In the market for a low cost, small Lenovo Thinkpad

[Robert Moskowitz]

I have 2 Lenovo x140e with 16Gb mem for my main Fedora systems (and one 
more for Win10).

The 11" screen is VERY important to be able to work comfortably on an 
airplane.

I HAD 3 Lenovo x120e with 4Gb for testing and special purposes.  2 died 
recently (fan failures after only some 10+ years running!) and I need to 
replace them.

I see one ebay ad for an x131e.  Is this comparable?

Anything else to consider?  I like Thinkpads as the eraserhead pointer 
is very valuable; I don't like touch pads.

Thanks!

With the simple search, i got this:

https://www.productindetail.com/pn/lenovo-thinkpad-x131e

Does your current computer do not support the internet search? ;-)

Oh, I know of that URL and have tried the compare to see how it is 
against the x120e and get:

"Products not found: lenovo thinkpad x120e. Check if the product name is 
complete and spelled correctly. "

hmm.  maybe the search is case sensitive?

I want to know where it is with the 120 and 140 and my search foo is not 
working.  As usual.

What is the relevance of a broken Lenovo website to Fedora Users?

Yes.  I tend to follow that, but I am in too many conversations with 
people that just don't get inline responses and wonder why you just 
returned their message to them.  So I tend to forget where I am...

I had one aunt that just could not wrap her thoughts around responses 
scattered inline.  More than once she just kicked my message back and 
said to say it all on top or not at all!

And in person she led the way with talking over others in the room. I do 
miss her.
