    I have a brand new Lenovo Thinkpad x121e. I rushed into buying it and it turns out it's not really fit for purpose. I got seduced by its almost tablet-like dimensions and extreme portability, but it turns out I don't take advantage of its portability and I need something bigger and faster considering the type of programs I'm expecting it to run comfortably.

    If you were me, would you try to sell the x121e on a site like adverts.ie, or look around for a place that would do some kind of trade-in deal?

    Would really appreciate some advice! :)

    I'm actually going to stick with it... The keyboard is just too high-quality to give up - I've since auditioned other laptops and the keys feel so flimsy by comparison.

    The performance issues I've managed to come to terms with - in fact I've managed to speed things up quite a bit, and have also made adjustments to the programs I most use to avoid having to squint.
