Buying advice.

Ok, so this might fall to personal preference.

I'm looking laptop to my 2-month trip and somehow I just looked Thinkpads first.

Main usages will be basic stuff(surfing web and writing) with occasional gaming, most demanding would be CIV6. All those are used with varying condition.

Few options are in my price range.

* X230 i5-3230M/4GB/320HDD/12"IPS *^^Some ^^white ^^spots ^^on ^^screen ^^due ^^hits ^^to ^^screen*

* X201 i5-520M/4GB/128SSD/12.1" TFT

* X131e i3-3227U/4GB/320HDD/11.6"

And for a "wildcard" there is another

* X230 i5-3320M/8Gt/128Gt SSD but without IPS panel. (same price as the first x230)

I might lean to that X230 with IPS but I don't know how severe those white spots are and living without SSD might be a bit of a struggle.

All above are 200€ or tad under.
