Thinkpad T420

I recently ordered a new Thinkpad t420 off of Lenovo's website. I figured it was about time to replace my Asus eeepc with an actual notebook, something that I could actually use for programming. I wanted something durable that would last a while, and of course something that could handle Linux well. I opted for the t420 and took advantage of some of Lenovo's black friday deals.

It shipped out on Dec. 2 and should arrive by Dec. 8.
