[lug] Shopping for a thin & light

[Jose Castilleja]

I have been using the Lenovo THinkpad x120 series (mainly the x120e),
running ubuntu and have been very happy.  It is not as thin, and is almost
as light as my asus transformer/dock setup.  I could easily carry either
around and not notice the difference.
