Echo these sentiments. Especially the all-Intel models (gfx, networking etc): everything works as it should with no problems. I'm currently using a t430, 8G, 512Mb SSD & HD4000 gfx with Linux Mint 17.2 cinnamon. Rugged, fast, rock stable & superb battery life. The second hand / eBay market for thinkpads is also really good for those who want a nice Linux machine on a budget.

The launch of the machine is seen by many today as the inspiration for a generation of eager young programmers, software and game designers in the UK. The events surrounding its launch, notably Sinclair's well-known rivalry with Acorn, later helped to inspire the design of the ARM architecture and most recently the Raspberry PI (based on ARM), in an effort to reboot the idea of enthusiastic kid programmers first captured by the Spectrum and Acorn's BBC micro. Happy birthday Spec!"
