New Toy on the way... 😉

Wanted a smaller and lighter laptop for travel. I usually take an ipad mini tablet, have various laptops of assorted vintages but all a big larger and fragile.

Searched for an HP Elitebook 12" model, similar to my everyday workhorse 15.6" one, but not luck finding stock.

Worked on this yesterday, even drove out to nearby city to check a possible open box, sold out.

Today I got lucky, found a nice Thinkpad X230, very reasonable price, top quality and the lovely design I have enjoyed for years.

So, clicked the buttons, and it should arrive in a couple of days, next week. Yes!!

This is an off-lease, business class laptop. A good review here: https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-x230

The store I purchased from had some other excellent similar models, in larger sizes, some with great configurations.

With a new SSD upgrade, if they have old style hard drives, these machines are wonderful. Mine is coming with 8 GB of ram, and a 120 GB SSD, so storage is already cool.
