why I have chosen/stick to this very model

I think this is may the last Thinkpad purchase I ever made, not because I don't like it, actually I love it, but I don't like the newer ones (ThinkPad X40 and higher).

For me this this very model was/is the (second) last perfect one, so I never got a newer one and the last known good, the X32, is not a update which is really enhancing. My X31 is very solid, ultraportable and fast enough for the "office" stuff I do with it.

This is partly may also featured by the newer ones, but I miss some things of my X31 very much on them:

  • the port-layout is much better than the "newer one". I hate ports on the sides especially on the right one, and all newer ones have all ports there...
  • the LCD cover with this thick, wide, "salient" borders are a build in "anti pen" feature, nothing can slip in and the cover is absolutely robust and "unbreakable". Or at least feels like this ;)
  • the overall case feels much better engineered, like I could walk over it without doing any damage, the newer ones just don't feel like this (no I am not going to try it)
  • its one of the last fully IBM crafted ones, as I am not comfortable with Lenovo

things related to (my) ThinPads I am currently on

I am currently start to build my own "Debian Testing on the X31"-how to, leaving the "simple installation", but is aimed at the configuration.
