and very light. Of course to get the portability I lose out on some features such as a disc drive - but this doesn't equate to poor performance. Like with all my modern devices she is fitted with a third-party SSD and the performance difference to a traditional hard disk is massive.The X230 is the last of Lenovo's Thinkpad range with a decent touch-pad, and the chiclet style keyboard is comfortable to type on. Battery life is good with the standard battery fitted.A great investment for someone who wants performance, reliability and portability in one package.

I got a used one, the listing said it was in "very good" condition and it really was. The laptop itself is exactly as I thought it would be. I bought the laptop to be my portable workhorse and it's looking really suited to that so far. It's not fast, but I haven't upgraded the RAM yet so that's to be expected.

Very good and robust laptop. Works well with MS XP. It is a shame they haven't engineered the x240 in this way.

My Thinkpad x230 is my favorite laptop to date. The main reason is that its great keyboard (really good for writing longer documents), and -- confirming what a previous reviewer already pointed out -- it is the last Lenovo laptop with a working touchpat (all later models that I've tested e.g. x240, X1 Carbon are too sensitive so you accidentally insert/delete/move the cursor).Although plastic, the machine has a rugged feel, and it has all connectivity you want from a machine that travels with you. It's upgradeable (I put 8 GB into mine and a 1 TB SSD), and you can operate it with two batteries, a lighter, smaller version and a more powerful, heaver option that stands out at the back but gives you considerable extra work time. Works great with Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS.Only disadvantages: not as thin/light as a Macbook Air, for example.
