Consensus on the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 3? (i5-5200u)

[TwistedFury]

What's the general consensus on this model? Looking to get one with the 1440p screen, 256GB SSD, and the i5-5200U for $330. Used mainly for school work on the go.

Thin, light, good battery life, well built, quality construction. Are you buying on-line or from the current owner?

If you buy, a clean install of Windows MUST be considered (as critical). You don't want to use the previous owners install, nor the typical bloatware that Lenovo installs.

I'm getting it online @COLGeek but I plan on wiping Windows and throwing Ubuntu on it if that solves your concerns.
