Nope. x220 is from 2012 model. x230 2013 model. if you can find a laptop that can last 10 yrs please let me know too. :)

I have a HP 6510b which is still running Win10 without any problem. 11 years. Slow of course.

Buy cheap laptop like $400 to $500 laptop worth waiting for IT show? Or not much diff? How much cheaper compared to getting from SLS shops or major electronic retailers?

Not sure about the longevity of current gen laptops. I have a old Compaq Evo N600 lasted 11yrs plus still in working condition before donating to the recycling centre. Also have a Dell XPS M1330 bought in 2008 and repaired once in 2014, still going strong using it as a media player in parents' room. The pre-installed Windows Vista is EOL and I replaced it with Ubuntu.

I do agree that you should wait for the IT show that is happening early March. I believe this time it is at Suntec. Otherwise, you can go Qoo10 and look for Asus E402MA and look for this laptop with the Intel N4200 processor. It should be fast and cheap.

Unfortunately, I am no user of Linux, so can't really advice on this. However, you can try to Google online.

I am lost. What is a desktop laptop? NUC is not a laptop since you need to connect it to a monitor. So it really depends if you need it mobile or not. Also, you need to consider the fact that the NUCs are not exactly cheap. The base price normally don't come with ram and storage. Also, you need to shell out extra money for a monitor if you do not have one. OS, I suppose is not a problem for you since you are going for Linux. Again, my suggestion is that you check whether it works well with Linux to begin with since I have seen people claiming flaky support from Intel for Linux.

TF why are so sexpensive if they don't come with display? So they don't come with ram and storage?? They have MacBook pro level CPU and iris graphics that's why I asked
