Lenovo T60... sure Windows7 is not too sucky, but this thing is aged bro. And not aged like wine, but like milk. Better to settle for something from 2012 (Ivy Bridge) and up. Upgrading of 2 years (and up) can ensure you upgrade at the major release, ie the tick of the "tick tock cycle".
Why I advocate those older Lenovo T* models is because the build quality of those devices is terrific; most of the laptops that are specced with "modern" chipsets are really crappy when regarding the display, keyboard and the general toughness of the devices.
If you desire real quality you need to shell out way ove 2000 euros.

And well why would you want to use any version of Windows is really behind my comprehension. The device I'm typping this with is running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS for example...

Jolla phone is small, slow, hard to get, difficult support, little third party interested as far as the average consumer is concerned. Its a very small niche. Blackberrys, Symbian, webOS, FirefoxOS, Ubuntu Phone.... all niche.

In fact, its hard to even recommend a Windows Phone 8.1 device.
So can you tell me why an user would want to select a system that is "not-a-niche-product", what benefit would that bring to you?
