My used IBM Thinkpad finally gave up (graphics processor died). Got a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p, it works well, except the pad. It accepts clicks and pointer positioning, but I prefer a USB mouse. At first the pad was bad enough I almost sent the new T540p back, but playing with the sensitivities to make it more useful. Current version of Mint works well, but I still prefer the external mouse. I mainly use a my laptop in a docking station. It makes hooking up my mouse, phone dock, external blue-ray writer, external hard drive, etc easier.
I do dual boot with the pre-installed Win7 on occasion. It works OK, but I still prefer Linux.
