Didn't put me off. Ordered and dispatched. Arrives tomorrow. How bad can it be? (I have a Gen 2 at work. It's IPS and 2560, but this is Gen 3 with better trackpad, so worth a punt at 1080p TN)
At the price point, you can mostly only get non SSD or only 128GB (which isn't enough). Comparable machines like Dell XPS 13 are up around £900. I've had a camelalert on this for months, as it pops back into stock occasionally after selling out within minutes

Update: was 12 in stock at 8am this morning. Was 11 in stock most of today, after I ordered. Goes on HUKD and down to 5 remaining in 30 mins. Move quickly or miss out until next time!

I have a TN panel (Lenovo x220) and can't complain. Previous laptop I had was a MacBook Pro. Really can't see what the fuss is all about with IPS screens, got no problem with my TN panel, just less easy to share something with people sat near me unless I turn the screen towards them a bit.

I bought this when it was this price last time. Great looking laptop, screen is fine when using it head on but it's has pathetic viewing angles being a tn panel. I left it on windows 7 but I have a bug where you can't adjust the screen brightness after coming out if hibernation.
