[TriLUG] Looking for a good laptop for development

[John Franklin via TriLUG]

Fedora may as well be built for Thinkpads. I have a T460s that runs it like a champ, a friend of mine has an ancient T20 that (IIRC) he runs the latest Fedora on.  They are easy to find on the secondary market, at a variety of price points, and easy to upgrade.  The usual caveat emptor applies.
