Let me me to introduce: My backup laptop (ThinkPad X230) . I bought it used on Ebay for 170 € many years ago and upgraded it with an SSD. The idea was to have a laptop in case I break my Dell XPS.

In fact, I used it once.

Otherwise, it just sits in the closet and gets pulled out once a year to serve as a music player at a barbecue. If someone spills their beer on it, it's not so bad.

You prefer a Dell Laptop to a ThinkPad?
Crazy...

@alien my other laptop is better in every regard :D Except for the "swappable battery" thing. Still the Thinkpad is a nice and robust machine!

@thomas I got a similar looking X270 from work, loved the built quality. Even though the screen was a bit too small for me, no other laptop hardware felt so right.
These are all so satisfying.

@GothFvck :D I wanted to try it some day and decided to install it. It's been working fine so far, but tbh I have never driven it to the limit ;-)
