okay. this is me writing my full, honest review as much as i can, of my new lenovo x230. heads up! this post will be very long, maybe. first, the build quality. for a laptop built in 2012, it's still built really well, and it just works. Everything on this computer feels good and it has managed to last. it feels heavy, but in a good way, it also helps that there's a second battery, which helps for battery life. second, performance. when i first bought this laptop, it had one single stick of 4gb of ram. it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. i proceeded to go ahead and be my robot cannibal self and pulled out two ram sticks out of a laptop that had stopped working, then swapped around the sticks super well. it now has 8gb of ram, with a intel core i5-3320M, with vpro, and a small but easy 128gb ssd, and it being the way it is right now, it's fine, i don't plan on needing to upgrade the hard drive anytime soon. i'd also like to mention, that it originally ran windows 7, upgraded to windows 8 at some point, then i put on my favorite linux flavor, being kubuntu. with kubuntu, it makes good work of what hardware runs inside this machine. i love how simple it runs, both being a tablet and laptop. overall, if i bought this laptop brand new, i'd be really happy. it's an amazing, capable machine that just "works". i really, really like this, and i might have a laptop brand i suck up to, being now lenovo for laptops and apple for any possible laptops.
