If you need a laptop and do not want to buy a new one from Lenovo, I suggest to you to buy a Librem 14 or 15 of Purism: https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/ And as another option you could buy a used Lenovo ThinkPad laptop in good conditions from someone in Internet, Best regards Jathan -- Por favor evita enviarme adjuntos en formato de word o powerpoint, si quieres saber porque lee esto: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.es.html ¡Cámbiate a GNU/Linux! http://getgnulinux.org/es
