Thinkpads Forum

I'm looking for a mobile, lightweight laptop for learning programing with a good screen (matte, 1600x900) and an ergonomic keyboard.
I think that t420s optimal choice - last Thinkpad with classical keyboard and only 1800g.

I found fine t420s but it's German keyboard (large ENTER).
Which other models (except x220) can be mounted keyboard with UK Layout?

That?

I am worried only about the poor quality of the screens in that series.

Yeah, it's a very nice machine, as in size, weight, look and feel. Even my T430 is more powerful than my T420s, the T420s is still my daily runner because of that. And I've just replaced its palmrest and memory cover, so it's in pretty good shape, and I've got it 4 years ago.

Should be fine, and I see it's pretty cheap.

It's bad but nothing to really put you down if you are not overly pretentious.
