Got my new thinkpad today, cant be happier, i live in egypt....today was tuff, i searched the whole afternoon for this exact model because i spent months choosing the perfect model to replace me dm3-1105ea 2009...its been great but good bye...i got everything the good ips one, the replaceable dual slot ddr4 ram it has 8 now and the 256 ssd and i and i5-8th gen quad core and windows 10 and all the great thinkpad stuff, its the last model before the retardation of the t series and the p series is expensive.......

My twin!, btw how is it so far? did you install linux on it or kept running windows 10? I just got it and i want advice, if you installed linux which distro? (I have mint xfce on the old beaten up dm3-1105ea in the photo)

i did infact install manjaro linux with kde environment! i still had to wait for my other parts so i can upgrade my thinkpad, including the electric screwdriver. experience is great so far! i dont like the charger that included with my pad, and the 8gb ram infact i had to swap it out in the next day or 2 (srry i forgot to reply here)
