      Dear Twitterwebs: suggest a laptop which is a) not lower spec than a mid-2014 MBP (e.g. 16GB RAM), b) fucking *perfect* with Linux c) <15"

      @directhex Thinkpad T440p, can take 16GB, 14" 1080p, Intel Wifi, nV mobile GPU, i7 Haswell CPU. It's on my list. http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t440p/?sb=:000001D4:0003F506 …:

      @popey looks like the t440p is discontinued anyway, as I expected.

      @popey T450s looks lovely, but I'd like some anecdotes from users.

      @directhex @popey I have a T450s, it's lovely. Anything you particularly want to know?

          @colmmacuait @popey does it work? That sounds obtuse, but I mean things like webcam & wifi (which don't on MBP), touchpad/trackpoint, miniDP

          @directhex @popey haven't tried miniDP, all the rest work perfectly on Ubuntu 15.04

          @directhex @popey for me it was unbox, install, oh it all works. Installed laptop-mode-tools for better battery life but that was about it
