have been a 7 years' user of x200 until it recently started to get random freezes - even in bios.
I was advised by service it might be cheaper to buy another laptop, after this one was cleaned, thermal treated and found no sure cause of problem.
This is a hard decision because x200 has been good for everything incl. Music making, and it has a new battery and working ssd. Still, time to say goodbye and sell for parts, I suppose - unless you can advise otherwise.
With that in mind, I wonder if you could recommend a worthy successor. I have no new requirements, ie. 10 inch monitor, 4gb, ssd, dual core duo - that is all sufficient, although I would appreciate a hint on what the best bang for buck would be now.
I have recently switched from win7 to Linux mx - and am totally happy, so a Microsoft system is not a requirement, but if it were Windows, then 7.
This means that perhaps it might be better to buy a new budget laptop, in terms of life expectancy,, again, per dollar?
