Very nice. In my opinion no laptop come close ergonomically to the Thinkpad, even post-IBM. They've been my Linux grab-n-go starting with the 755 & T40 and later, x200. You will likely come up with endless uses...Enjoy!
That & the driver support is perfect. Not multitouch but the trackpad is, Wacom digitizers are sharper anyway. I found out about the X series in middle school and have been waiting to find a deal ever since. These make me think back to Powerbook Pismos, Averatecs, Lifebooks, black MacBooks and my Samsung NC10. Probably would have bought an 11e tablet chromebook because I need a touchscreen these days for my GUI pursuits but getting a sandy bridge i7 was cheaper! This one's replacing a dual core atom netbook, it has 2x the ram/swap and I can answer root prompts with my thumbprint. Fedora 23 is hands down easier than iOS and apart from the appliance that is my Windows Samsung, it's all the work machine I need. Oh and everything else works, mine got a multiband 3g modem I need to forge a SIM for. Dualband wifi, bluetooth and the magnesium lid add up to a much better deal than an iPad...
