I am a software developer and have used IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads for a
long time always with Linux and excellent results. Five so far, most
recently I have used X Series X200, X220 and now X240.
Currently running Fedora 21. (Fingerprint reader is not yet supported
without difficulty but it was on the X220)

I've tried the x230's I don't like 'em too much. But I too have
been a
user of Lenovo laptops for years, they're truly tough laptops!!
