[TriLUG] Looking for a good laptop for development

[Jimmy Dorff via TriLUG]

I just ordered a refurb Thinkpad X260. It's new enough to be have all
the modern needs, but old enough to still have upgradeable/replaceable
components and no dongle Ethernet. Latest ones have soldered RAM :(

$600 with NC tax / 1 Year Standard Depot Warranty
